Following YG Entertainment’s update on G-Dragon’s trademark rights to his name, social media was abuzz with reactions from fans expressing their gratitude towards the agency. The update, which was initially announced by the agency, received widespread attention and sparked discussions among fans.
On August 1, TenAsia, a Korean news outlet, published an exclusive report providing updates on G-Dragon’s trademark rights for his name. Sources revealed that YG Entertainment has officially transferred the rights to G-Dragon’s name without receiving any compensation.
The agency representative also reached out to the outlet and stated, “The artist now holds the trademark rights for both G-Dragon and GD.”
At the same time, Galaxy Corporation, the current company of G-Dragon, also issued a short statement regarding the transaction: “There is absolutely no issue with using the name G-Dragon.”
According to sources, YG’s decision holds great significance for the music industry, as trademarks are considered valuable forms of intellectual property (IP). Due to his status as one of the most influential stars in K-pop, G-Dragon’s every move is closely monitored.
Since his debut with K-pop sensation BIGBANG in 2006, G-Dragon has continuously made a global impact with his unique songwriting, dynamic performances, and unwavering commitment to creativity. In addition to his musical talents, G-Dragon has also gained recognition as a prominent fashion figure and art lover.
Despite the agency’s decision to give G-Dragon his name rights, VIPs on social media responded positively. Many expressed their appreciation to YG Entertainment for avoiding any potential drama surrounding trademark rights. Additionally, some viewed this update as a confirmation of G-Dragon’s ongoing solo promotions.
