In the Korean entertainment industry, contract renewals are seen as a numbers game, with the star’s value evaluated solely by money. However, many stars have started to reject this outdated logic and are voluntarily “devaluing” themselves to fill the void with bonuses and job security for their staff.
In the case of BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, while numerous companies sent him huge offers, his actions went far beyond just money. He gifted his staff who worked with him for almost 20 years with something that was more than just simple compensation.
It was revealed that he arranged apartments worth millions of Korean won and living spaces for his manager and members of Team GD, his dedicated staff organization.
He also declared his intention to systematically guarantee the rights of trainees and the treatment of staff through his foundation, JUSPEACE.
His choice to define others not just as tools but as colleagues proves that trust between people is stronger than any contract recorded in numbers.
Netizens were amazed by his treatment of his staff and praised him for it.
