Singer G-DRAGON has showcased the majesty of a national treasure-level K-POP king, dominating Taiwan.
From the 11th to the 13th, G-DRAGON held his world tour 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch]' at the Taipei Arena, meeting over 36,000 Taiwanese fans.
In particular, Taiwan was completely colored by G-DRAGON's visit. Major TV news and various local media outlets extensively reported on G-DRAGON's arrival, concert, and exhibitions, showing great interest. Notably, he was featured on the entire front page of the China Times, which is unusual for a Korean artist.
Moreover, fans welcomed G-DRAGON's visit by filling the streets of Taiwan with LED billboards, banners, bus wrap advertisements, and murals they painted themselves, while many attendees dressed in G-DRAGON cosplay were captured at the concert venue, drawing attention.
In return, G-DRAGON delivered a powerful and professional stage that generated explosive cheers. Notably, he presented a new jacket made of colorful roses instead of his trademark red rose jacket during this world tour, capturing the audience's attention. Additionally, his blue-violet hair color also stood out, and he filled the stage for over two hours with his unique musicality and charm, raising the audience's heart rates.
Furthermore, utilizing various tech technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), the stage setup and real band sound created an immersive performance that artistically interpreted the philosophical concept of Übermensch by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, keeping the audience's eyes glued. To connect more closely with the audience, he once again flew on the 'Übermensch Am Crane' after the Macau concert, and sang the OST of the movie 'Comrades: Almost a Love Story', 'The Moon Represents My Heart', elevating the excitement of the venue to its peak.
As a testament to G-DRAGON's popularity, the Taipei concert sold out all 36,000 tickets, and it is reported that fans who could not purchase tickets filled the lobby in front of the box office. Additionally, the media exhibition 'G-DRAGON Media Exhibition: Übermensch', held at Taiwan's iconic landmark 'Taipei 101' starting from the 18th, also sold out all tickets within just 10 minutes of going on sale, causing the site to crash, and within 20 minutes, tickets for the month-long exhibition were completely sold out.
In this way, G-DRAGON has proven his status as a K-POP legend by successfully completing concerts in Tokyo, Bulacan, Osaka, Macau, Sydney, Melbourne, and now Taipei. He will continue with concerts in Kuala Lumpur on the 19th and 20th, followed by performances in Jakarta, Hong Kong, and in the U.S. cities of Newark, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, as well as Paris, France, as part of his third world tour 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch]'.
