Shocking double celebration for G-Dragon: after receiving the Ok-gwan (Jade Crown) Order of Cultural Merit last year, his agency Galaxy Corporation has now been honored with a Presidential Commendation.
On the 19th, the global AI entertech company unveiled the official citation that reads, "Galaxy Corporation is hereby commended for its significant contribution to national and social development through the hosting of the 2025 APEC Summit."
Galaxy Corporation left a strong mark by securing G-Dragon's appointment as the official APEC promotional ambassador, being selected as an official summit sponsor, and standing out as the only entertech company invited to the welcome banquet.
As APEC's official promotional ambassador, G-Dragon delivered a special performance at the '2025 APEC Summit' welcome banquet that elevated the stature of Korean culture. Global leaders, including Chilean Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, were spotted pulling out their phones to record G-Dragon's stage in awe.
Galaxy Corporation stated, "It was an honor to take part in the APEC Summit in various capacities, showcasing the power of K-culture to the world and boosting South Korea's global influence," adding, "It was more than mere participation — it was a meaningful opportunity to demonstrate the strength of K-content."
Most recently, Galaxy Corporation also joined President Lee Jae-myung's economic delegation to China. Following its efforts in Gyeongju and now in China, the company plans to actively serve as a national bridge, using K-culture and AI entertech to help strengthen cooperation between countries.
