G-Dragon to Donate $300,000 from World Tour Concerts for Wildfire Relief Efforts

K-pop star G-Dragon has announced that he will donate 300 million KRW (approximately $300,000) from the proceeds of his 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch]' concerts, scheduled for October 29 and 30 at Goyang Sports Complex, to aid recovery efforts for the recent large-scale wildfires in regions such as Gyeongsang and Ulsan.

G-Dragon emphasized that the concerts are made possible by the support of his fans, and he wishes to make this donation in collaboration with them. The relief funds will be used for the restoration of affected areas and to support those displaced by the fires.

Through his agency, Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon expressed, "I hope that a healing touch reaches all those who have lost their homes due to this unexpected disaster, and I sincerely wish for their recovery. I extend my deepest gratitude to the firefighters, emergency responders, and everyone working tirelessly at the disaster sites and in the affected areas."

G-Dragon has consistently engaged in meaningful philanthropic activities. The Just Peace Foundation, established with his participation, was founded on August 8, 2024, as a public interest foundation dedicated to promoting mental health and peace worldwide.

Continuing the spirit of support initiated by G-Dragon and his fans, the Just Peace Foundation, alongside Netflix's 'Physical: 100' Season 2 runner-up and former firefighter Hong Beom-seok, plans to assess the needs of firefighters and rescue workers involved in wildfire suppression and provide necessary support.
