This honorary table was voted by the leading US cultural and fashion media site Hypebeast. This is the ninth time the male artist has appeared on this prestigious ranking, thereby setting a new record for a K-pop artist.
Hypebeast 100 is an annual list to honor 100 individuals with outstanding influences in contemporary culture, spanning many fields such as fashion, music, art, design and lifestyle. The choice is not based on pure popularity but reflects the influence, ability to shape trends and creative impressions of each individual in the global community.
With his ninth consecutive appearance, G-Dragon became the K-pop artist with the most appearances in the history of Hypebeast 100. He was first honored in 2013 and will maintain his lasting influence until 2025. In the context of this list often gathering designers, creative directors and key figures of the fashion - art industry, G-Dragon has emerged as a rare case that has been recognized many times, mainly for its influence originating from music.
Not only is G-Dragon the leader of BigBang, he is also considered a symbol of the intersection between music and fashion. His unique personal style, groundbreaking artistic thinking and trend- creativity have helped him move out of the framework of a K-pop idol, becoming an inspiration for many generations of artists and creators around the world.
In addition to his mark on the cultural front, G-Dragon has also just completed the G-Dragon 2025 World Tour [Übermensch] with encore shows in Seoul. The tour stretches through 17 cities in 12 countries, attracting great attention from international fans and experts, showing the male artist's persistent appeal after many years of activities.
