On the afternoon of the 23rd, the '2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards' event was held at the Haeoreum Theater of the National Theater in Jangchung-dong, Seoul. Now in its 16th year, the 'Popular Culture and Arts Awards' is the most prestigious government award in the field of popular culture and arts, established to enhance the social status and creative motivation of popular culture artists and to honor their contributions to the development of the popular culture and arts industry. Since April, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, together with the Korea Creative Commission, has conducted a public contest for awardees in the fields of broadcasting, music, film, and performance through its website. Afterwards, a judging committee composed of experts in related fields evaluated the length of service, degree of merit, and social contribution to select recipients and recipients. On this day, the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit was awarded to voice actor Bae Han-sung, comedian Jeon Yoo-sung, and singer G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong), who was especially notable for being the youngest recipient of the award. G-Dragon, who took the stage to receive the award, appeared nervous but greeted him by saying, "The youngest recipient, singer G-Dragon." He continued, "I've been taking a long break from my comeback, and in a week, it will be a year. If I remember correctly, it would have been around when I was six, and the first place I ever went was the audition hall, holding my mother's hand and leading me without knowing style. Since that day, I've been having the same dream ever since. In my teens, I dreamed of becoming a singer, so I achieved it; in my twenties, I received an award. In my thirties, I even received the Jade Crown Order of Cultural Merit, so my expectations for my forties are really high," he shared. ,,,As the youngest recipient, it's a bit uncomfortable to hear that someone in their forties expects something even bigger!! but there's absolutely no humility!! He said, "I happened to rush back from the restroom and ran over, so I'm out of breath. I prepared a lot, but now that it's actually coming up, I don't know what to say," he joked, saying, ,,,His confidence is really excessive!! Especially when he ended with, "Keep telling everyone. It's true that I'm the youngest this year, but I still have some free time now," he laughed,,,,, his arrogance is truly sky-high!!!!!!
