G-Dragon to bring 'Ubermensch' concert to Philippine Arena

K-pop legend G-Dragon, widely recognized as the leader of the iconic boy band BIGBANG, is set to make a much-anticipated return to the Philippines as part of his "Ubermensch" world tour. This marks a major comeback for the artist, who has been a key figure in the K-pop industry for nearly two decades.  

The Philippine leg of the tour is scheduled for May 17 at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, as confirmed by Fanplusone, an official account that provides updates on G-Dragon’s activities. This announcement has sparked excitement among Filipino fans, who have been eagerly waiting for his return to the local concert scene.  

Further details regarding the concert, including ticket sales and seating arrangements, have yet to be released. However, Applewood Philippines, the tour’s local promoter, assured fans through an X (formerly Twitter) post that more information will be announced soon. 

The "Ubermensch" tour is in support of G-Dragon’s latest album of the same name. The tour is set to begin with a two-day concert in South Korea in late March, followed by its "first phase," which includes stops in Japan, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. The inclusion of multiple Asian countries reflects G-Dragon’s immense popularity across the region. 

This upcoming concert will be G-Dragon’s second solo performance in the Philippines. In 2017, he held his "Act III: M.O.T.T.E" world tour at the Araneta Coliseum, a show that was met with overwhelming support from his Filipino fanbase. Now, with his return after several years, anticipation is at an all-time high as fans prepare to see the K-pop superstar live once again. 

G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, debuted in 2006 as the leader of BIGBANG. The group became one of the most influential acts in the K-pop industry, producing hit songs such as "Fantastic Baby," "Bang Bang Bang," and "Loser." Their unique sound and trendsetting fashion have left a lasting impact on the global music scene, cementing their status as one of the best-selling K-pop groups of all time. 

Beyond his work with BIGBANG, G-Dragon has also built an impressive solo career. His previous solo albums, including "Heartbreaker," "Coup D’Etat," and "Kwon Ji Yong," have topped music charts and showcased his versatility as a singer, rapper, and producer. Known for his innovative style, he continues to push artistic boundaries, blending music, fashion, and performance in ways that set him apart from other artists. 

With the "Ubermensch" tour, G-Dragon is expected to deliver a high-energy performance, featuring a mix of his latest songs and classic hits. His concerts are known for their elaborate stage designs, powerful choreography, and artistic storytelling, making each show a unique experience for fans. 

As Filipino VIPs (BIGBANG’s fandom) eagerly await more details, G-Dragon’s return to the Philippines is shaping up to be one of the most exciting K-pop events of the year. Fans can expect an unforgettable night filled with music, passion, and the signature charisma that has made G-Dragon a global superstar.
