BIGBANG leader and global icon G-Dragon has officially been awarded the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit, making him the youngest honoree in history. The recognition celebrates his groundbreaking influence on K-pop and his pivotal role in spreading the Korean Wave (Hallyu) across the world.
Stray Kids and Le Sserafim will headline the Oct. 1 launch of South Korea’s Presidential Pop Culture Committee — a bold new initiative to solidify Korea’s cultural leadership on the global stage. The committee, co-chaired by JYP founder Jin-young Park, will serve as a public–private cultural powerhouse under President Lee Jae-myung's administration.
