"Enough already"… g‑dragon's sister's remarks revisited, drawing a line against excessive interpretations of the family
Singer G‑Dragon (Kwon Ji‑yong) has come under unexpected debate over his sharing of a photo of his nephew, and his sister Kwon Da‑mi's remarks at the time of past controversies involving her brother have drawn renewed attention.
In 2023, when G‑Dragon was being investigated by police on allegations of drug use, Kwon Da‑mi wrote on her social media, "I really held back and held back and now I'm furious. Enough already, really. They're writing an absolute novel," showing her anger. She posted G‑Dragon's song "Gossip Man" as background music, expressing displeasure at rumors that were not true.
Later, G‑Dragon's legal representative also strongly denied reports, saying "full‑body hair removal is false reporting," and "Kwon Ji‑yong normally had hair removal done and had no intent to destroy evidence." At the time they said, "his reputation was seriously damaged by unconfirmed speculative reports," and the controversy subsided for the time being.
After being cleared of the charges, G‑Dragon signed an exclusive contract with Galaxy Corporation and resumed full‑scale activities, and his 2024 comeback was a huge success. Especially in 2025, it could be called his year: after serving as an official promotional ambassador for the Asia‑Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), he performed at the welcome banquet for the 2025 APEC leaders' meeting held Oct. 31 at the Lahan Select Hotel Grand Ballroom in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang, showcasing the prestige of Korean culture.
In addition, G‑Dragon, who had been on a winning streak, recently received the Okgwan cultural medal at the 2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards held at the National Theater Haeurum Theater in Jangchung‑dong, Seoul.
But interpretations about the family resurfaced after actor Kim Min‑jun revealed on Channel A's "Close Friends Tokumentary—Table for Four" that he had revealed his nephew Eden's face, touching off renewed attention.
On the show, Kim Min‑jun laughed as he recounted the incident, saying, "We agreed we'd reveal the child's face once he became more discerning, but my brother‑in‑law (G‑Dragon) posted it first," but some internet users reacted heatedly, saying "they should have been more cautious" and "family agreement was broken." On the show Kim Min‑jun said, "my brother‑in‑law said he didn't hear," indicating there was a communication problem with the family, and he later laughed it off and talked about it lightheartedly.
But when an unexpected debate suddenly erupted online, netizens instead said, "Kwon Da‑mi's past words, 'Enough already,' are exactly right for this situation," and urged, "Don't overinterpret something families can resolve among themselves." Netizens offered heartfelt support, saying, "It's nice to see a family that respects each other and turns misunderstandings into laughter," and "Don't inflict unnecessary hurt on G‑Dragon's family."
