While it has been announced that G-Dragon will be one of the performers for the 2013 Style Icon Awards, comedian Shin Dong Yeop will be the one who will be hosting the said event on October 24.
The SIA is the solitary style icon award show in Korea that recognizes iconic people in the different fields of broadcasts, music, fashion, arts, and culture; who have made a bearing in the public and has changed their lifestyles. This year is their 6th year with the concept, "Otherness," aiming on people who stands out from the crowd because of their different style and outlook in life.
In 2013, SIA will begin its celebrations with the "Style Icon Film Festival," then next is a fashion show, bazaar, photo exhibition, and other special events before the main event, the award ceremony.
Hosts for the red carpet will be Clara, 2AM's Seulong, and Kang Seung Yeon.

"We have decided on Shin Dong Yeop to take care of the important last night of SIA. With his extraordinary speaking skills, it'll be good to anticipate what Shin Dong Yeop will bring on October 24."
