SEOUL, December 17 (AJP) - K-pop singer G-Dragon has been included in American fashion and lifestyle magazine Hypebeast's year-end list of influential figures in a diverse mix of contemporary culture, fashion, music and sports for this year.
The annual list of "Hypebeast100" recognizes "leaders in fashion - designers, artists, creative directors and entrepreneurs from all cultural and vocational backgrounds - who have taken up the mantle to challenge and define the future of the art form and its echoes into innovation, artistry and sustainability."
Calling him the "king of K-pop" as well as a "cultural trailblazer," the magazine said, "His vast archives of rare fashion collectibles, contemporary art, design objects and memorabilia included his own works and custom apparel and footwear pieces."
First included in the list in 2013, the flamboyant star has made it onto the list almost every year.
This year's list also features several other South Koreans including Lim Dong-joon, a designer for Post Archive Faction (PAF), one of the most sought-after streetwear labels; K-pop girl band BLACKPINK's Jennie; and multi-talented designer, DJ, and producer Peggy Gou.
