KUALA LUMPUR: G-Dragon's first single in seven years, Power which debuted on Oct 31 has been praised for its support for Palestine.
Allkpop reported yesterday that his agency Galaxy Corporation released the K-pop icon's song in partnership with Palestinian-owned independent label Empire.
Empire is owned by Ghazi Shami, a Palestinian entrepreneur who has been consistently vocal about the ongoing brutal assault on Palestinian lives by Israel.
Many K-pop fans have been consistent in criticising Zionism and supporting the Palestinian cause.
As a result, G-Dragon's move to sign with Empire has been widely applauded.
Many K-pop fans have praised G-Dragon's decision to share his platform with such a Palestinian business owner in solidarity with the long-suffering Palestinian people.
K-pop fans had earlier celebrated a "small win" when BTS leader RM's upcoming documentary RM: Right People, Wrong Place skipped Israel for screening.
