K-Pop king G-Dragon makes a powerful return, shaking both the music and fashion scenes! Two weeks ago, he released his new album “Übermensch,” with all lyrics and music composed by him. The music video (MV) for the single “Too Bad,” featuring American rapper Anderson .Paak, showcases a series of stylish and distinct looks, paired with various standout eyewear that has sparked plenty of attention and discussion. Here, we break down the eyewear choices of this fashion icon.
The most talked-about piece is the aviator optical glasses he wore with a gray collegiate-style outfit. These glasses come from the German handmade eyewear brand MYKITA, model “EERO.” Made from lightweight stainless steel, they feature a sleek and minimalist design that enhances the rugged elegance of the collegiate style. The screwless hinge is a signature feature of MYKITA, ensuring both design recognition and durability for long-term use.

As a long-time global ambassador for CHANEL, G-Dragon frequently incorporates various brand accessories into his looks. In the “Too Bad” MV, he wears a pair of square frame glasses from CHANEL, model CH3438, specifically paired with light yellow lenses that match perfectly with his bright yellow outfit and retro McDonald’s employee hat. G-Dragon has worn this CHANEL eyewear on various occasions, with the heart-shaped CC logo on the temples adding a playful and cute touch.

The eyewear that G-Dragon paired with his red bowknow outfit is likely the Thom Browne “TBS-015” aviator glasses, which he previously wore at the MaMa K-Pop Awards and received much discussion. The gold frame with a red top bar harmoniously complements his vibrant red ensemble. He specially upgraded the original gold lenses to gray-blue lenses, creating a new trend with this lighter lens choice.
