G-Dragon is the only idol to make the "Hypebeast 100" list of the most important people in street fashion.

The 2023 "Hypebeast 100" is a list of 100 people who are very important in the world of street fashion. It was released by Hypebeast, the biggest name in street fashion.

G-Dragon is the only K-pop star on this list.

Hypebeast began by praising G-Dragon's band, PEACEMINUSONE, which has become very popular very quickly.

They also said that the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 was probably "one of the greatest releases last year."

The magazine also said that PEACEMINUSONE's clothing line was "not far behind when it comes to popularity."

On the other hand, G-Dragon was the first Korean star to be named in Hypebeast 100. Since 2013, he has been on the list seven times.

In 2023, he is also the only Asian artist on the list.

Netizens have said the following about G-Dragon being on the 2023 "Hypebeast 100" list:

G-Dragon is also the first Korean star to be on the cover of Hypebeast.

Being the first Asian figure to make the Hypebeast 100 list and starting the airport fashion trend are just a few of the ways he has broken new ground.

It's really amazing.

Best of luck, GD!

I found out that he is a much bigger fashion icon than I thought when I heard that he was the only Korean star chosen.

His trip to the police station has become a hot topic, which shows that he is a real character with star quality.

It's easy to tell who GD is, and I'm sure he'll handle anything, so I'm always looking forward to seeing him in music or fashion.

Heck, even people who don't like GD think that the group will return and be active again, no matter what.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
