Birthday donation 24 million won!’ (approx. $23,604.00 USD) along with a picture of a donation certificate while Always-GD and Number-G also donated 8.18 million won (approx. 8045.00 USD) to Seungil Hope Foundation.

G-Dragon performed in AIA Real Life: NOW Festival 2014 along with the fellow Big Bang members and revealed, “We will try to release Big Bang’s album by this year.”
