Tips

memory
His stage name hides his given name: 志 is read 지 (ji) in Korean, which sounds like the letter G, and 龙 is 용 (yong), 'dragon'. G-Dragon is simply Ji-yong with its first syllable spelled as a letter.
usage
In Korea his name is written in hanja as 權志龍 (Gwon Jiyong). Chinese media use a Korean star's hanja whenever they are known and read them in Mandarin, and pick characters for the sound only when no hanja are known.
