[메가경제=전창민 기자] G-Dragon’s iconic flower, ‘GD 818 BLOOM’ is also out of stock from the secondary sale, following the initial pre-order sellout.
At 10 AM on the 1st (KST), ‘GD 818 BLOOM’ launched the secondary sale on the AliExpress website, which sold out in just 19 minutes.
The Initial pre-order sellout of ‘GD 818 BLOOM’ in just three hours on September 21, World Peace Day, has gained worldwide attention
Though concerns over website overload were raised as buyers rushed to the website on the kickoff day, ‘GD 818 BLOOM’ solidified its status as a globally recognized collectible art by selling out in a short period of time.
An official from MTREINC in charge of the project said, “Following the initial pre-order sellout, we secured a portion of stocks originally allocated for the overseas market and launched the secondary sale, which also sold out quickly. We are currently developing plans to support domestic fans who couldn’t purchase ‘GD 818 BLOOM’, the item containing the G-Dragon’s peace message”
During the second pre-sale, a video of G-Dragon personally assembling the block was uploaded to social media, drawing significant attention. Furthermore, when the completed “GD 818 BLOOM,” which had long been kept under wraps, was finally unveiled, enthusiastic reactions poured in such as: “It’s so beautiful, I need to buy another one,” “The real thing looks amazing — I’m glad I purchased it,” and “It would look great even when displayed in multiples.”
Now, ‘GD 818 BLOOM’ is a special limited edition block set created using intellectual property from Peaceminusone, where G-DRAGON participated in the design. Its symbolic value and exclusivity are recognized by fans and collectors worldwide, supported by the artist’s signature and an authenticity certificate with a serial number.
Amid extensive coverage of ‘GD 818 BLOOM’ by major foreign media from the US, China, Japan, and more, famous influencers worldwide are posting requests for resales on social media, raising expectations.
Meanwhile, the pre-order sales of “GD 818 BLOOM” through AliExpress were made accessible to overseas customers, with Polaris AI participating as the global distribution and sales partner.
