Recently, information about male singer G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong) - leader of Big Bang - has caused a storm on social networks in a special way.
Sources in the entertainment industry said that this top Korean star not only paid double his salary, but also gave a luxury apartment "worth hundreds of millions of won" to members of his close staff.
This is not a regular reward but direct housing support for the "Team GD", including managers and staff who have accompanied him since he became famous.
The report said that G-Dragon has a view of putting caring for those around him above personal enjoyment.
The story quickly spread on social networks and became a hot topic in Asia, especially on Weibo.
Many netizens expressed admiration, saying that housing support in Seoul is an extremely valuable benefit due to high real estate prices. Many opinions commented that this action shows why G-Dragon is always at a "different level" in the Kpop world.
In addition to donating houses, his treatment for the team is also likened to "unbelievably generous".
Earlier this year, an employee revealed that G-Dragon had given him a "Übermensch" version necklace and a gold bar to congratulate them on giving birth.
At the end of 2025, G-Dragon also gave gold to 2 employees who publicly announced their relationship after his tour. In a behind-the-scenes video, he personally presented gifts, creating a warm moment that spread strongly.
Previously, the owner of the hit "Crooked" attracted attention when giving luxury watches to 2 close bodyguards. G-Dragon bowed down, personally presented gifts and directly thanked them. These watches are a limited edition Astronomia G-Dragon, in collaboration with Jacob & Co., with only 8 units worldwide, each worth about 1 million USD.
In July 2025, he also gifted more than 10 limited edition necklace dancers worth about 1.65 million won each to thank their efforts.
He even requested to display the names and photos of all employees on the large screen in turn, so that everyone behind the scenes could also step out to the lights.
This generosity and kindness has helped G-Dragon build a rare loyal team in the industry. According to revelations, his team has a very low turnover rate, some people have been attached for more than 20 years - a very rare thing in the constantly changing entertainment industry.
Many of them have been with him since he was at YG Entertainment until he operated independently. Long-time bodyguard Jaeho, often called "tiger" by fans, is also a familiar face alongside G-Dragon.
After leaving YG, G-Dragon allowed personal managers to open social media accounts to share life and behind-the-scenes. Through this, fans noticed that his close team often traveled with him and enjoyed many privileges like artists, including traveling by private plane during the "Übermensch" tour in 2025.
