The photos revealed an aircraft so meticulously customized it was instantly recognizable as G-Dragon’s, with his name, “Übermensch” tour branding, and his iconic daisy logo emblazoned throughout the design. The interior featured high-end finishes, further emphasizing the aircraft’s extravagant, artist-specific concept.
Jacob & Co reportedly custom-built the plane for G-Dragon’s U.S. tour, a rare honor even among A-list celebrities. Operating such a private jet costs millions of dollars, leading to an online debate not about luxury — but about climate responsibility.
“This is so tone-deaf in 2025,” one user wrote. “Taylor Swift got canceled for less. G-Dragon shouldn’t get a free pass,” another added. Others defended him:
- “He’s on a global tour. Let the man fly in peace.”
- “Every major star uses jets. Why target G-Dragon alone?”
The controversy closely mirrors the ongoing scrutiny faced by Taylor Swift, who was revealed to be among the top celebrity carbon emitters due to frequent and sometimes short-distance private flights. Critics argue that stars like G-Dragon, despite their fame, should lead by example when it comes to sustainable travel.
The private jet backlash raises ongoing concerns over how much accountability celebrities and luxury brands bear during a climate emergency. While fans are used to grand gestures from stars like G-Dragon, the increasing scrutiny around carbon emissions is reshaping how the public perceives celebrity privilege.
