G-Dragon says he can't use mobile banking, relies on wealth manager

K-pop sensation G-Dragon, also known as Taeyang, has disclosed in a recent interview that he does not utilize mobile banking services and instead entrusts his financial management to a dedicated wealth manager. This revelation surfaced during an appearance by the BIGBANG members on a web variety show titled "Pinggyego" on Saturday, in celebration of the group's 20th anniversary. The discussion during the segment revolved around the functionality of kiosks and mobile banking solutions.

Upon the topic of mobile banking being broached, G-Dragon candidly stated, "I cannot perform such tasks," causing a notable shift in the conversation. In response, co-host Yoo Jae-suk inquired, "What do you do with your assets if you cannot manage them via mobile banking?" Haha, one of the show's panelists, then added humorously, "What do you do with all that money?" eliciting laughter from the audience. G-Dragon diplomatically explained, "For asset management, I have a professional who handles everything on my behalf."

Further elaborating on his banking preferences, G-Dragon mentioned that while it is feasible to conduct banking activities in person, simply by visiting a branch and interacting with a bank representative, he encounters difficulties when attempting to execute these transactions through mobile platforms. Daesung, another member of BIGBANG, concurred with G-Dragon's sentiments, expressing that he finds it most convenient to establish direct communication with bank employees.

Whether through in-person visits or telephone conversations, Daesung emphasized his preference for engaging directly with customer service representatives to handle his banking matters.
