Yet, when the post was shared, it sparked some controversy regarding the name and lettering used for “Übermensch” on the poster.

The term was coined by Nietzsche and portrays the idea of the “ideal superior man of the future,” focusing on values and morality. In particular, Hitler and the Nazi regime used the term to describe their belief in the existence of a biologically superior Aryan or a Germanic master race. It meant that many netizens shared how the use of the word could be uncomfortable for some fans, especially in Europe, combining it with the font and colors used.

Some even shared that while the different parts of the poster is something G-Dragon has used for a while, having them all together was questionable.

While G-Dragon hasn’t announced stops, netizens believe the name of the tour and visual imaging would be disrespectful and controversial, especially in Europe.
