G-Dragon is preparing to return with his third studio album Ubermensch scheduled to be released on February 25. To promote this album, G-Dragon will organize a world tour in 2025, starting from the end of March.
In recent days, the male singer's concert in Korea has been controversial because the ticket price is too expensive, equal to international stars.
However, it is undeniable that Big Bang leader is attractive, as Korean media predicts that the concert will still be sold out despite its quite high price.
G-Dragon has been passionate about music since he was a child. When he was only 5 years old, he joined the Little Roo'ra boy band. He spent about 5 years as a trainee at SM Entertainment before joining YG Entertainment.
With a passion for hip hop and a desire to become a rapper beyond the underground world, aiming to become a true artist, not "shaping" according to common standards, G-Dragon and 4 members of Big Bang entered the music industry in 2006.
Big Bang joined the Gen 2 Kpop race under the scrutiny of the public. G-Dragon and the 4 members were criticized for their unattractive appearance, "crazy" and off-key style.
Starting out as an idol in a group, G-Dragon is always considered one of the most versatile artists in Kpop. He is a singer, rapper, songwriter and also participates in music production.
Thanks to the leader's composing and production talent, Big Bang reached its peak, being one of the first Kpop groups to write their own music, sweeping the charts with a series of hits for the generation "Lies", "Haru Haru", "Fantastic Baby", " Loser", "Bang Bang Bang"...
G-Dragon's solo career was also successful in the early years of Big Bang's activities. Whether working in a group or "on the street", the name G-Dragon always makes Kpop cautious.
With about 200 songs under his name, G-Dragon is known as the most famous singer and songwriter in the Korean music industry.
As G-Dragon self-pure about himself in his song "Power" released last year: "I am a rare item of Gen 2, a masterpiece of this century. Like a dragon flying, wherever I am, it is hot there.
In the fashion world, G-Dragon is also a powerful figure, with a unique fashion mindset, highly appreciated outfit and design ability.
Korean media once commented that G-Dragon being chosen as Chanel's first Asian male ambassador in 2016 was of great significance, attracting luxury brands to pay attention to Korea and choosing Kpop idols as their representative face.
As the face of many luxury brands such as Chanel, Givenchy, Nike... G-Dragon is the first Korean idol to sit in the front row of Paris Fashion Week.
Having a brilliant career, the name G-Dragon is also associated with many controversies and scandals.
He was involved in a drug scandal twice, accused of abusing power, argued about his attitude, and suspected of delaying military service. Accusations of plagiarizing G-Dragon's song "Heartbreaker" caused him to struggle for a while.
The personal life of the Big Bang leader is equally noisy. He was once suspected of dating model Kiko, runner-up Kim Go Eun or Jennie.
However, G-Dragon is still respected by his colleagues and juniors, and has been praised by the media for many years. The singer is considered the "idols of idols", because "he did not create a trend, but he himself was a trend".
