K-pop idol G-Dragon announces first album in more than a decade
G-Dragon has confirmed details of his new solo album ‘Übermensch’.
G-Dragon is set to release his third studio album ‘Übermensch’ this month.
The 36-year-old South Korean singer and rapper - who shot to fame as the leader of the boy band BigBang - has confirmed the release date and tracklisting for his first full-length project in more than a decade, the follow-up to 2013's 'Coup d'Etat'.
In a statement, G-Dragon - whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong - said of the LP: "‘Übermensch’ means 'Beyond-Man,' representing an individual who transcends themselves. This album embodies the idea of presenting a stronger and more resilient version of oneself to the public. I hope this strength resonates with my fans through my music."
Fans have so far heard the singles 'Home Sweet Home' and 'Power', the latter of which was released in October and marked his first solo release in seven years.
‘Übermensch’ will be released on February 25 and follows G-Dragon's 2017 EP 'Kwon Ji Yong'.
The record unveiling comes days after the K-pop superstar teased the 'Übermensch World Tour', with more details set to follow.
In 2009, G-Dragon released his debut solo album 'Heartbreaker' to acclaim, with the collection becoming the best-selling album by a Korean soloist at the time and earning him Album of the Year at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards.
In November, BigBang reunited at G-Dragon's 2024 MAMA Awards performance in Osaka, for their first live performance since 2017.
BigBang released the single 'Still Life' in 2022, their first in four years.
'Übermensch' is available to pre-order now.
