GD selected as third most influential star in China

Big Bang‘s G-Dragon has recently been selected by a famous Chinese portal site as the third most influential star.

China’s Sina Entertainment announced week 23 of its “Sina Fame Room,” in which rankings are determined based on frequency of exposure in online media, amount of times searched on Weibo (SNS), number of times referenced on Weibo, fan support index, and influence, among others. Week 23 was based on data accumulated between March 14-20.

G-Dragon beat out popular Chinese stars such as Li Yi Feng, Yang Mi, and Luhan to become third in the rankings. This makes GD the first non-Chinese star to make it into the top ten.

Sina Entertainment commented by saying, “G-Dragon of BIGBANG has become the first overseas star to place within the top ten after gaining popularity among Chinese fans and he was even able to rank third as well.”

Meanwhile, BIGBANG has been holding a local fan meeting tour since March 11 across eight cities in China, including Shanghai.

The thing is these polls and results are weekly so he's been selected like this for the week but it's likely to change lol Big Bang definitely is more popular than kpop in China tho so good for him

normally I don't care for these kind of rankings either, but bc he's the first non-Chinese person to be selected, makes this a bit special

yeah I've been really surprised by their growth in China, it seems to have happened so quickly? I'm not sure if it's because they started promoting in China for pretty much the first time, or if those promotions were a result of their increased popularity in the first place.

And yeah, MADE has been such a success. Can't believe they made another Fantastic Baby with BBB, haha.

Such an irrelevant flop tbh!

I know a lot of people don't like GD and there are legitimate reasons for that, but it really burns my biscuits when people try to act like he's not influential and didn't work hard as fuck to get where he is right now because that's just objectively not true

It's kind of amazing that they are in their tenth year and are still pulling in numbers and records. I remember when the 5 year curse myth was a thing.

GD is so popular in China. I went shopping the other day and Loser was playing in 2 separate stores. My students always talk about how they like Big Bang and Icon. They are very popular here.
