When it comes to K-pop idols, there’s truly no one more stylish than G-Dragon. The 30-year-old superstar is the lead singer of Big Bang (one of the hottest and highest-earning boy groups of the past decade), a fashion icon, a trend pioneer, and one of the first to adopt gender-neutral styles.
Since G-Dragon is known to always be the first one to wear the latest trend or even start one, fans have really missed seeing him flaunt his style game on the regular. From wearing “man-skirts” to donning blonde dreadlocks, G-dragon’s creativity shines in fashion as it does through his songs.
Now that G-Dragon is currently completing his military service, his fans strongly feel that he needs to return from enlistment for one reason above all others. Recently, netizens are asking for the singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, entrepreneur, and fashion icon to return asap from his military service to continue the fashion trend that has stopped with the Balenciaga Triple S sneakers.
"GD, you need to come back asap. The shoe trend just stopped with Triple S (Balenciaga Triple S sneaker brand)." And reactions to this post included netizen comments such as, "I want to see G-Dragon wearing AirPods. That would be so dope,” "I miss GD, I hope he can be discharged soon and return to promotions,” "The Triple S trend was seriously like magic.”
Unlike typical K-pop icons, G-Dragon has a sense of unisex beauty and temptation, which attracts many fashion followers. Heavy eyeliner, slim figure, feminine dressing style — G-Dragon challenges the stereotype of a male idol. And his unique mix of masculinity and femininity has won him a pass in the fashion world, and more comments on the post proved this.
"Please return and start using sun umbrellas, the heat from the sun is driving me crazy,” one netizen wrote. ”Sun umbrellas need to start trending asap!,” "For real since GD's mullet hair trend, there have literally been no definitive male fashion trends,” "Please use sun umbrellas GD so we can start using them; men want to use them too.”
As the youngest in his family, perhaps G-Dragons’ passion for fashion was slightly influenced by his older sister, Kwon Dami who is a fashion boutique owner for many years. Apparently, a young Kwon Ji-Yong (G-Dragon’s real name) had always helped his sister out, mending the store. This fueled his own love for fashion and fearlessness to try new trends.
Now, G-Dragon loves to convert his clothes and shoes into his own style with cuts, pins, and paintings which make a strong statement. Its all about boldness and uniqueness. He added floral pins to his Nike and Balenciaga sneakers, and he even cut and drew on trousers from his own brand PeaceMinusOne.
