K-pop star G-Dragon has been featured on Hypebeast, a popular English-language online fashion magazine.

The magazine ran a lengthy article about the 26-year-old member of K-pop boy band BIGBANG, which focuses on how he creates dynamic synergy in two areas of art: music and fashion.

Hypebeast wrote, “The rising influence of G-Dragon encapsulates the current state of affairs in popular culture and the South Korean pop star epitomizes the synonymy that fashion and music share.”

It went on, “For this reason, G-Dragon, a.k.a. Kwon Ji-Yong, stands as the face of the cover feature ㅡ an in-depth look at the synergy between his music and fashion, the interesting partnership that he has with his stylist and what the future holds for the talented artist.”

In an interview with the magazine, G-Dragon confessed that fashion has played a big part in the building of his image so far, and that his goal is for his fans to understand the artistic side of his music by focusing more on the music itself.
