[OSEN=지민경 기자] BIGBANG’s G-DRAGON will open a new ‘GD Café’ and bowling alley in Jeju Island.

On the ‘GD Café’ and bowling alley which will open on February and March, G-DRAGON participated in the design, planning, and interior from the early construction stage, adding more meaning to both business locations.

‘GD Café’ is an architecture built with inspiration from the logo of the fashion brand, ‘PEACEMINUSONE”.

Likewise, the bowling alley which will also serve as a lounge pub, was created with G-DRAGON’s idea that Jeju Island lacks in leisure space where families can enjoy their time.

‘GD Café’ and the new bowling alley has been under construction for about a year, and is currently at the interior completion stage. G-DRAGON is currently staying in Jeju Island, displaying his affections on the new places of business by exhibiting his personal art collections and even drawing on the interior himself.

People are expecting a synergy effect between G-DRAGON and Jeju Shinhwa World, one of North East Asia’s largest integrated resort located in Jeju Island.

Meanwhile, YG Entertainment stated, ‘Monsant Aewol’ which was known as ‘Old GD Café’ has been disposed and closed at the end of last year, and is currently operated by a different owner under a different name”.

They added, “The ‘chandelier damage’ incident which became an issue online is not related to G-DRAGON. G-DRAGON’s personal art collection exhibited on the café were pulled out of the store long ago when he sold the café”.

‘G-Dragon Cafe’ and the bowling alley, each scheduled to open in February and March, are even more meaningful because G-Dragon took part in designing and planning them from the beginning.

The design of ‘G-Dragon Cafe’ was inspired by the logo of G-Dragon’s fashion brand PEACEMINUSONE. The bowling alley equipped with a lounge pub comes as a result of G-Dragon’s idea that Jeju Island lacks leisure facilities all family members can enjoy.

After a year of steady progress, both the cafe and the bowling alley are now in the final stage of interior design. G-Dragon has been staying in Jeju Island, installing his personal collections and painting pictures for the interior design.

G-Dragon’s agency YG Entertainment stated that Mônsant De Aewol, known as the former ‘G-Dragon Cafe,’ had been sold at the end of last year. The cafe now owned by another individual under a different name no longer has anything to do with G-Dragon, according to YG Entertainment.

The agency added, “The ‘chandelier damage’ incident that caused an online sensation is completely irrelevant to G-Dragon. This is because personal collections that G-Dragon had installed were removed a long time ago as they were wrapping up the business.”

The ‘chandelier damage’ incident refers to the controversy that broke out when a customer at Mônsant De Aewol accidentally damaged the chandelier reported to be worth 300 million won (approximately $283,400). The customer appeared to be unashamed of the accident and accused G-Dragon of placing the chandelier in a wrong position, even though G-Dragon only asked her to pay the repair work cost, saying he would pay for the rest. The post gained attention online and was deleted after several people criticized the writer for the problematic attitude.
