G-DRAGON Announces His Grand Return with Third Full-Length Album “Übermensch” +

Renowned for his vibrant energy and sharp artistic vision, G-DRAGON is making a highly anticipated comeback with his third full-length album, Übermensch.

On February 4th, he unveiled a teaser video through his official fan SNS (@fanplusonedotcom), announcing that the album will be released on February 25, 2025.

The teaser video immediately captivates viewers, beginning with G-DRAGON’s silhouette walking through a dazzling, dreamlike spectrum of colors. As the scene unfolds, two identical silhouettes approach each other before merging into the stylized ‘Ü’ logo of Übermensch, a symbol that first appeared in the introduction of his music video for POWER. This visually striking transition, paired with fluid and mesmerizing motion, leaves a lasting impression and fuels excitement for the upcoming release.

Adding to the intrigue, the teaser’s background music incorporates the sound of a heartbeat, layered over a melody reminiscent of roaring crowd cheers, intensifying the emotional impact. Finally, the album title Übermensch appears on screen, alongside the official release date, amplifying anticipation for G-DRAGON’s long-awaited return.

What makes Übermensch particularly significant is that it marks G-DRAGON’s first full-length solo album in 11 years and 5 months since the release of COUP D’ETAT in September 2013. Given the immense curiosity surrounding the album’s timing and concept, the project has already sparked a wave of excitement among fans and the industry alike.

The album’s title, Übermensch, is derived from the German word meaning ‘superman’ or ‘beyond-man,’ a philosophical concept introduced by Friedrich Nietzsche, representing the idea of surpassing one’s limitations and evolving into a higher being. G-DRAGON, often described as a ‘born-to-be artist,’ appears to be embracing this theme by presenting himself as an even stronger, more evolved version of himself, aiming to redefine artistic and personal boundaries.

Active Engagement with Fans + Upcoming Activities

Previously, he brought joy to his worldwide fanbase with the launch of his first official fan community. According to his agency, Galaxy Corporation, the platform was officially opened on Monday, February 3rd, at 6 PM (KST) through the fandom business solution b.stage. This long-awaited announcement serves as a special reward for the overwhelming love and support G-DRAGON has received since his comeback, marking a significant milestone in his career after an 88-month hiatus.

Through this new fan community, G-DRAGON plans to engage more actively with his global supporters, sharing exclusive content and showcasing various aspects of his artistry.

Meanwhile, G-DRAGON continues to dominate the charts with his digital single POWER, released in October 2024 after a seven-year hiatus. Additionally, his collaboration HOME SWEET HOME—featuring fellow Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung—has been a massive success since its release in November, securing the No.1 spot on Melon and Genie Music’s monthly charts for two consecutive months. This overwhelming reception proves the enduring influence of G-DRAGON, whose music remains in high demand.

With Übermensch, G-DRAGON is set to spark a new wave of what fans call the ‘GD Syndrome,’ reaffirming his position as an artist who continually pushes creative boundaries. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be one of the most defining moments of his career.

With such a dynamic cast, expectations are high for both the music and the entertaining interactions on the show.
