G-Dragon and Cha Eun Woo’s behind-the-scenes moment at the APEC Summit has become the talk of the town.
On November 5th, G-Dragon’s official YouTube channel released a vlog titled “A Day in GD’s Life,” offering fans a rare glimpse into the global star’s preparations for his solo performance at the APEC summit.
At the start of the clip, G-Dragon reflects, “It’s been exactly one year since my comeback livestream last year—and now I’m standing on the APEC stage,” expressing his pride and gratitude. The video captures G-Dragon looking tense and nervous as he prepares to perform before world leaders.
Later, as he rehearses and fine-tunes his wardrobe with his longtime staff, he briefly tries on a pair of sunglasses before quickly taking them off when the team advises against it—a moment showing the trust and easy rapport built over years.
The highlight comes when he unexpectedly runs into Cha Eun Woo, who is currently serving in the military and had been recruited to host the event. As G-Dragon enters backstage, Cha Eun Woo greets him with a crisp military salute and a bright smile. G-Dragon, beaming with pride, responds with a warm embrace—a moment that instantly melted fans’ hearts.
On October 31st, G-Dragon took the stage at the APEC Summit welcome banquet in Gyeongju, captivating global leaders with a stunning ten-minute performance. The K-pop icon was the only artist invited to perform at the event, appearing in a custom outfit that fused a classic fedora with pearl chains inspired by Korea’s traditional gat—a look that drew comparisons to Kpop Demon Hunters‘ Saja Boys.
His electrifying performance received enthusiastic applause from world figures including President Lee Jae Myung, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Chilean Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren. Several dignitaries and aides were even seen filming the performance on their phones—a vivid testament to the global reach and power of K-pop.
