G-DRAGON Sparks Debate After Unintentionally Revealing Nephew's Face; Family Love Takes Center Stage

G-DRAGON, who recently elevated K-pop's status before world leaders, has once again become the center of attention with an unexpected family story.

Actor Kim Min-jun shared the behind-the-scenes details of his son Eden's face being revealed on the recent broadcast of Channel A's 'Best Friends Documentary - 4-Person Table.' Kim Min-jun humorously recounted, "We, as a family, agreed to let our child decide for himself when he's older about showing his face, but my brother-in-law uploaded it first." He added, "When I asked him, 'Didn't we agree not to upload it?', he replied, 'I didn't hear about that.'"

This brother-in-law is none other than G-DRAGON. Known for his deep affection for his nephew, he has often shared photos on social media, a heartwarming gesture that has previously garnered attention from fans. However, after this remark aired, some netizens criticized, "If the parents didn't want it, he should have been more careful," and "Even family should be cautious about revealing a nephew's face."

Conversely, others defended him, stating, "G-DRAGON said he didn't hear about it, so it's just a simple happening," "It's excessive to try and tarnish his image over this," and "Let's not overanalyze private family matters."

The controversy gained even more attention as it arose shortly after G-DRAGON represented K-pop as an ambassador at the APEC Welcome Gala Dinner, performing before heads of state. His unique stage presence, incorporating a traditional Korean hat ('gat'), captivated the leaders, reminiscent of the group 'Sons of the Lion' from 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.'

Netizens commented, "Praise on the world stage, but nitpicking domestically," "Jiyong is someone who always treats his family with love," and "We should look at his sincerity rather than the issue," showing support for G-DRAGON.

G-DRAGON, an icon of K-pop and often called a 'nephew enthusiast,' continues to deeply resonate with fans through his sincere family love, even amidst unexpected controversies.

Some netizens pointed out that 'he should have been more careful if the parents didn't want it' and 'even family should be cautious.' However, others responded with 'it's just a simple happening' and 'excessive overanalysis.'
