As expected, it’s G-Dragon.
G-Dragon showed off his ‘box office power’ by selling out all tickets for his Tokyo Dome concert, which is called the ‘dream stage’ for K-pop singers.
This concert was held approximately 8 years after the T Act III, M O Tour World in 2017, and despite the long hiatus of 8 years, it was sold out, breaking the record for the first time in the history of E T pop solo singers.
This world tour performance artistically expressed philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical concept of ‘Übermensch’, implementing the three stages of becoming a superman through storytelling.
The concert was further enriched by the mysterious and magnificent stage production that incorporated various tech technologies including artificial intelligence(AI)into the stage decorated with real band sounds, and the special guest appearance of world-renowned beatbox champion ‘Wing’, who also created an explosive response at his performance in Korea.
G-Dragon showed off his fluent Japanese skills, making local fans smile, even though he felt awkward speaking Japanese for the first time in a long time.
He expressed his sincerity by saying, “This is my comeback after 88 months, thank you for waiting and I hope to see you often in the future.”
He continued, “Taeyang and Daesung also had concerts in Japan.They are both friends who are really good at Japanese, so please spread the word that I am better,” and even in his playful words, we can feel his deep affection for the members.
