G-Dragon's "Hannam Style" Caption Sparks Social Media Buzz
On September 1st, BIGBANG G-Dragon took to his official Instagram story to share a lighthearted selfie featuring none other than fellow singer Psy.
However, it was the accompanying caption that catapulted G-Dragon into the spotlight: "Oppa Hannam Style."
In his post, he playfully substituted "Hannam" for "Gangnam" in a nod to his current residence.
However, this innocent wordplay took an unexpected turn as it tapped into a contentious online discourse surrounding terms like 'Hannam' and 'Hannyeo,' used derogatorily for Korean men and women.
The ensuing controversy had fans and critics speculating about whether G-Dragon was aware of the loaded connotations or if it was a genuine oversight.
The online community wasted no time in offering their takes on the matter. Some questioned the artist's awareness, asking, "Did he really not know the meaning when he used them?"
Even among female communities, opinions varied from humorous disbelief to appreciative laughter, with some finding charm in his innocence.
G-Dragon, known for his financial acumen as the 'copyright chaebol,' possesses extravagant properties valued in the billions of won, underlining his influence beyond music.
As the 'Hannam Style' controversy rages on, the world awaits the next chapter in the journey of K-pop's iconic trailblazer, wondering whether it was a genuine slip or a calculated move to stay in the public eye.
