Singer G-Dragon is making a comeback with his third regular album.
On the 4th, G-Dragon announced the release of his third regular album ‘Übermensch’ through a teaser video on his official fan SNS.
The released video begins with the silhouette of G-Dragon walking towards the camera amidst dreamy lighting of various colors. Soon, the two silhouettes meet and transform into the ‘Ü’ logo of ‘Übermensch’, which also appeared in the introduction of the ‘POWER’ music video, creating a captivating motion that keeps viewers' eyes glued to the screen.
In particular, the sound of a heartbeat layered over background music reminiscent of fans' cheers raises the viewers' heart rates, while the album title and the release date ‘2025.02.25’ are revealed, further heightening anticipation for the new release.
Most notably, this album ‘Übermensch’ is the third regular album released after 11 years and 5 months since the release of his second solo regular album ‘COUP D’ETAT’ in September 2013, generating explosive interest in its timing and concept even before its release.
With the concept of ‘Übermensch’, which refers to the ideal human presented by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche as a goal in life, G-Dragon, the ‘born-to-be artist’, is expected to evoke a new ‘GD syndrome’. The album title ‘Übermensch’ translates to ‘Beyond-Man’ in English, meaning ‘one who transcends’. He is set to return as a being that transcends himself, appearing even more intense and solid than before.
Meanwhile, G-Dragon has been dominating the charts with his digital single ‘POWER’, released last year on October 7 after 7 years and 4 months, and the new song ‘HOME SWEET HOME’, released in November with Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung. Among them, ‘HOME SWEET HOME’ has proven to capture the public's explosive interest by ranking first on the monthly charts of Melon and Genie Music for two consecutive months.
