G-Dragon’s 2013 album Coup D’état became one of the most searched terms on South Korean search engines following the declaration of martial law by President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Shortly after martial law was declared, searches for the album Coup D’état surged. Keywords related to the album dominated local streaming service Melon’s search rankings, appearing as the most-searched terms at the time.

G-Dragon’s Coup D’état takes its name from the French phrase used to describe overt attempts by military organizations or government forces to overthrow reigning political leadership.

The accompanying music video for the album’s title track, originally released in 2013, has seen a significant spike in views and comments on YouTube since President Yoon's declaration of martial law.

Beyond his 2013 album, the track "Bullsh*t" from G-Dragon's 2017 album 'Kwon Ji-Yong' has also risen in popularity. The song resonates with the public sentiment, reflecting feelings of anger and confusion in the current climate.
