It has been reported that BIGBANG member G-Dragon was involved in a minor car accident yesterday.

On August 3, a representative of BIGBANG’s agency, YG Entertainment, told Newsen, “G-Dragon got into a car accident on the central inland highway on August 2 around 6:30 PM (KST). It was a chain collision of seven vehicles.”

The rep also explained, “At the time of the accident, the van was carrying G-Dragon, his manager, and other company employees. G-Dragon was not injured, so he transferred to another vehicle after the accident and arrived at Busan. He completed the scheduled performance in Busan and safely returned to Seoul.”

It appears that G-Dragon’s van was the sixth vehicle in the chain collision, and no one in the van, driven by his manager, sustained any injuries.

Earlier, reports had initially said that fellow group member Taeyang had been in the car with G-Dragon at the scene of the accident. However, those reports were later corrected, stating that Taeyang had not gone to Busan with G-Dragon.

1. [+192, -26] I'm sure it was because they weren't gravely injured that they didn't go to the hospital and went straight to perform right after

2. [+176, -23] Shouldn't the concert hosts canceled their performance?? There's a typhoon and a car accident on top of that, they made the audience wait up late and forced the singers to perform after a car accident...

3. [+158, -36] Fortunate that nothing severe happened.. ㅠㅠㅠ Shows their work ethic with how they decided to go perform for their fans instead of the hospital. I'll pray that they aren't injured..

4. [+23, -4] If it rained that hard, shouldn't they have canceled it? The company reacted poorly to the issue as well. They should've let fans know right away that they were going to be late because of the car accident and sent them home instead of giving weird excuses like "G-Dragon's getting his make up fixed/changing his clothes" and making fans wait in torture like that. The concert hosts are idiots.

5. [+22, -3] Heard they went to go perform instead of the hospital because they felt sorry to their fans and couldn't perform the encore because they were hurt and had to go to the hospital.

A chain collision sounds scary. I'm always afraid of getting into an accident because of other people. I'm glad no one was injured.

I hope he was wearing a seatbelt...

Read about this last night and was confused since no one knew if Tae was in the car or not. As long as no one is hurt and everyone in the car went to the hospital, then I won't worry.

Driving in Korea is no joke.
I heard about and saw so many crashes when I was there, one was so bad that the highway to gangnam was at a standstill for a couple of hours. Then on top of it, some people don't wear seatbelts.
I feel like even being on the pavement there, you're really putting your life in your hands.

I'm glad everyone here was ok though.

mte, netizen 4.

I'm glad he's ok; hopefully nobody in the other cars was injured either.
