By Chung Hyun-chae
Iconic K-pop star G-Dragon was awarded the top prize at the “2013 Style Icon Awards” (2013 SIA) which was held at CJ E&M Center located in Sangam-dong, Seoul, on Oct 24.
G-Dragon, 25, became the youngest person to take the honor of being the “style icon” of the year.
The leader of Big Bang is an undisputed fashionista who wore a gray-color suit and sported pink-dyed hair at the award ceremony.
“G-Dragon, who is praised as a great musician by his flamboyant performance on stage, is credited this time with a unique fashion style to which young people aspire,” said CJ E&M, the host of SIA.
“I usually like to be called a style icon and feel great to receive such an award. I’ll make greater efforts to present better stages,” said G-Dragon in his acceptance speech.
Besides the Grand Prize, six special awards were given to Crayon Pop, A$AP Rocky, producer Na Young-seok, designer Chung Uk-jun, singer Clara, Choi Jin-hyeok and Soo Young.
