K-pop star G-Dragon has revealed that he does not use mobile banking and relies on a professional to manage his financial affairs.
G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung appeared as guests on an episode of web variety show “Pinggyego” on Saturday, as BIGBANG celebrates its 20th anniversary.
During the episode, the members discussed how to use kiosks and mobile banking. When the topic turned to mobile banking, G-Dragon said, “I can’t do it,” drawing attention from the other guests.
Yoo Jae-suk then asked, “What do you do with your assets if you can’t handle banking?” Haha also joked, “What do you do with all that money?” prompting laughter.
G-Dragon explained, “I have someone who manages my assets for me.” He added that while he can handle banking in person by visiting a branch and speaking with a bank employee, he “can’t do anything on mobile.”
Daesung agreed, saying that he also finds it most convenient to deal directly with bank employees. “Even when I call, I connect with a customer service representative and handle my business that way,” he said.
BIGBANG recently released its new single, “BiiiG.” The song marks the group’s first new release in about four years and four months since 2022. It has drawn attention as the group’s 20th-anniversary release and the beginning of a new chapter for BIGBANG.
BIGBANG has also launched its 20th-anniversary world tour, BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR "XX : COSMOS." The tour will begin in Korea and continue across North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia, with 33 shows in 19 cities worldwide.
