[NEWS] G-DRAGON DONATES LARGE SUMS OF MONEY ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Moved by his fans who donated 20 million won to charity in his name, G-Dragon has also donated a large amount of money in celebration of his birthday.
It was G-Dragon's 24th birthday on 18th and on that day, it was reported that his fans donated 2 million won to Seoul National University Children's Hospital. According to YGE, after learning this, G-Dragon wanted to donate money himself too. He has donated 50 million won in total.
G-Dragon told his fans previously that he won't be accepting their birthday gifts this year. He said he made this decision because he does not want to burden the fans, who always prepare carefully-selected presents for him every year.
G-Dragon's warm care has inspired the fans to step forward in order to help others. Instead of buying him gifts, they collected 20 million won and donated it to the Children's Hospital, which has drawn public attention. According to him, "It was nice to see the fans thinking about the people around us and their donations mean a lot to me." He also expressed that he is willing to do voluntary work. What he did has lay a milestone in idols fandoms.
G-Dragon further elaborated, "It was completely unexpected. I am really impressed by what the fans have done. I am already thankful for the support they give us each time. They have good hearts for being aware how many difficulties others are going through. Because of this, I would also like to donate 50 million won for Seoul National University Children's Hospital. This birthday is very likely the most memorable one that I have ever had."
In fact, G-Dragon has already taken part in YGE's "WITH" campaign and has been donating annually. The campaign started in 2009. It is an official campaign in which YGE donates part of the revenues received from their artists's performances and selling of merchandises.
G-Dragon said, "In the meantime, we are very busy on working on our music and it is difficult for us to have a lot of contact with the fans so I want to take this chance to do more positive things to the society."
Moreover, the 5th debut anniversary of Big Bang is on the next day (19th) so this carries a greater meaning.

[NEWS] G-DRAGON - WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN COMMON?
A doctored image was popped up on various portal websites with the title of Singer songwriter ‘idols’ in which Big Bang’s G-Dragon, CN Blue’s Jung Yong Hwa, B2ST’s Jun Hyung and an emerging star Park Yong Guk were analyzed to see if they have something in common.
They are all turned out to be competent singer songwriters: G-Dragon appeared on MBC’s popular variety show Infinite Challenge to attend a singing contest with his own song.
People who saw the photo insisted to include their favorite stars in the list as well, jokingly saying that the four all have ‘Yong’ in their names.

[NEWS] G-DRAGON'S FANS DONATED 20 MILLION WON & FLO RIDA SENT A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR G-DRAGON'S 23rd BIRTHDAY
G-Dragon’s fans donated 20 million won, or roughly $20,000 USD, to a childcare hospital in Seoul on August 18th for the star singer’s 23rd birthday. The fan site, “Kwon Ji Yong’s Supporters,” said, “To celebrate G-Dragon’s 23rd birthday, we donated 12 million won ($12,000) for children suffering from rare diseases, and 8 million won ($8,000) to kids fighting heart diseases and hydrocephalus.”
“Since G-Dragon has already stated that he would not accept any birthday gifts, we are instead going to increase our donation efforts and raise awareness for the needy children, as we believe that’s what G-Dragon meant to say,” the fan site added.
U.S. rapper Flo Rida has also sent a special congratulatory message on his Twitter page, saying, “GD, Happy Birthday!” The two were involved in a plagiarism controversy last year after G-Dragon’s “Heartbreaker” was suspected of copying Flo Rida’s hit single, “Right Round.”
Fans were surprised to see Flo Rida's message as they commented, “This should end all plagiarism allegations,” and “GD's personal connections are quite impressive.”
