* This review includes the performances on the 29th and 30th. ALL arrangements, a stage that incorporated AI-drone technology, and an unrivaled setlist. Singer G-Dragon kicked off his world tour with an audience of 60,000 people at Goyang Stadium on the 29th and 30th. This was his first performance in 8 years since 2017‘s ‘ACT III, MOTTE’, which set a record for the largest tour by a solo artist. In 2017, a reporter wrote about ‘ACT III, MOTTE’, “It wasn’t overwhelming but it was overwhelming, it was empty but not empty, it was subdued but it was perfect.” At the time, he ended the performance with ‘Untitled (2014)’, and it was impressive that the black-and-white images instead of strong lighting emptied out the emotions that had filled the 150 minutes. On the other hand, G-Dragon, who returned to the stage after 8 years, became very cheerful and playful.

Comeback ‘Sign’ Izuna ‘Will Be a Fierce K-Pop SIGN’[Interview]

“Guys, we‘re like celebrities.” Even though it’s been four months since their official debut, they still say this. They only realize how different they are when they‘re not awake, “doing their schedules”, or “with their makeup on. For the super rookie ‘IZNA’, whose ‘highly perfected stage’ has become their trademark, it seems undeniable that today is ‘the sum of their days awake’. Some of the high school members say that “the barrage of autographs from their classmates”, which has become a ‘routine’ when they go to school, is still new and awkward at the same time. In interviews with the press, which can be counted on one hand, they showed their determination to pour out all the somewhat obvious(?) stories that they had been preparing for the past few days whenever they had time, but they also talked about how they were fresh and sincere, saying things like, ‘This is the real situation’, but they also talked about how they felt four months after their debut.

‘Is this the first time G-Dragon has wiped his snot on stage?’ A performance of all time that is unfortunate due to the cold

If ‘G-Dragon wiping his nose’ on stage was an uncommon sight, then it was a rare sight. It was a scene from his solo concert ‘Overmancy in Korea’, where he met his ‘alone’ fandom for the first time in 8 years. Until just a few days ago, the weather was like spring, so it was true that G-Dragon, the star of the ‘weekend cold’ performance, as well as the 30,000 audience members who came to see him, were an unstoppable genius. As if things weren‘t bad enough, the strong winds were also present, and even though the scheduled opening of the performance was delayed by 30 minutes due to facility inspection, the fact that it started 44 minutes later than that means ‘the hot concert fever even put an end to the sub-zero weather’. The ‘breath’ that burst out like silk stage effects from all over the audience proved this. Returning after 8 years, G-Dragon’s world tour ‘Weavermancy in Korea with Coupang Play’ was held at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province for two days on the 29th and 30th. It has
