The digital auction platform JOOPITER, founded by pop star Pharrell Williams, held an auction titled “Nothing But a G Thang: The Art & Archive of G-Dragon” from September 2nd to 10th.
G-Dragon offered various fashion items, contemporary art pieces, design objects, and memorabilia that he had collected over the years for auction. The highest bid went to a multicolor fur coat from fashion brand Saga Furs. G-Dragon wore the coat during his solo rap performance at the 2014 MAMA Awards in December 2014 and during BIGBANG’s 2015 “MADE” tour.
On September 9th, a day before the auction closed, the bid for the fur coat was at $12,000, but within 10 minutes, the price surged to $81,000. Ultimately, the coat sold for $125,000 (approx. 167 Million Korean won) on September 10th.
Additionally, a director’s chair with G-Dragon’s real name “Kwon Ji-yong” engraved on it, used during his 2017 “Act III: M.O.T.T.E” world tour, was sold for $51,250. A Chanel belt from the 2010 spring/summer collection, which G-Dragon personalized with the message “Kim Chaos Loves GD!”, was sold for $31,250.
