G-DRAGON
Taiwan is still buzzing after G‑DRAGON reaffirmed his legendary status as an international K‑POP monarch.
From July 11 to 13, G‑DRAGON held three electrifying concerts at Taipei Arena as part of his “2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch]”, drawing nearly 36,000 fans in Taiwan.
His arrival sparked massive media coverage: major Taiwanese outlets, including national TV, highlighted his entrance, concerts, and exhibitions. Notably, China Times dedicated an entire front page to him, a rare honor for a Korean artist.
Fans took over the streets of Taipei with giant billboards, bus ads, murals, and banners. Some even dressed up as G‑DRAGON at the concert, underscoring the overwhelming excitement.
In return, G‑DRAGON delivered a powerhouse performance, showcasing stunning professionalism. Ditching his signature red rose jacket, he wore a brand-new multicolored rose jacket and sported striking blue-violet hair, captivating audiences during an intense two-hour solo show.
The performance featured augmented reality and AI-enhanced visuals, backed by a live band, creatively bringing Nietzsche’s Ubermensch concept to life. In a moving moment, G‑DRAGON took the stage on a crane (“AM crane”), a technique he had used in Macau, and for the first time performed the Chinese cinema classic “月亮代表我的心” (You Miang Dai Biao Wo De Xin), heightening the emotional impact of the night.
Sold-Out Triumph? All 36,000 tickets were sold out, and fans without tickets lined the venue’s lobby. Meanwhile, the “G‑DRAGON Media Exhibition: Ubermensch”, hosted at Taipei 101, sold out in record time—crashing the ticketing site in just 10 minutes, and selling out all dates within 20 minutes.
After memorable stops in Tokyo, Bulacan, Osaka, Macao, Sydney, and Melbourne, G‑DRAGON has cemented his K‑POP legend in Taiwan. His “2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch]” now continues to Kuala Lumpur (July 19–20), followed by stops in Jakarta, Hong Kong, Newark, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and finally Paris.
