Last updated:

BIGBANG’s G-Dragon has made K-pop history with his recent concerts at the iconic Tokyo Dome. On May 10 and 11, 2025, he became the first-ever K-pop solo artist to sell out the Tokyo Dome twice in a row.

This significant achievement came after an eight-year hiatus, during which G-Dragon was away from the music scene.

Despite the long break, his solo comeback with the album Übermensch and subsequent world tour has been a massive success, demonstrating his enduring star power.

The Tokyo Dome, with a capacity of 55,000, was packed on both days of the concert, even though they were held on weekdays (Tuesday and Wednesday).

Fans arrived early, with many lining up as early as 7 a.m. to purchase official merchandise. G-Dragon’s ability to fill the venue back-to-back, especially after such a long absence, has left both Korean and international fans in awe of his legendary status.

Korean netizens have expressed admiration, with comments like:

“It’s been 8 years since he was gone. This is pretty crazy.”

“Selling out Tokyo Dome twice as a solo artist is legendary.”

“Once you fall for G-Dragon, you probably can’t get out of it.”

G-Dragon’s achievements continue to solidify his place as one of K-pop’s most influential and enduring figures.
