G-Dragon Donates ₩880 Million for Youth Alcohol Addiction Recovery Support

Global K-pop sensation G-Dragon has reaffirmed his dedication to social responsibility through a generous donation of ₩880 million (approximately $636, 000 USD) to aid youth alcohol addiction treatment. This philanthropic effort was facilitated via the JUSPEACE Foundation, where G-Dragon holds the position of honorary chairman.

This impactful announcement came during the launch event for his third signature highball, which took place on June 13 at the Grand Hyatt Seoul. The event was part of the Peaceminusone Premium Highball series, introducing the latest variant titled “The Signal.”

A Meaningful Message: “Imperfection Is Okay”

The recently unveiled highball features artwork meticulously hand-drawn by G-Dragon, completing a trilogy that began with the Black Highball on April 9 and the Red Highball on May 27. Collectively, these beverages draw inspiration from the themes of Peace, Emotion, and Coexistence, tackling metaphorical “deficiencies on Earth”and narrating a story from an imaginative galaxy.

In this final installment, G-Dragon represents imperfect daisies adorned in diverse colors, textures, and styles, conveying the powerful message: “It’s okay to be imperfect as we are.” Through this, he seeks to foster a transcendental sense of solidarity, reminding us that each person grapples with their own imperfections and shares the journey of the human experience.

The donation of ₩880 million is particularly significant, symbolically incorporating the number 8, a figure often linked with infinity (∞). This illustrates G-Dragon’s vision for an enduring cultural and charitable movement originating from the Peaceminusone highball series.

G-Dragon expressed his hope that this initiative will cultivate a sustainable culture of giving, where “joyful experiences never before seen on Earth can bloom in more places, ” regardless of how participants engage.

A Broader Perspective on Art, Culture, and Technology

Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation and chairman of the JUSPEACE Foundation, highlighted the overarching vision behind this initiative:

Through this recent donation and his creative pursuits, G-Dragon seamlessly intertwines art, culture, and philanthropy, demonstrating the profound impact that entertainment can have as a medium for social change. With Peaceminusone, he represents more than a product launch; he embodies a beacon of hope, healing, and limitless potential.
