In the K-pop community, it’s common for fans to celebrate their favorite idol’s birthday with special café events featuring custom cup sleeves, photo displays, and themed decorations. Other fans can visit these cafés to join in the celebration, often purchasing drinks that come with the exclusive designs.
This year, ahead of his birthday on August 18, G-Dragon decided to return the love. The K-pop icon prepaid for a total of 2,632 drinks at designated cafés across Korea, allowing fans to enjoy them for free. The number comes from covering 188 drinks at each of 14 participating cafés, with "188" symbolizing FANPLUS ‘ONE’ + ‘88’ (a nod to his birth year, 1988).
The drinks will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis on August 18, letting fans not only celebrate his birthday but also enjoy a treat courtesy of G-Dragon himself.
It was announced, "On August 18, in celebration of our eternal artist G-Dragon’s birthday, we have prepared a small gift at the birthday cafés hosted by our FAM members to express our gratitude for your constant love and support."
Fans were moved by G-Dragon's gift to fans and are looking forward to the event.
