The King has officially returned, and Kuala Lumpur reverberated with his every beat! G-DRAGON ignited the Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil with sold-out performances on July 19th and 20th, marking an epic end to his 2-nights G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] in Kuala Lumpur, presented by Hong Leong Bank. This production, as bold and boundary-pushing as the artist himself, has left an indelible mark on Malaysian fans.
Promoted by AEG Presents, TME live, Star Planet and Top Top Production, G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] in Kuala Lumpur, presented by Hong Leong Bank, saw fans from across Malaysia and neighboring countries packed the arena, witnessing a visual and sonic masterpiece that solidified G-DRAGON's status as a defining force in global music and culture. The Kuala Lumpur shows drew an enthusiastic crowd of over 20,000 attendees across two days—a powerful testament to his enduring global appeal. Every seat was filled, every moment electric.
From the instant the lights dimmed, the crowd erupted as G-DRAGON made a commanding entrance, setting the stage ablaze with the explosive opening track, “POWER.” This high impact start instantly electrified the arena, setting the tone for an immersive journey. The performance unfolded with relentless energy, cinematic visuals, and deeply personal storytelling, captivating the audience from beginning to end.
His setlist was a powerful blend of past and present, featuring iconic anthems such as “Crooked,” “Crayon,” “Heartbreaker,” and “One of a Kind,” alongside brand-new tracks including “TOO BAD” and “DRAMA.” Together, these songs formed the core of Übermensch, a conceptually rich project exploring themes of self-transcendence, reinvention, and artistic liberation.
Every element of the show was executed to perfection. From futuristic stage design and immersive lighting to jaw-dropping visual effects, the production was a multi-sensory spectacle. G-DRAGON's renowned fashion commanded attention throughout the night with multiple outfit changes, each reflecting his bold, ever-evolving style and perfectly complementing the mood and message of each segment. His ability to fuse high fashion with unparalleled stage presence not only captivated the audience but further cemented his reputation as a true global fashion icon.
The arena transformed into a pulsating sea of color as fans waved their light sticks in perfect rhythm, their chants echoing between songs and amplifying the energy with every beat. The emotional pinnacle arrived during the final song, “Untitled, 2014,” when the entire arena glowed softly under a blanket of lights. Fans sang along in unison, their voices trembling with emotion, with many visibly moved to tears.
From start to finish, the Kuala Lumpur shows were nothing short of extraordinary. Beyond a mere concert, it was a high-concept performance, a powerful reunion, and a shared cultural moment. As the final notes of “Untitled, 2014” faded and the lights slowly dimmed, G-DRAGON stood in silence, allowing the profound moment to speak for itself. The message was clear: he returned not just as a performer, but as an artist who left an unforgettable mark—and Malaysia responded with resounding love.
