🖊️ Strategic Positioning: Why G-Dragon Tops June 2025 K-Brand Index
Despite a prolonged hiatus from active musical promotions, G-Dragon has maintained substantial brand relevance. His ongoing prominence is notably attributed to diverse engagements, particularly through his globally recognized fashion label, PEACEMINUSONE. His cross-industry appeal, extending from music into high fashion and art collaborations, confirms his dynamic cultural influence.
According to ABRI analyst Han JungGeun, “G-Dragon’s ability to maintain relevance through strategic visibility, brand partnerships, and cross-sector ventures positions him uniquely to capitalize on opportunities emerging from China's easing cultural policies. Effective global collaborations and new content initiatives could further solidify his role as a central figure in Korea’s cultural export strategy.”
