On August 22, BIGBANG members appeared on MC Yoo Jae Suk's online entertainment program "Pinggyego", within the framework of the group's 20th anniversary activities.
When HaHa asked the artists: "Can banking transactions be done by phone?" Yoo Jae Suk replied yes, but G-Dragon said: "I can't do it".
Yoo Jae Suk immediately expressed surprise: "Don't know what to do with banking transactions? How to calculate your huge assets?". HaHa also agreed: "With so much money, what to do?".
After that, G-Dragon explained that he has a private asset management expert. But Yoo Jae Suk still advised the male singer: "Even if there is a manager, you still have to check yourself".
HaHa continued: "Do you trust people like that? I don't even trust machines. So I have to go directly to the bank." But when urgent, HaHa still uses mobile banking, and normally he usually gathers transactions and processes them once.
In particular, HaHa also revealed that he often writes the account number to transfer money on a note and then takes it to the bank, making everyone laugh.
BIGBANG members also shared different ways to manage assets. Taeyang said: "Daesung has managed his own money from the early days of his debut".
Taeyang also said that he initially did not directly manage assets, but then changed. He shared: "About 2-3 years after debuting, I thought: I have to know these things myself.
After talking to his parents, Taeyang started directly managing his assets. He also went to the bank, but most of the transactions were done on the phone, showing a complete difference from G-Dragon.
Although not knowing how to transact by phone, G-Dragon added: "If I go to the bank, meet the staff and talk directly, I can still do it, but I completely don't know what is done by phone.
There is currently no exact figure on G-Dragon's assets announced. However, after debuting with BIGBANG in 2006, becoming a global star and continuing to achieve many successes as a solo artist, he has maintained his leading star status for the past 20 years.
G-Dragon once bought the luxury Nine One Hannam apartment for 16.4 billion won in cash. In addition, he is said to own the Gallery Foret apartment in Seongsu-dong and two buildings in Cheongdam-dong.
In addition, according to the audit report of the management company Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon's revenue paid by the company last year is estimated at over 65 billion won (about 1,200 billion VND), mainly thanks to the success of the global tour "Übermensch".
Not to mention, G-Dragon also directly composes most of BIGBANG's hit songs and solo albums, so he also receives a significant amount of royalties each year.
According to Korean media, G-Dragon's total assets are estimated to be at least over 100 billion won (about 1,800 billion VND).
Meanwhile, on August 19, BIGBANG returned to the music race with the simultaneous release of the new song "BiiiG" on global online music platforms and MVs on YouTube.
This is the group's first new song after 4 years and was released on the 20th anniversary of its debut, quickly topping the real-time charts of major music platforms in Korea.
