G-Dragon Admits Nerves Ahead of APEC Stage; Surprised by Noh Hong-chul's Appearance

Global icon G-Dragon showed signs of nervousness as he prepared to take the stage at the APEC event.

A short video titled 'GD's Day,' uploaded on the YouTube channel 'OfficialGDRAGON' on the 5th, documented G-Dragon's journey from arriving at the APEC venue to stepping onto the stage.

"I'm returning via live broadcast for the first time in exactly a year to perform on the APEC stage," G-Dragon said as he headed backstage. While undergoing security checks at the event, Noh Hong-chul suddenly appeared, playfully offering assistance with the check.

Surprised by Noh Hong-chul's unexpected appearance, G-Dragon exclaimed, "Why are you here?" He then laughed, remarking, "I thought you were John Travolta."

As he began his stage preparations, G-Dragon confessed his anxiety, stating, "I might get flustered without realizing it," and "It feels a bit pressuring if our eyes meet."

He initially considered wearing a traditional Korean hat and sunglasses, but following his staff's advice, he removed the sunglasses before making his grand entrance.

Korean netizens commented, 'G-Dragon showing nervousness on a global stage makes him seem human and relatable,' 'The chemistry with Noh Hong-chul was hilarious,' and 'Looking forward to G-Dragon's performance at APEC.'
