G-Dragon’s recent gift exchange for fans has caused quite a stir after one of his items appeared for sale on a second-hand marketplace.

On December 20, G-Dragon took part in a pre-recording for SBS's Inkigayo, where he delighted fans by giving out thoughtful gifts like hats, scarves, masking tape, keychains, photcards, and string bags. He even prepared coffee trucks and delicious desserts to show appreciation to the fans who attended.

However, things took a turn when a listing for a "G-Dragon Inkigayo Reverse Gift, PEACEMINUSONE Photocard Full Set" popped up on the Lightning Market, a second-hand marketplace, priced at a whopping 730,000 KRW.

In response to the resale, G-Dragon’s agency, Galaxy Corporation, quickly issued a warning on X (formerly Twitter), stressing that the transfer or sale of items related to public broadcasts is strictly prohibited.

The agency announced that anyone involved in such activities would face immediate exclusion from participating in future broadcasts, with no prior warning.

They also assured fans that a blacklist would be maintained privately due to concerns about personal information.

G-Dragon recently released his song POWER in October and HOME SWEET HOME featuring Taeyang and Daesung on November 22.

Fans can also catch him performing at the 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon on December 25 at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, Yeongjong Island.

The star-studded 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon will feature performances by G-Dragon, Key, 2NE1, NCT 127, Stray Kids, (G)I-DLE, ATEEZ, ITZY, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Lee Young Ji, aespa, ENHYPEN, IVE, and many more.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
