G-Dragon
is sailing through success and how! His popularity is only increasing by the day and there’s no stopping at all. In 2016, G-Dragon fans gifted him a forest bearing his real name, Kwon Ji-yong and now the popular idol has a ship named after him.
Fans might as well chant ‘Aye Aye Captain!’, as a
container ship
has been christened G-Dragon. According to allkpop, the impressive vessel in question was constructed in China and stretches 172 meters in length and carries a substantial gross tonnage of 18,680 metric tons.
Presently cruising through Southeast Asian waters, its voyage extends from Vietnam to the Philippines.
Although the owner’s identity remains undisclosed, one thing is evident: a profound admiration for the
K-Pop icon
is reflected in the name of this multimillion-dollar ship. Fans expressed surprise and amazement on social media as pictures of the container hit the internet. While fans rejoice over this unique tribute, they are also eagerly anticipating G-Dragon’s
musical comeback
, longing for new tracks from the influential artist.
Last year, G-Dragon had launched an anti-drug foundation that will focus on ‘activities for drug eradication and the treatment of addicted youth’. The charity was named JUSPEACE, as a combination of the words “justice” and “peace.” The k-pop icon made a donation worth ₩300 million KRW (about $231,000 USD).
