G-Dragon donates 81.8 million won to charity for his birthday

Big Bang's G-Dragon celebrated his 26th (Korean age) birthday by making a generous donation.

G-Dragon made a donation of 81800000 won (~$73,000USD), symbolizing his birthday August 18th, to the Seungil Hope Foundation for the establishment of a rehabilitation hospital for Lou Gehrig's disease.

YG Entertainment shared that G-Dragon decided on the donation in return of his fans' overwhelming love and support throughout the years. G-Dragon's fans made a similar donation, using his birth date, of 8,180,000 won to the same charity in his name.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon will be holding an encore concert of his solo world tour 'One of a Kind: The Final' on August 31st and September 1st in Korea.







No Big Bang in the pics but I'm sure they celebrated with him anyway! Happy 25th Jiyong. :)

He looks very haggard. Happy birthday to him!

[chaincombo.livejournal.com]

loll this comment made m ugly cackle. Your like a mean aunty, have you put on weight? happy birthday btw. lolll

[coldhives.livejournal.com]

LMAO

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

even though he has been more annoying and upsetting than not lately, i can't help but always feel for my first bias. happy birthday!
good on him for donating his one money as well as fan donations!

also, he kinda looks like kai in that first picture...

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

he isn't the easiest person to have as a bias, but at the same time there isn't quite anyone like him so no-one can replace him (and that's probably why he became my bias in the first place!)

[iglossmyeyes.livejournal.com]

true. he does stupid stuff all the time and his ~swaggy persona is driving me crazy but he's very interesting at the same time. you either love him or hate him.

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

you either love him or hate him exactly, it's impossible to feel neutral about him. when I first got into Big Bang I didn't like him at all, but then he became my bias and once he is there's no way back haha. he always manages to elicit strong responses, also proven by all the posts about him.

Personally I'm also not a fan of the whole swag deal, but I remind myself it's gd, not jiyong. Hopefully it's a phase he'll grow out of haha.

happy birthday GD! 81800000 won is a lot! not everyone is both rich AND generous. good on you GD! proud of VIPs too. sadly, this post would hardly generate any buzz since its not something negative :P but still, hope GD had a great time!

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

things like this and the way he is around kids etc. are always lovely reminders that his heart is definitely in the right place.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

Wow that's a lot o-o

happy birthday Jiyoungie!

(stares at your icon)

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I looooove your icon, I could watch it for ages!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I understand you haha
And Toothless is coming back next yeaaaar ! I shoudln't be biased with a freaking animated dragon, but, hey, he's just so awkwardly cute !

[melany2110.livejournal.com]

G-dragon will forever be my first and only kpop bias,

I don't agree with his style lately but on the other hand, songs like 'That xx' I think are absolutely amazing and I'm very excited with his new album on the way! Can't wait :)

So happy b'day to my first and only kpop love GD!!

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday Ji! (^__^)~<3 Despite everything looking forward to your album/MV release~

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday GD
"sigh" I've fallen of his stan line but I really want him to find a solid (non-plagarized) musical direction. Boy is crazy talented and has potential to be a lasting force in kpop

i remember when my username was iloveg_dragon

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday King of Kpop

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of money, good job! I wonder why he chose that charity in particular though?

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

it's affiliated with YG (Sean, the guy who GD retweeted, had founded it and is part of the company)

nice icon by the way ♥

[halfdressedliar.livejournal.com]

From all the videos it sounded like a blast, and a certain model showed up so that must've made it that much better :)

[plantbottle.livejournal.com]

It's the things like the charity donations he makes that makes me remember why I paid attention to him in the first place. That is an insane amount of money, and good for him for donating it! I hope he had a blast.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

That's very nice of him ^^

[gdgdbb.livejournal.com]

happy birthday <3 despite everything, i still have so much respect for this man

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

Always lovely to hear of good things being done as a celebration! Well done to Jiyong and his fans for their generosity :) I hope their care for others will continue and grow with his years!

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to say Happy Birthday to Jiyong.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Nice to see a positive post, and positive comments, too !
BIG BANG got me into k-pop, and GD definitively had a lot of influence to it (sorry TOP), I'll forever be looking out for what he's doing, even the stupid things and mistakes. And this donation is so nice, from him and the fans !
Happy Birthday Jiyong~

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

Nice to see a positive post, and positive comments, too

mte haha. + the rest of the comment.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

came in just to see if lee soo hyuk was present, will now leave happy.

[mundanetuna.livejournal.com]

Don't really like him as much as I used to but it was nice of him to make that donation.

[mnemo-syne.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's a lovely and generous gesture.

Forever my bias, cannot be helped.

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

I forgot it was his birthday. Oop!!

Alright Jiyong, I hate you but at the same time I kinda love you so happy birthday!!! <3

And hello Hong Jong Hyun ;)

[mollyana.livejournal.com]

Happy b-day Jiyong. Its sad that BIGBANG had reached the 7 years and there is no Omona post celebratory.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]
