G-Dragon's 'Übermensch' Debuts at No.1, Marks Triumphant Return After 11 Years
February 26, 2025
The album quickly gained traction, debuting at number one on QQ Music's Daily Best Selling Album chart and achieving 2X platinum certification within just four minutes of its release.
The lifting of the ban is viewed as a potential move to improve relations between China and South Korea amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
In support of the album, G-Dragon will embark on a world tour, with the first concerts scheduled for March 29 and 30, 2025, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea.
Übermensch features eight tracks, including pre-release singles Power and Home Sweet Home, which showcase collaborations with fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung.
This success comes on the heels of China's reported lifting of the Hallyu ban, which had restricted K-pop content since 2017 due to political tensions surrounding the THAAD deployment.
G-Dragon's highly anticipated third studio album, titled Übermensch, was released on February 25, 2025, marking a significant comeback after an 11-year hiatus since his last album, Coup d'Etat.
Fans have enthusiastically celebrated G-Dragon's return, dubbing him the 'King of K-Pop' and praising the quality of the new album.
Fan club pre-sale for the tour begins on February 26, 2025, followed by a general pre-sale on February 27, 2025.
