On the 30th of last month, G-Dragon posted several selfies with no special captions on his personal SNS.
One of the seven photos stands out. It's a picture with the words "WELCOMES G-DRAGON" on an electronic billboard.
This is related to the rumors of G-Dragon joining Warner Music that were reported through foreign media on the 28th of last month. At that time, local media reported that G-Dragon had recently visited the Warner Music Records office in Los Angeles, California.
Warner Music Records is a famous American record label known as one of the top three major pop music groups worldwide.
Afterwards, on various online communities, a picture of an electronic billboard with the words 'WELCOME G-DRAGON' and a selfie of G-Dragon, presumed to be at the Warner Music Records headquarters, spread. 
Additionally, it was noticed that G-Dragon was included in the list of artists under Warner Music Groups on a popular search portal site. When you consider these pieces of evidence along with the fact that G-Dragon had 'liked' a social media post about this news, opinions arose suggesting that "G-Dragon has actually joined Warner Music." Therefore, G-Dragon's SNS photo is not much different from the official position that he has joined forces with Warner Music, as it matches the images of the Warner Music headquarters that were publicly shared on online communities.
In May of this year, there were rumors and speculations surrounding G-Dragon's affiliation with YG Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as 'YG'). This happened when G-Dragon's name was missing from YG's artist lineup for the March 2023 quarterly report, leading to rumors of the expiration of his exclusive contract with YG and his departure from Big Bang. His name had been listed as Kwon Ji-yong, his real name, until the latter half of last year, but it disappeared from the list just a few months later, fueling speculation that he had left YG.
Regarding this, YG stated to Star News at that time, "Currently, G-Dragon's exclusive contract has expired, and we are collaborating on other activities such as advertising through separate contracts. We plan to discuss additional agreements when he resumes music activities, and YG will spare no support for that." As October approaches and we enter the second half of 2023, there is still no news about the release of G-Dragon's solo album. 
However, if he decides on a new direction, plans for album release are expected to be decided soon. The anticipation is already high to see what G-Dragon's future endeavors will be and how he will bring joy to global K-pop fans.
