In late July, Lee Kang In joined the preseason tour of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as part of the team. The first place he visited was Osaka, Japan, where he ran into G-Dragon. G-Dragon was at the event because of his collaboration with PSG; the uniforms PSG players wore that day were designed by G-Dragon’s fashion brand, Peace Minus One.
