Singer G-Dragon boasted a close friendship with national soccer player Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min also showed affection by calling G-Dragon "hyung."
Recently, behind-the-scenes content of Kang Ho-dong meeting G-Dragon and Son Heung-min on the YouTube channel "HanaTV" was released. Earlier, Son Heung-min and G-Dragon had grants on "Knee Doctor," which Kang Ho-dong hosts.
Before Kang Ho-dong arrived, G-Dragon and Son Heung-min met first and were talking. G-Dragon, saying "I'm the generation that watched 'Knee Doctor,'" was amazed by appearing, and Son Heung-min agreed, saying, "Me too. Unless I was studying abroad, it was really during my student days."
When Kang Ho-dong appeared, all three showed delight. Kang Ho-dong mentioned that G-Dragon and Son Heung-min were already acquaintances and expressed curiosity, and G-Dragon explained, "We exchanged gifts of the heart. I wanted to give a limited-edition perfume, so I gave it, and Heung-min also always".
Son Heung-min also confirmed his friendship with G-Dragon, saying, "We exchange small gifts." When Kang Ho-dong asked G-Dragon whether he originally liked soccer, G-Dragon cleverly replied, "Rather than liking soccer, I like player Heung-min. I like captains."
Son Heung-min's affection for G-Dragon and BigBang was also special. When asked whether he liked BigBang, Son Heung-min said, "Is there anyone who doesn't like them? We talked a lot when we met," and picked "Power (PO￦ER)" as his favorite song. Kang Ho-dong said, "Actually I also listen to 'Power' every day and I really like the perfume," expressing envy between the two.
Especially notable was the friendship between Son Heung-min and G-Dragon. That day Kang Ho-dong, G-Dragon and Son Heung-min prepared gifts for each other and held a "lucky draw." They decided the order for choosing gifts by rock-paper-scissors, and during the process G-Dragon said he would throw "muk" but threw "scissors," making Kang Ho-dong the winner.
Then Son Heung-min snapped, laughing, "You said you would throw muk." G-Dragon replied, "I was going to lose on purpose," and declared he would throw "muk" again in a rematch with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min said, "Then I will throw jji," and in the end the winner was G-Dragon. Son Heung-min told G-Dragon of the victory, saying, "I guess I'm bad at psychological warfare. Hyung won."
Through the lucky draw, Son Heung-min gifted Kang Ho-dong a national team uniform, and Kang Ho-dong gave G-Dragon a happy tree potted plant. G-Dragon gave Son Heung-min a camping chair, and Son Heung-min expressed liking it, saying, "I set up a camping chair at home for each person." When G-Dragon said, "I also have one at home. Actually I don't go camping..," Son Heung-min said, "I also don't go camping, but I have a camping chair," showing his pleasure.
G-Dragon and Son Heung-min previously drew attention for their "world class" friendship when they were seen meeting at a restaurant in Seoul last March.
