G-Dragon Sparks Trend with Acupressure Slippers, Leading to Sold-Out Frenzy

Since the 2010s, G-Dragon has been at the forefront of trends, and now he has popularized acupressure slippers.

On the 4th, online platforms including X (formerly Twitter) were abuzz with interest in the acupressure slippers featured in G-Dragon's Instagram photo. The slippers, priced at approximately 12,000 KRW, were shared widely across platforms, leading to them selling out.

The acupressure slippers that caught the public's eye appeared in a behind-the-scenes photo from G-Dragon's 'POWER' performance video shoot. The slippers, designed in black with white and red nodules, are marketed as having benefits such as improving blood circulation, relieving fatigue, and reducing swelling.

Netizens reacted by saying, "G-Dragon is making acupressure slippers trendy," "I want them, they look so hip," and "I knew they'd sell out. I'm glad I bought them yesterday."
