• "BIGBANG" G-Dragon's limited-edition gift to Dara leaves a lasting impression - but for all the wrong reasons

    Former 2NE1 member Sandara Park, more popularly known as Dara, recently shared on social media that her longtime friend and fellow K-pop idol G-Dragon had sent her a special gift.

    G-Dragon, who recently collaborated with Nike to release limited-edition clothes and shoes, gifted Dara with some of these exclusive items.

    Dara took to Instagram on May 3 to share the photos of her gift and express her gratitude. She captioned the post with "Thanks GD" and included some photos of herself smiling brightly while showing off the clothes and shoes.

    The post quickly garnered attention from fans of both Dara and G-Dragon, who were thrilled to see the two K-pop icons still maintaining their close friendship.

    However, one of the photos Dara shared revealed a hilarious mistake on G-Dragon's part. In the picture, Dara showed off a jacket with her full name embroidered onto it.

    However, the name was misspelled as "Sandari Park" instead of "Sandara Park". Dara playfully called out G-Dragon for the mistake, writing in the caption, "Jiyong-Ah…San…San Da Ri Park".

    The post quickly went viral and sparked various reactions from netizens.

    Here are some of the most notable reactions:

    "This is the ultimate friendship goals! G-Dragon's gift to Dara shows how much he values their friendship."

    "G-Dragon has always been known for his generosity and thoughtfulness towards his friends. It's no surprise that he gave Dara such a special gift."

    "The fact that G-Dragon gifted Dara with limited-edition clothes and shoes shows that he knows her style so well. They truly have a strong bond."

    "Dara's reaction to the misspelling on her clothes is so cute! It just goes to show that she appreciates the thought behind the gift more than anything else."

    "It's heartwarming to see how supportive G-Dragon is of Dara's career. He's always been there for her, and this gift just proves it."

    "I'm so excited to see what kind of collaboration Dara and G-Dragon will come up with in the future. They're both so talented, and I know they'll create something amazing."

    "Dara is such a sweetheart, and she deserves all the love and recognition she's been getting lately. I can't wait to hear her new album!"

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
