Fly like a G-Dragon

Big Bang leader and K-pop stylemeister G-Dragon came, smoldered and pulled off not one, but two feats beyond any K-popster's wildest dreams.

From FT Island's Jonghoon's interview in B-Pass Magazine:

Q: Who are your friends in the entertainment industry other than your members?

Jonghoon: Big Bang’s VI. Last year, we went together to Thailand for a vacation.

4-5 years yang lalu when I didn’t have any friend in showbiz, he was doing promotions for Big Bang and since we’re the same age, I asked him first, "Let’s be friends." At that time, VI also didn’t have many friends in tha entertainment world. He berkata he was really moved because I asked him first. After that, we hung out together, got along very well and...
