Kwon Ji-Yong (G-Dragon)
27, South Korea
Among the brightest K-pop stars is singer and rapper known as G-Dragon (yong is dragon in Korean). In an industry full of lookalike boy bands, he stands out for his songwriting abilities and his boundary-pushing fashion sense. That—and his two solo tours of Japan and elsewhere abroad—have earned him a loyal international following while his original style has made him a front-row fixture at Chanel shows worldwide.
