G-Dragon Reveals the Full Story Behind the Incident at Chanel Fashion Show

On October 30, tvN’s variety show “You Quiz on the Block” uploaded a video titled, “Today’s the Day! The Complete Unveiling of Everything About GD,” where G-Dragon recounted the memorable experience.

In the video, G-Dragon recalled the moment when Jo Se-ho urgently called out to him at a fashion show for a luxury brand. Back in 2017, G-Dragon attended a Chanel fashion show in Paris, which was crowded with attendees. Amidst the crowd, Jo Se-ho loudly called out “Jiyong-ah!” (G-Dragon’s real name), which drew attention as G-Dragon responded warmly with a smile.

Yoo Jae-suk humorously commented, “People around you were surprised, right?” Jo Se-ho then joked, “Yeah, some foreigners asked me, ‘Who are you?’”

For the first time, G-Dragon gave a behind-the-scenes look at the incident, saying, “I thought, ‘This is my moment to greet people. I’m supposed to be here,’” and added, “But it happened so fast, almost as soon as the doors opened. As soon as I arrived, I heard ‘Jiyong-ah, Jiyong-ah!’” reenacting the situation and bringing laughter to the set.

Jo Se-ho explained, “I was learning to take photos in France. The mission was to photograph celebrities walking the red carpet. After I took a picture of Ji-yong, people around me started asking, “Who are you to know G-Dragon?”

G-Dragon responded, “Back then, there weren’t many male ambassadors. So when I first attended, I was thinking about the concept and getting out of the car. I was about to take off my sunglasses and walk towards the photo line, but as soon as the door opened, he yelled “Ji-ji-ji-ji-yong-ah!” practically lying down. In Paris, he called me “Ji-yong-ah,” but he doesn’t really do it here in Korea.”

Yoo Jae-seok asked, “I heard there are limited-edition items that even G-Dragon can’t get,” to which G-Dragon replied, “They’re all bought by Se-ho hyung,” drawing laughter.

G-Dragon explained, “The clothes are very expensive and don’t come in many sizes. But when I put them on hold, and the next day, Hyung Se-ho was wearing them.” Jo Se-ho then said, “I got the courage to buy because I like them.”
