“Galaxy Corporation and artist G-Dragon signed an exclusive contract. Artist Kwon Ji Yong (G-Dragon’s real name) and Galaxy, who are not just a relationship of [an artist and] an agency but a relationship of partners and companions, will continue to take on challenges that have never been done and could not be done in the world. Moreover, in order to take a path that others have not taken, we will bridge each other’s gap and show not only the side that Kwon Ji Yong has shown so far but also the side that he has not shown before,” said the director of GD’s new agency, Jo Sung Hae, as per Soompi translation.

Thank you to everyone,” he said, as he wasn’t able to attend the press conference with his new agency due to a conflict of schedule.
