G-Dragon is facing backlash after liking multiple Instagram Reels featuring Donald Trump. The controversy erupted on September 26 when a post on X shared screenshots showing G-Dragon’s likes on three Reels that praise Trump.
The posts include content that highlights Trump outside of politics, one even showcasing his son, Baron Trump. As of now, two of these likes can still be seen on G-Dragon’s personal account.
Critics have expressed their shock on social media.

Many fans are discontented, indicating that this gesture implies support for Trump’s controversial history, which includes accusations of racism and sexual misconduct.
“I’m not an American, but supporting Trump is not a normal thing to do,” tweeted one user.
Responses vary, with some fans accusing others of taking the situation out of context.
“armys on here purposely taking things out of context to try make G-Dragon look like a Trump supporter out of all people,” said one fan.
Others expressed disappointment but claimed they weren’t surprised, referencing past instances of G-Dragon liking content related to Kanye West.
“Disappointed but not surprised… he was liking Kanye posts too,” remarked a user.
The situation has escalated quickly, with fans and critics alike monitoring the unfolding drama. As of now, G-Dragon has not publicly responded to the backlash.
