Amidst swirling speculations, G-Dragon, the iconic South Korean artist, has quashed rumors of his imminent return to the Japanese music scene.
The denouncement came from Galaxy Corporation, the agency representing the illustrious performer, asserting that "nothing is confirmed" regarding his plans for activities in Japan.
Galaxy Corporation's Statement: Clarifying the Speculations
Galaxy Corporation, in an official statement to OSEN on the 3rd, clarified the ongoing rumors surrounding G-Dragon's potential comeback endeavors.
Contrary to reports circulating in the media, the agency affirmed that while G-Dragon is indeed gearing up for a comeback in the latter half of the year, it won't involve ventures into the Japanese market.
Establishing the Facts: Setting the Record Straight
On the same day, a media outlet had purported that G-Dragon would be gracing Japan with concerts and fan meetings later this year.
However, Galaxy Corporation was quick to dispel these claims, shedding light on the establishment of their Japanese branch last September.
They emphasized that this move was not solely in anticipation of G-Dragon's activities but rather part of their broader operational strategy.
Future Prospects: Keeping Options Open
Addressing the possibility of G-Dragon's foray into Japan, Galaxy Corporation exercised caution, stating, "It is true that we are planning a comeback in the second half of the year.
However, it's not limited to Japan." They hinted at the likelihood of including Japan in their itinerary once activities commence but refrained from confirming any specific plans for concerts or fan meetings in the country.
With regards to a potential world tour, Galaxy Corporation remained evasive, citing that while the prospect is under consideration, no concrete details have been finalized. This ambiguity extends to the timeline and the countries that might be included in such a tour.
A Shift in Alliances: G-Dragon's Transition
G-Dragon's departure from YG Entertainment, his musical home for 17 years, in December last year marked a significant juncture in his career.
Signing an exclusive contract with Galaxy Corporation, renowned as Korea's pioneering AI metaverse company, signaled a new chapter for the multifaceted artist. Currently, he is fervently preparing for his upcoming album, slated for release in the latter part of the year.
