A Timeline of Unfolding Events
Earlier in 2023, G-Dragon and YG Entertainment had teased fans with the G-Division project, signaling his comeback after a five-year hiatus since the EP "Kwon Jiyong."

Undeterred by the setbacks, G-Dragon diligently resumed work on his album, crafting it from scratch under his new label. Galaxy Corp. recently unveiled the long-term schedule for "Dragon," hinting at a comeback in the latter half of 2024, with considerations for a World Tour.
In recent news, the controversy surrounding G-Dragon's alleged relationship with a rumored trainee from THEBLACKLABEL resurfaced after leaked photos of prospective girl group members emerged.
Moon Seo Yoon, known as Annie Moon, attracted attention due to her affluent family background and close ties with YG Entertainment artists.
