"Wrapping up personal matters, returning to the stage"… G-DRAGON who cleared up dating rumors.

G-DRAGON officially denied dating rumors with Lee Joo-yeon, putting an end to personal issues, and will return to the stage, his main profession, through a large-scale world tour starting June 7.

G-DRAGON is currently previewing a reunion with global fans under the title "G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch]" and will hold performances in Macau, the first city of the Asian tour, from June 7 for three days. Afterwards, he will tour a total of 11 cities, including nine Asian cities such as Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, as well as two cities in Australia, Sydney and Melbourne.

Recently, G-DRAGON was swept up in dating rumors again, this time with Lee Joo-yeon, following Sana. He has cleanly addressed his relationships with both individuals, officially stating that they are "completely unfounded."

In the meantime, despite the heated public opinion online, G-DRAGON has quietly prepared his path. Notably, the timing of the agency's statements and the start date of the world tour have coincided, leading netizens to express expectations, noting, "G-DRAGON is expected to return as an artist after wrapping up personal matters neatly."

Meanwhile, "Übermensch" is a concept from German philosopher Nietzsche, meaning the ideal human. The theme of this tour similarly embodies G-DRAGON's artistic expression, identity, and musical philosophy, showcasing a strong commitment to presenting these aspects with high quality on stage. Among fans, support has been expressed with comments like, "An artist who speaks through music rather than controversy," and, "G-DRAGON's main job is the stage."

This tour marks the first major project starting with his new agency, Galaxy Corporation, after leaving YG and is seen as a new chapter for solo artist G-DRAGON and an extension of his global career. Particularly, the large-scale schedule covering not only major Asian cities but also Oceania reaffirms that he remains a globally influential K-pop icon.

G-DRAGON is starting full-fledged global activities after leaving behind the long shadow of dating rumors. What message will he share with the public again on stage? This "Übermensch" tour is expected to be a moment where G-DRAGON, as an artist, redefines himself beyond just performances.
