DATUK Seri Anwar Ibrahim\u2019s light-hearted social media post about G-Dragon\u2019s performance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders\u2019 dinner last night in Gyeongju has captured the hearts of many Malaysian fans of the K-pop star.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the prime minister shared a 36-second clip of G-Dragon performing his song \u201cDrama\u201d on his official X, Instagram, and Facebook accounts.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany K-pop fans in Malaysia asked me to share G-Dragon\u2019s performance tonight. So I\u2019m sharing a short clip of his performance so that I don\u2019t disappoint the fans,\u201d he wrote in his post on X as reported by Bernama.<\/p>\n
Since being uploaded seven hours ago, the video has garnered 520,000 views, 7,815 likes, 3,674 reposts, and 1,105 quotes. Adding to the amusement, some of G-Dragon\u2019s fans –\u00a0known as \u201cVIPs\u201d –\u00a0cheekily asked Anwar to \u201cwhisper\u201d to the K-pop icon to hold a BigBang reunion concert in Malaysia next year to mark the group\u2019s 20th anniversary –\u00a0not just for one day, but for three consecutive days.<\/p>\n
At the APEC Leaders\u2019 dinner event, G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-Yong and who also serves as an APEC ambassador, performed another song titled \u201cPower.\u201d<\/p>\n
Besides G-Dragon\u2019s performance, the APEC leaders were also treated to a cultural showcase, including a traditional flute performance by Kim Ki-yeop, which transported the audience \u201cback\u201d to the ancient city of Gyeongju.<\/p>\n
The city, once the capital of the Silla Kingdom that ruled most of the Korean Peninsula for nearly a thousand years, is known as South Korea\u2019s fifth-largest city and often called a \u201cmuseum without walls.\u201d<\/p>\n
This historically rich city, home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites, was chosen as the host venue for this year\u2019s APEC Economic Leaders\u2019 Meeting (AELM), which began yesterday. \u2013 November 1, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DATUK Seri Anwar Ibrahim\u2019s light-hearted social media post about G-Dragon\u2019s performance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156786,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[91478,85694,2362,18,117,91479,19,17,337,91480],"class_list":{"0":"post-156785","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-anwar","9":"tag-apec","10":"tag-dinner","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-g-dragon","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-music","17":"tag-pop-concert"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115473513532845191","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
