Singer G-Dragon will participate in France's 'Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event.'

According to his agency, Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon has been invited by France's First Lady and chairwoman of the hospital foundation, Brigitte Macron, to perform at the 'Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event' taking place on the 23rd (local time) at the La Défense Arena in Paris.

This event is organized by the hospital foundation 'Opération pièces jaunes' to raise funds for building hospitals for children and mental healthcare for youth. G-Dragon will participate as a representative artist of K-POP, spreading positive influence.

The significance of this event is heightened by the fact that it is being held in France, where G-Dragon has a deep connection. He has been active for nearly a decade as the global ambassador for Chanel, appointed by the legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld, greatly contributing to the exchange of fashion and cultural content between the two countries.

Moreover, this performance is expected to be a refreshing stage for European fans who have been eagerly awaiting G-Dragon's live performance. The tickets for the 'Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event' sold out all 35,000 seats within just 10 minutes, drawing significant attention.

The 'Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event' can also be seen on the local terrestrial channel France2.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon continues to set legendary records with his digital single 'Power,' released on October 7 after a hiatus of 7 years and 4 months, and the new song 'Home Sweet Home,' released in November, featuring fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung.

Immediately after its release, 'Home Sweet Home' dominated domestic and international music sites, and as of the 19th, it has achieved a total of 53 number one spots on the Melon daily chart, setting the record for the longest period at number one for a solo artist. Additionally, it has maintained its popularity by ranking number one for 7 consecutive weeks on the Melon weekly chart (from the 4th week of November 2024 to the 1st week of January 2025). Furthermore, according to Jeff Benjamin, a Billboard journalist and K-POP music critic, it ranked 15th on the Billboard Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, showcasing its 'global power.'
