G-Dragon Nears Exclusive Deal with Galaxy Corporation Post-YG Era

G-Dragon, the renowned singer and cultural icon, is poised to embark on a new chapter in his career. Recent reports from the entertainment industry, dated December 5 KST, suggest that G-Dragon is nearing the completion of an exclusive contract with Galaxy Corporation. The company, known for its expertise in intellectual property management and content production, appears to be the next destination for G-Dragon following his departure from YG Entertainment.

An industry insider shared insights into the negotiations, stating, “I understand that G-Dragon has reached an agreement on the details of his exclusive contract with Galaxy.” It was also mentioned that an official announcement regarding this significant development is expected soon.

Galaxy Corporation, established on August 9, 2019, has a primary focus on IP development and licensing. Over the years, it has expanded its portfolio to include entertainment program production, talent management, and commerce, operating through various subsidiary ventures.

Industry experts predict that the collaboration between Galaxy and G-Dragon will considerably boost the company’s stature. G-Dragon’s immense brand value is anticipated to enhance Galaxy’s capabilities and could lead to the signing of other high-profile celebrities and the development of new idol groups.

G-Dragon’s longstanding relationship with YG Entertainment concluded in June. Following this, there were speculations in September about a potential alliance with Warner Music Group, sparked by an Instagram post featuring the Warner Records Group office’s electronic display board welcoming G-Dragon. On November 29 KST, G-Dragon formally ended his association with YG, removing the link to YG’s official website from his YouTube channel profile.

When approached for comments on the timing of the contract, Galaxy provided a measured response, stating, “There is nothing we can officially answer at the moment.” They added, “It is difficult for the company to provide further details presently, but we will communicate when the time comes to make an official announcement.” This development marks a significant moment in G-Dragon’s career, signaling new possibilities and collaborations in the ever-evolving K-pop landscape.
