Billboard: G-Dragon Topping Charts Again & Coming to the U.S.A this Summer

G-Dragon Tops World Albums Chart for 2nd Week to Nearly Double Total U.S. Sales

The achievement makes him the first solo K-pop act to have an album rule the chart for multiple weeks.

While G-Dragon’s debut record sales last week were already something to gawk at — achieving his best U.S. sales week in just one day — the BIG BANG icon continues to set more impressive chart feats with his recently released EP.

For the second week in a row, G-Dragon’s Kwon Ji Yong rules Billboard’s World Albums chart with an additional 3,000 copies sold for the week ending June 15, according to Nielsen Music. That pushes the EP’s cumulative total for the two weeks to just over 7,000 copies. The achievement makes him the first solo K-pop artist and second K-pop act overall to have an album spend multiple weeks at No. 1 on the chart.

So far, only BTS has logged multiple weeks atop World Albums among K-pop acts. The boy band’s 2015 release The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2 returned to the summit on the chart dated January 16, 2016 and stayed there an additional two weeks. BTS’ Wings album also spent two weeks atop World Albums starting last October. Both BTS and G-Dragon have three No. 1s on World Albums.

Elsewhere on the charts, GD sees more action on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart as lead single “Untitled, 2014” rises to a new peak at No. 4 (up from No. 14 last week) and the track “Bullsh*t” debuts at No. 10.

Must-See K-Pop Acts Performing Stateside This Summer: G-Dragon, Highlight, Twice & More

With the east coast leg of KCON USA 2017 kicking off in New Jersey this Friday, K-pop’s 2017 summer invasion is about to begin. This year has already seen many Korean acts come stateside, but by the end of August, there will be more than another dozen musicians to add to the roster, making the summer of 2017 one of the best that K-pop has ever seen in North America.

There are few K-pop stars as renowned as BIG BANG’s frontman. An icon in his own right, both as a musician and a fashionista, G-Dragon recently made headlines for releasing his latest EP, Kwon Ji Yong, via links distributed on USBs, rather than a more traditional physical album. GD will bring his Act III, M.O.T.T.E world tour to seven cities in the States, before heading to Toronto for one Canadian stop.

Taeyang to Launch Capsule Collection with Fendi

From WWD:

Fendi to Launch Capsule Collection With K-pop Star TaeYang

Fendi joined forces with K-pop star TaeYang to launch a special capsule collection named “Fendi for TaeYang.”

Designer Silvia Venturini Fendi and the label’s Men’s Studio collaborated with the South Korean singer to conceive a lineup of jackets, hoodies, T-shirts and accessories revisiting the brand’s fall collection with the artist’s signature elements, as daisy-shaped motifs.

Messages and key words, as “Faith,” “Grace,” “Saved” and “Passion,” are introduced on black shearling jackets and on bombers with rubberized detailing, in addition to black oversized T-shirts showcasing both the slogans in white and daisy details.

Accessories include pouches, backpacks, sneakers and key charms. Pouches are available in two color options, red and black, made of shearling and calfskin, respectively. On a face they feature a word, on the other the Fendi logo rendered in the same font and TaeYang’s favorite flower.

Two styles of backpacks, one in shearling and the other in sturdy calfskin, features the same elements on the front pocket, embellished with intarsia daisies or the “Faith” moniker in yellow. Both models are completed with zip pullers embossed with the singer’s signature “Young Bae” motto.

The artist’s slogan also appears on the rubber key chains and is embossed on the rubber heel patches of the sneakers, offered in total-black and total-white options.

The Fendi for TaeYang capsule collection will debut in Hong Kong on July 27 with prices ranging from 400 euros for the key chains to 8,500 euros for the shearling jackets. The same day Fendi will also celebrate the reopening of its men’s flagship at Landmark department store.

The capsule collection will also be available for pre-orders on the label’s official web site starting from July.
