Why Fans Are Frustrated With G-Dragon’s Agency
Step Up, Galaxy Corporation!
G-Dragon’s Comeback: High Hopes, Honest Feedback, and a Lot of Love
After more than 11 years, G-Dragon is finally back with a full-length album. His last studio release, COUP D’ETAT, dropped in September 2013 — so yes, it’s been a long time coming. And this time, he did not return under the familiar YG Entertainment, but instead through a surprising new partnership with a tech-forward company called Galaxy Corporation.
