What is so special about G-Dragon's daisy without petals that makes young people crazy?

(Dan Tri) - In recent days, the chrysanthemum symbol associated with G-Dragon has even become a prominent trend on Vietnamese social networks.

Returning to Vietnam after 13 years, G-Dragon quickly attracted special attention from the fan community. The Korean male idol will perform at My Dinh National Stadium ( Hanoi ) on June 21.

On social media platforms, many fans have created personal works based on the symbol of a daisy without petals to express their affection for G-Dragon on the occasion of his visit to Vietnam.

Not stopping there, a number of major brands also quickly caught up with the trend by launching a series of exclusive products inspired by the male artist's signature symbol, creating massive promotional campaigns.

What is the symbol of a daisy without petals?

The petalless daisy (also known as PMO Daisy or G-Daisy) is the signature symbol of the fashion brand Peaceminusone, founded by G-Dragon in 2016.

This symbol was first introduced by G-Dragon on the cover of the album Coup d'Etat in 2013, but it was not until the exhibition Peaceminusone: Beyond the Stage in 2015 at the Seoul Museum of Art (Korea) that it was truly defined as his "personal mark".

The missing petal is at the 8 o'clock position, symbolizing the artist's date of birth, August 18, 1988. The number 8 is considered a lucky number in Korean culture and many Asian countries.

G-Dragon is associated with the number 3 8, so the detail of "missing petal at the 8 o'clock position" becomes a deliberate highlight. This symbol represents the combination of ideal and reality, reflecting the philosophy of the Peaceminusone brand.

PMO Daisy not only appears in fashion products of the Peaceminusone brand, but also spreads strongly on social networks, especially in campaigns supporting G-Dragon's recent performance in Vietnam.

The image of the imperfect but meaningful daisy has become a symbol of individuality, difference and breaking the mold. This is also the spirit that G-Dragon himself always pursues in music and fashion.

The PMO Daisy symbol is also used in G-Dragon's official products. In March, the singer released a new lightstick design in the shape of a daisy without petals, along with a flower pot, creating a unique product that is loved by fans.

"Trump card" makes a series of international brands sell out

Just a missing petal at the 8 o'clock position, G-Dragon's signature chrysanthemum symbol has become a "trump card" that makes many big and small brands not hesitate to spend large sums of money to cooperate and use the exclusive image.

From high fashion, sneakers, eyewear to jewelry, expensive watches, the image of a flower with missing petals has gone beyond the boundaries of a personal logo, becoming a global cultural symbol of young people.

Peaceminusone - the brand founded by G-Dragon - once took the market by storm when it teamed up with Nike to launch the Air Force 1 "Para-Noise" line. Within minutes of going on sale, the entire product was sold out in more than 40 countries.

The first version launched in 2019 with 3 variations including white swoosh (global release), red (exclusive to the Korean market) and yellow (limited edition for close friends only).

The product quickly sold out in just a few minutes in many countries and was resold for up to 10 million won (nearly 194 million VND). In China, this shoe model sold out in 0.06 seconds, in the US and Canada it took only 5 minutes and in the UK it took 2 minutes.

In particular, the limited edition shoe with the gold swoosh, with only 88 pairs worldwide, has been resold for up to 21,000 USD (about 487 million VND).

Not stopping at Nike, the "Kpop king" continues to expand its influence by collaborating with Italian designer Giuseppe Zanotti on a collection of innovative shoes, and joining hands with Ambush to launch a unique denim capsule line.

In 2016, the male artist continued to collaborate with Verbal and Yoon Ahn's fashion brand Ambush to launch a "denim capsule" collection, showing the combination of street style and high fashion.

Even leading fashion magazine Vogue is not left out. In 2017, the two sides collaborated to organize a pop-up (temporary store) in Seoul (South Korea) and sell limited products of Peaceminusone x Vogue.

That same year, the brand Peaceminusone also collaborated with French retailer Colette to launch a limited collection, sold on G-Dragon's online store.

In the jewelry industry, the chrysanthemum symbol continues to affirm its appeal when it appeared in a collaborative collection with the Chow Tai Fook brand - one of the famous manufacturers in Asia - in 2014.

Recently, the brand Gentle Monster designed special glasses for G-Dragon's musical comeback (Photo: Gentle Monster).

Not simply a brand identity element, the daisy also represents G-Dragon's artistic personality and life philosophy: a blend of ideals and reality, beauty and imperfection.

That's why the daisy symbol without petals at the 8 o'clock position has not only "sold out" on exclusive product lines, but also created a cultural trend with a strong personal mark around the world.
