G-Dragon confesses he wore headscarves to hide his insecurities

BIGBANG’s fashion icon G-Dragon, celebrated worldwide for his daring style and trendsetting influence, has revealed the emotional story behind one of his most iconic looks - the headscarf. For years, fans admired his chic scarves and bandanas, often associating them with his unmatched sense of style. But in a heartfelt revelation, G-Dragon admitted there was a much deeper and more vulnerable reason behind this fashion choice.

In a pre-release of a special episode celebrating BIGBANG’s 19th anniversary, uploaded by Zip Daesung on August 19, G-Dragon opened up alongside fellow members Daesung and Taeyang. Reflecting on his past, the star admitted that the accessory was not always about fashion.

During the candid talk, he recalled the era when his track POWER was released. Looking at an old photo, he shared, “This looks like me… during ‘POWER’ promotions, but it’s been a while since I’ve worn a scarf or bandana.” He then confessed, “I wore them back then to cover my weight.” The singer explained that he felt insecure about having more face fat during that time and used scarves as a way to hide those insecurities.

For fans who had always perceived G-Dragon as the epitome of confidence, this admission was both surprising and touching. It shed light on the fact that even global icons, admired for their style and artistry, are not immune to moments of self-doubt. Many fans praised his courage in sharing such a personal truth.

G-Dragon’s confession serves as a powerful reminder that behind the glamour and spotlight of K-pop stardom, idols often face personal struggles and insecurities. Yet, by overcoming them and showing vulnerability, stars like him continue to shine even brighter—proving that true strength often comes from honesty.
