G-Dragon is gaining attention after he was spotted traveling on the KTX instead of using private transportation.
On July 20, photos reportedly shared through a social media account managed by someone close to the singer showed G-Dragon returning to Seoul after completing a schedule in Busan.
The BIGBANG member wore a green sleeveless top and comfortable clothing while sitting inside the train. Unlike his glamorous stage and event appearances, he showed a relaxed style and a makeup free face.
Another photo showed G-Dragon walking along the platform while wearing a hat and mask. Although most of his face was covered, fans said his distinctive fashion and presence were still easy to recognize.
The casual photos attracted attention because they showed a different side of G-Dragon shortly after his formal appearance at the opening ceremony of the 48th UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Busan on July 19.
At the official event, G-Dragon appeared in a white suit as an ambassador and helped promote the importance of protecting world heritage. The contrast between his polished event look and his simple KTX travel style became a topic online.
Fans commented, “You can still recognize a real celebrity even with a mask,” “His atmosphere is different even without makeup,” and “It is surprising to see a global star riding the KTX”.
G-Dragon is also preparing to meet fans through BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary world tour, “XX: COSMOS,” with Seoul concerts scheduled from August 21 to 23 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium.
