SBS’ weekly entertainment news program, “One Night of TV Entertainment,” (hereafter “One Night”) featured BIGBANG in one of its reports, aired on June 24, going over the reasons why BIGBANG is loved by so many.

Out of the many reasons, the fact that BIGBANG produces so many of their own songs was highlighted. Upon its research into the copyright records of the Korea Music Copyright Association, “One Night” found 23 songs recorded under Taeyang‘s name and 153 under G-Dragon.

Reporter Lee Da Won of MBN Star stated in her interview with “One Night” that G-Dragon ranked at number five for the top earners from royalties in 2012, earning 700,009,000 won (around 631,000 USD).

With G-Dragon only adding to his list of songs every year, one can only wonder how much he is currently raking in.

Harper’s Bazaar magazine has revealed photos from their photo shoot with BIGBANG’s G-Dragon through their official social media accounts. The July edition of the magazine aims to reflect the artist within the singer.

The star’s trademark peace logo is utilized as a background clock for the photo shoot as well. The resulting photo shows a harmony of peace (from the clock) and freedom (from G-Dragon).

In another photo, the artist shows a different, more serious side of himself. He can be seen looking contemplative and lost in his thoughts.

Recently, the singer shared his views on a variety of topics including BIGBANG, his future military service, culture, and arts during his appearance on “JTBC News Room.”
