SEOUL, Dec. 17 (Yonhap) -- G-Dragon has been named to the “2025 Hypebeast 100” (HB100), an annual list released by U.S. fashion and lifestyle magazine Hypebeast, for the ninth time overall, his agency Galaxy Corporation said on Wednesday.

The Hypebeast 100 is a yearly selection of 100 influential figures across the cultural spectrum, including fashion, streetwear, music, art and design.

G-Dragon was listed alongside global stars such as Pharrell Williams, Travis Scott and A$AP Rocky this year.

Hypebeast described G-Dragon as the “undisputed King of K-pop,” saying he further solidified his position as a cultural ambassador this year, citing the success of his latest album “Ubermensch” and his performance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju.

G-Dragon has been included in the Hypebeast 100 nine times since 2013.
