G-Dragon's 10 billion contract fee includes half in stock options, making him a major shareholder of the new company.

G-Dragon left YG Entertainment, where he had been for many years, to join Galaxy Corporation starting in 2023. This is a company that combines traditional entertainment with AI and metaverse themes. G-Dragon's signing bonus with Galaxy Corporation is as high as 20 billion KRW, but GD chose to invest in the new company with half in cash and half in stock options, reportedly holding about 2% of the shares. In the first half of 2025, the company achieved a revenue of 126 billion KRW and a net profit of about 13 billion KRW, with news of an upcoming IPO on the Korean stock market in the first half of next year.

G-Dragon was appointed as a visiting professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) last year, and Galaxy Corporation also signed an MOU with KAIST. CEO Choi Yong-ho (최용호) stated: “The future technology research center for Galaxy Corporation and KAIST will utilize AI to showcase unprecedented music technology, preparing for the debut of the AI Universe Concert at MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, USA.”

In addition to GD, Galaxy Corporation's artists also include “Running Man” host Kim Jong-kook and “Parasite” Best Actor Song Kang-ho.
