G-Dragon, the leader of the renowned K-pop group BIGBANG, has been noticeably absent from the latest "YG Entertainment Quarterly Report."

Released on May 15th via the Electronic Disclosure System (DART), the report has captured attention due to G-Dragon's status as the group's leader following T.O.P's official departure.

According to YG Entertainment's "Quarterly Report (March 2023)," which details major contracts and research and development activities, the names of singers and actors contracted with the company as of March 31, 2023, are listed.

Despite being the only remaining member of BIGBANG still affiliated with YG Entertainment, G-Dragon's name was notably missing from the report.

This has led to speculation among music fans that G-Dragon may not be renewing his contract and could be parting ways with YG Entertainment.

Reports indicate that YG Entertainment and G-Dragon are currently in the process of coordinating the schedule for contract renewal.

At the beginning of this year, G-Dragon had made an announcement regarding his active promotional plans.

In a video released on YG Entertainment's official YouTube channel on January 1st, he stated, "I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I will be coming back this year with album preparations and various activities." This statement generated significant public interest and anticipation.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG recently celebrated their 18th anniversary since their debut on August 19, 2006, marking a significant milestone for the iconic group.

Member T.O.P had previously revealed his departure from BIGBANG through a personal social networking service on the last day of the previous month, leaving G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung as the remaining members of the group.

Another story proving Park Bo Gum’s sweet personality is warming hearts online.

On April 19, a behind-the-scenes story about the actor was shared by a space designer (called Mr. A) who worked on the Netflix drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. The video was uploaded to their YouTube channel, and it revealed how Park Bo Gum once helped hide a staff member’s mistake without anyone knowing.

Mr. A explained that while filming a scene involving Park Bo Gum’s character, Yang Gwan Shik, they accidentally left their iPad in the shot. Since the drama is a historical one, modern devices like an iPad shouldn’t be seen in any scene.

"Everything was so busy that day," Mr. A said. "I left my iPad next to Gwan Shik's jar without noticing, and we filmed like that. Even the director didn’t catch it and gave the OK."

But it was Park Bo Gum who noticed—and instead of pointing fingers, he quietly saved the moment.

"Gwan Shik suddenly told the director, 'I think my acting was a bit awkward, can we check the monitor one more time?'" Mr. A shared. "He said that just to protect me. He made it look like it was about his acting, not the iPad."

After the scene was checked and the mistake was caught, Park Bo Gum returned the iPad with a smile and said, "No one noticed, don’t worry," while giving a wink.

"Take responsibility for this, Park Bo Gum!" Mr. A joked, adding that three members of the art team saw everything and were touched by his kind gesture. "Two were men, and one of them was me. We still talk about it to this day."

When Life Gives You Tangerines follows the love story of Ae Sun, a bold girl from Jeju, and Gwan Shik, a man who stays loyal to her through all four seasons of life. Because it's set in the past, the appearance of an iPad would have been a big mistake—but thanks to Park Bo Gum, it never became an issue.

Fans are once again praising the actor for his humility and warm heart. Staff who worked on the drama have shared many similar stories, saying he was kind to everyone, both on and off the camera.
