In an expected move, YG Entertainment transfers all the rights to BIGBANG’s G-Dragon to their original creator, Kwon Ji Yong. The decision comes along with a surprising twist where YG gives the rights without charging any compensation. The generous move showcases YG's deep connection between G-Dragon and his stage persona, reflecting their respect for his enduring legacy.
