Taipei, Taiwan — South Korean artist G-Dragon has set a new milestone in K-pop history, becoming the first Korean idol to sell out two consecutive nights at the Taipei Dome, attracting a total audience of 80,000 people. The achievement marks the largest concert ever held in Taiwan by a Korean solo act, reinforcing G-Dragon’s enduring influence as one of Asia’s most prominent musical figures.
The two-day event, part of the artist’s ongoing “Übermensch Tour”, sold out within minutes of ticket release, demonstrating G-Dragon’s continued global appeal. The Taipei Dome, which holds approximately 40,000 attendees per night, was packed to capacity as fans from across Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia gathered to witness the star’s highly anticipated return to the stage.
Throughout the shows, G-Dragon delivered an ambitious setlist blending his chart-topping hits, including “Crooked,” “Untitled, 2014,” “Heartbreaker,” and “One of a Kind”, with new tracks from his 'Übermensch' album. Each performance featured elaborate stage production, striking visuals, and dynamic live arrangements that highlighted the artist’s signature creativity and showmanship.
Local media outlets praised the concerts as “a cultural event of historic scale,” noting that no other Korean performer has ever drawn such a large audience in Taiwan. Industry observers also pointed to G-Dragon’s long-standing influence in shaping the global perception of K-pop, citing his ability to attract both long-time fans and new listeners nearly two decades into his career.
Tourism officials in Taipei reported a significant increase in hotel occupancy and local spending during the concert weekend, underscoring the economic ripple effect of the event. Social media platforms saw widespread engagement, with hashtags such as #GDRAGONinTaipei and #GDragonTaipeiDome trending across multiple countries.
With this record-breaking turnout, G-Dragon not only cements his status as a trailblazer in K-pop but also establishes a new benchmark for Korean artists performing overseas. His back-to-back sellouts at the Taipei Dome serve as a reminder of his unparalleled impact and the sustained power of his artistry in the global music landscape. His ongoing tour exceeded 700,000 fans attending, making it the largest tour ever done by a Korean solo artist, breaking G-Dragon's own previous record with 'Act III: M.O.T.T.E World Tour' that was holding for 8 years.
