G-Dragon's 'blackface' IG photo draws controversy
By JONATHAN HICAP, Manila Bulletin Big Bang's leader G-Dragon has courted controversy over his Instagram photo that showed him wearing black face paint and a hoodie that resembled the image of teen Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed in Florida last year. Spin.com said, "But this time G-Dragon might have gone too far. As with Frank Ocean, Diddy, the-Dream, and others after news of Martin's shooting death broke last year, the K-pop idol wears what looks like a hoodie (though may be a T-shirt pulled up over his head), in apparent tribute to Martin. But he's also wearing black face paint." G-Dragon's controversial photo (left) (Photos courtesy of G-Dragon's Instagram and www.newsen.com)
