Galaxy Corporation announced on December 17, 2025, that singer G-Dragon has been selected for the "2025 Hypebeast 100," a list released by the American magazine Hypebeast.
The "Hypebeast 100" is an annual list compiled by Hypebeast, recognizing 100 individuals who have demonstrated influence across contemporary culture, including fashion, streetwear, music, art, and design. The selection is based on the impact made on culture as a whole, regardless of nationality or genre.
G-Dragon was named on this year's list alongside Pharrell Williams, Travis Scott, and A$AP Rocky. Hypebeast explained, "Throughout 2025, G-Dragon demonstrated cultural influence not only in music but also across art, fashion, and the luxury sector."
Hypebeast highlighted his release of the studio album "?bermensch," his world tour, and performances at international events, noting that his activities have expanded beyond music into the social and cultural spheres. The magazine also recognized his collaborations with fashion brands and fine art projects as examples of bridging pop culture and the luxury industry.
G-Dragon was the first K-pop artist to be selected for the "Hypebeast 100" in 2013, and has since been named to the list a total of nine times, including in 2015, 2016, 2017, and every year from 2021 to 2025.
Meanwhile, G-Dragon concluded his world tour with an encore performance in Seoul on December 14. The tour spanned 39 shows in 17 cities across 12 countries, attracting a total audience of approximately 825,000 people.
