On May 25 and 26, G-Dragon continued his 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] with back-to-back sold-out performances at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, drawing over 80,000 fans. Despite one of the shows landing on a weekday, every seat — including those with restricted views — was filled, proving once again why he remains the solo powerhouse of K-pop.

Following his Tokyo Dome tour opener earlier this month — his first time back there in eight years — This tour wasn’t just about the music. It was also a fashion masterclass.

Each show came with a fresh wardrobe change, but one standout look had everyone talking: a vibrant red jacket adorned with white roses details added. At his previous concert, G-Dragon had gone full red — but this time, the addition of a white flower added a striking contrast and elevated the look even further.

It wasn’t just a fashion choice; it was a bold twist on classic romance and a clear message — G-Dragon doesn’t just perform, he curates the stage.

To celebrate the show, legendary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami gifted him a daisy-shaped floral wreath. But the ultimate style moment came in leather: a custom jacket designed by Yohji Yamamoto, featuring the designer's signature art. It wasn’t just fashion — it was wearable modern art, cementing G-Dragon’s place not only in music but also in global avant-garde culture.

From shredding imaginary guitar riffs during “TOO BAD” (featuring Anderson .Paak) to a groove-heavy dance break that mixed mime with swagger, G-Dragon filled the entire stage — alone — with energy, movement, and pure charisma. Visual events inspired by AI and the Übermensch theme added another layer of conceptual artistry to the performance.

And he’s not done. The Übermensch tour is headed next to Macau, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, before touching down in Sydney and Melbourne.

Fashion. Art. Music. G-Dragon’s back — and he’s bigger, bolder, and more brilliant than ever.
