[TV Daily Reporter Han Seo-yul] G-Dragon captured attention once again at his ‘Ubermensch’ show, marking his 19th year as a performer. The concert held on December 14 at the Gocheok Sky Dome was the grand finale of his global tour this year.

Debuting as part of BIGBANG in 2006, G-Dragon has enjoyed immense popularity through both solo and group endeavors. However, the artist faced several controversies since last year, particularly after his return to national television at the SBS Gayo Daejeon, which drew negative feedback, and issues stemming from a late solo concert in Goyang that raised concerns about his live performances.

In contrast, during his encore show, he showcased remarkable improvement by starting on time and delivering a well-rounded live experience that matched fans’ expectations. Additionally, he stirred nostalgia by performing alongside BIGBANG members Daesung and Taeyang.

The ‘Ubermensch’ concert served as a pivotal moment for G-Dragon, showcasing his musical evolution. He emerged from past controversies more confident, touching the hearts of fans who rewarded his transformation with applause. This became a cathartic experience, allowing audiences to move past previous disappointments.

G-Dragon’s commanding presence during certain performances heightened fans’ anticipation. Through varied staging, he conveyed the diversity of his projects, captivating the audience with visually stunning displays. This aspect strongly indicates that he is solidifying his position not merely as a singer but as a multifaceted artist.

Furthermore, with G-Dragon hinting at BIGBANG's return, he heightened fans' hopes for the group's future. The new music and concerts they will showcase are bound to further accentuate their influence within the K-pop industry.
