Big Bang’s G-Dragon uploaded an image and created excitement for his upcoming collaboration with virtual artist Wade.
The image read “Something BIG is Coming” with Wade spelled out using font art inspired by water. Wade is co-created by KB Lee, a creative consultant who has made his name in street fashion, and digital intellectual property company IPX.
The virtual influencer is themed as a mutant made of water, poised to make splash in music, fashion and art. Wade will join hands with GD’s own brand PeaceMinusOne, starting with Wade Friends ＆ Family that will be unveiled on Thursday.
In the meantime, the veteran idol and fashion fiend was spotted at an art event co-hosted by Chanel Korea and Frieze Seoul last week.
In July, he paid tribute to Elvis Presley with a take on the legend’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” in a video directed by Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. In April, Big Bang rolled out the single “Still Life,” its first full-group effort in about four years. AP/JB
