King of K-pop

G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, is a hugely influential figure in K-pop. G-Dragon is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer.

He’s best known as the legendary leader of the boy band Big Bang, but he also has a successful solo career. He’s nicknamed the “King of K-pop” due to his immense popularity and impact on the genre.
