G-Dragon (37, Kwon Ji-yong) will receive the Order of Cultural Merit.
According to a My Daily report on the 15th, G-Dragon will receive the Order of Cultural Merit at the 16th Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards, which will be held at the Haeo-reum Theater of the National Theater of Korea on the 23rd.
There have been several instances where singers have received the Order of Cultural Merit. Lee Mi-ja was awarded the Geumgwan (Gold Crown) Order of Cultural Merit, while Lee Soo-man, Ha Chun-hwa, Cho Yong-pil, Patti Kim, Tae Jin-ah, Nam Jin, and Yang Hee-eun were honored with the Eungwan (Silver Crown) Order of Cultural Merit. In addition, Shin Joong-hyun, Song Chang-sik, and Kim Soo-chul received the Bogwan (Precious Crown) Order of Cultural Merit, and Psy and Lee Moon-sae were awarded the Okgwan (Jade Crown) Order of Cultural Merit. Among idols, BTS was the first to receive the Hwagwan (Flower Crown) Order of Cultural Merit, which they were awarded in 2018.
G-Dragon received the Prime Minister's Commendation in 2016. The Order of Cultural Merit is awarded to those with at least 15 years of distinguished service, and G-Dragon, who debuted with Big Bang in 2006, qualifies.
He released his first solo album in seven years, "POWER," in October of last year, and his third full-length album, "Übermensch," in February. He embarked on his third world tour in March, performing 38 shows in 12 countries until December.
Meanwhile, he continues to make influential moves. G-Dragon was officially appointed as the honorary ambassador for the 2025 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit, which will be held in Gyeongju from the 27th to the 1st of next month. It is highly unusual for a K-pop artist to serve as an honorary ambassador for an APEC summit, demonstrating that G-Dragon is not just a singer, but a symbolic figure of cultural diplomacy. Considering these various factors, he was selected as the recipient of the Order of Cultural Merit.
