Fans defend G-Dragon from racist comments seen on Chanel's 'Gabrielle bag campaign'

The luxurious brandChanelrecently uploaded their campaign featuringBig Bang'sG-Dragonon Facebook with the caption that reads "In Macau with G-Dragon, for CHANEL's GABRIELLE bag campaign."

However, instead of accepting the level of diversity any industry requires and actually appreciating the campaign, some commenters couldn't help but post negative and racist remarks on the video. One comment reads, "Sorry this isn't Chanel. She was French. Vive la France." In addition to this, other comments were seen that equated him being from China simply because he was Asian and that he simply did not fit the Chanel image.

In light of these kinds of negative energy people were spewing, many fans have come out to support the artist but also to shut down any racist comments they saw. With the exception of comments such as above, the majority showed much appreciation and welcomed the advertisement with an open arm.
