Singer G-DRAGON has showcased the majesty of a national treasure-level K-POP king, dominating Taiwan.
From November 11 to 13, G-DRAGON held his world tour 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch]' at the Taipei Arena, meeting with over 36,000 Taiwanese fans.
In particular, Taiwan was completely immersed in 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 wrapping ads, and hand-painted murals, 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 performance that generated explosive cheers. He particularly caught the eye by showcasing a new jacket made of colorful roses instead of his trademark red rose jacket during this world tour. Additionally, his blue-violet hair color attracted attention, 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 the stage.
To connect more closely with the audience, he once again flew on the 'Übermensch Amcrane' after the Macau performance, 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 for local fans.
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 area 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 saw its tickets sell out within just 10 minutes of going on sale, causing the site to crash, and all tickets for the month-long exhibition were sold out in 20 minutes.
In this way, G-DRAGON has proven his status as a K-POP legend by successfully completing performances in Tokyo, Bulacan, Osaka, Macau, Sydney, Melbourne, and now Taipei. He will continue with performances in Kuala Lumpur on the 19th and 20th, followed by shows 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]'.
