How to place a G-DRAGON fan ad (2026 Edition): Easy application with Oshi-Ad

What is a support advertisement for G-DRAGON?

G-DRAGON (지드래곤), real name Kwon Ji-yong (權志龍), born August 18, 1988, is an artist from Seoul, South Korea. As the leader and main rapper of BIGBANG, he boasts global recognition, and as a solo artist, he has released numerous hit works, earning him the title "Emperor of K-POP." In 2025, he will embark on his first world tour in approximately 8 years with his solo album "ÜBERMENSCH," with Japanese performances selling out instantly. The announcement of a Japan fan meeting in 2026 has further intensified fan excitement in Japan to an unprecedented level.

One way to fully support G-DRAGON is through "support advertisements." In Korea, these are also known as "Saengil advertisements" (생일 광고), and originally, this culture spread as a way to post congratulatory messages on digital signage on the streets and station billboards to coincide with an artist's birthday. In recent years, it has rapidly gained popularity among fans in Japan as well.

Types of Support Advertisements and Estimated Costs

Digital Signage (Main Focus, Shortest Lead Time)

This medium displays videos or still images on digital monitors in train stations, commercial facilities, and entertainment districts. It is the core of the media handled by Oshi-Ad, and individuals can apply starting from approximately 30,000 yen. The short lead time makes it easy to adjust schedules to coincide with live concert dates or an artist's birthday.

Outdoor Billboards / Large Vision Screens

These are large outdoor monitors installed in terminal areas such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Harajuku. Their large scale of exposure is a strength, easily catching the attention of passersby.

Ad Trucks

These are mobile advertisements where trucks equipped with large monitors circulate around Tokyo. By driving them around concert venues, the advertisement can reach all fans gathered there.

How to Place a Support Advertisement

Step 1: Determine Your Goal and Budget

First, clarify "when, where, and for what purpose" you will place the advertisement. For G-DRAGON, advertisements timed with his birthday (August 18), live tour dates, or album release anniversaries have a high potential for social media virality. For individuals, budgets can start from around 30,000 yen, and for crowdfunding by multiple fans, a scale of 100,000 yen or more is possible.

Step 2: Choose Your Media and Placement Location

If you want "as many people as possible to see it," digital signage or large vision screens are suitable. If you want to "get excited with fellow fans on the day of the concert," ad trucks or media around the venue are better. Areas like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Harajuku, where many G-DRAGON fans are concentrated, are particularly high-profile locations.

Step 3: Prepare Creative and Apply

Prepare the photos and text you will use. For G-DRAGON, it is necessary to check the rules set by YG Entertainment beforehand. Once the creative is ready, apply through the service website. Oshi-Ad can handle everything from filling out the application form to placement in as little as one week, and also provides support for checking guidelines.

Crowdfunding is convenient for multiple people

If "it's difficult to bear the cost alone, but you want to place a support advertisement for G-DRAGON," you can form a crowdfunding campaign with fellow fans. With a crowdfunding format where participation starts from 500 yen per share, a large-scale advertisement can be realized by many fans contributing small amounts.
