The lights were off, and there were no audience members. But the moment one person sat on stage, the space became tense and the air changed. G-Dragon stole the stage from the Tokyo Dome rehearsal.
On the 10th, singer G-Dragon announced the start of his tour by revealing the rehearsal scene held at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. This stage marks the opening of the ‘G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch]’. Despite being a rehearsal, the atmosphere on stage and GD's presence were already comparable to a full performance.
In the photo, G-Dragon is quietly sitting on the stage floor wearing a denim jacket with not a single button undone. The surroundings are empty, but it feels like the stage is complete with just that one person.
In one shot, G-Dragon is curled up holding a microphone with a playful expression, while in another shot, he is quietly standing, looking at the empty audience seats. The seemingly indifferent yet meticulous movements, along with his pastel-colored bleached hair, make even the rehearsal an art.
The hotel selfie released the previous day (9th) showed a ‘vulnerable Kwon Ji-yong’ at night, while this rehearsal captured the opposite side. It contained the daytime of director GD, who reads the stage, dresses the music, and senses the space.
Starting with the Tokyo Dome performance, G-Dragon will embark on a tour of eight Asian cities including Bulacan in the Philippines, Osaka, Macau, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Hong Kong.
Fans are reacting with comments like “It already smells like a legend,” “A full set even from the rehearsal,” and “A person who tears up the stage even without lights.”
