G-DRAGON's concert sublimates in the "ocean of light" Ocean City

"Sea of people" in Ocean City during Kpop star's concert

During both days of the concert, Ocean City was transformed into a sea of people from early afternoon. Tens of thousands of spectators, including many international fans, flocked to the central area to check-in and take photos in G-DRAGON-esque outfits.

Although the performance area is dozens of hectares wide, every path, lawn, and grandstand is packed with people.

Before the performance, on the giant LED screen, the organizers took a few minutes to send a humane message to the Vietnamese people in the areas affected by the storm and flood: "Hopefully life and heartache will soon recover. Wishing everyone peace and health. Thank you to all those who are working hard to overcome the consequences."

G-DRAGON appeared in a red suit covered in roses with the song “Power”. The whole Ocean City seemed to shake, tens of thousands of people simultaneously chanted “Anh Long” – the affectionate nickname that Vietnamese fans gave him. Tens of thousands of daisy lightsticks lit up simultaneously, turning the sea square into an “ocean of light”.

The leader of legendary Kpop group BIGBANG continued to lead the audience through “Home Sweet Home”, “Go” and “One of a Kind” – manifestos that affirm self and temperament.

As the familiar strains of “Crayon” played, the fanchant rippled like a sonic earthquake, and fireworks lit up the Ocean City sky in a moment of ecstasy.

“This is the final destination of my world tour. Every time I return to Hanoi , I always feel something very special. Welcome to my home,” G-DRAGON shared.

If the opening part was red with power, the next part opened another G-DRAGON – dreamy, narrative and intimate. “Bonamana”, “Butterfly” led the audience into a dreamy space with silver-white light covering the stage. G-DRAGON sat on the silver throne of the Übermensch, telling the story through music .

The atmosphere exploded again with “I Love It”, “Who You”, “Today”. G-DRAGON walked down the stage to get closer to the audience, waving, taking selfies and smiling brightly. “Crooked” made the whole audience stand up, the fan chant in unison.

G-DRAGON dropped the mic and let the crowd sing for him, making this one of the most memorable moments of the night.

“I love you guys. You guys are my FAM (G-DRAGON’s fandom name). Today, we are all on the first page of Übermensch history,” G-DRAGON said, amidst endless cheers.

The entire audience seemed to shake when G-DRAGON mentioned BIGBANG reunion 2026: “Next year is BIGBANG's 20th anniversary,” he said, “and I hope you will be there with us.”

Following the explosive atmosphere was a series of familiar hits “Heartbreaker”, “Take Me” and “Too Bad”. At this time, G-DRAGON sometimes beatboxed, sometimes improvised with electric guitar, and drifted with laser lights sweeping across the stage.

Her unique dance moves and versatile stage presence kept the audience glued to her eyes. Every gesture, look, and word made the fan chants go wild.

Immediately after, the stage turned to a quiet moment with a video depicting the journey from boy Kwon Ji-yong to icon G-DRAGON, with the message Übermensch - "an entity living by its own will".

The entire audience chanted his real name in unison, creating one of the most emotional moments of the night. Then, a few minutes later, “Drama” resounded dramatically, both powerful and poignant, as a perfect ending to the main part of the show.

During the encore, G-DRAGON returned in a cloak, got on a daisy car and walked around the stage, singing “This Love”, “1 Year”, “IBelongiiu”. The whole stage sang along, creating a rising “tide of people”.

“Untitled, 2014” ended the show in a space filled with emotion, as G-DRAGON expressed his gratitude to the thousands of audiences who joined him in creating a memorable show.

Vietnam is one of the few stops in the world tour that has a send-off (saying goodbye to the audience after the show) – a privilege reserved for VVIP tickets. G-DRAGON appeared radiantly, waving and smiling friendly. Just a few short minutes but enough to make the whole audience burst into emotion.

New Asian concert destination puts Vietnam on the global world tour map

Behind the artist’s sublime moment is a space that is perfectly prepared down to the last detail. Ocean City has created the foundation for G-DRAGON’s 2 nights of performances to be complete.

With modern infrastructure, professional organization and pioneering spirit, this place is opening a new era for world tour concerts in Vietnam.

Ocean City owns a stage with a capacity of 60,000 spectators, open landscape and international standard sound and light system. For top artists like G-DRAGON, this is a "creative paradise" for them to freely realize all their stage ideas.

More than just a concert venue, Ocean City is also an integrated entertainment city model, where audiences can watch performances, travel, shop and enjoy culture in a seamless space.

To bring this music festival to Vietnamese audiences, 8WONDER played the role of a strategic bridge to help receive the "nod" from G-DRAGON, while V-Spirit - a new member company of the cultural pillar Vingroup - took on the role of organizing and operating the entire event.

Despite having to overcome a series of strict international standards and unfavorable weather conditions with rain lasting all week, V-Spirit still ensured smooth operation and brought a world tour standard experience, leaving a strong impression on both domestic and international audiences.

G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] IN HANOI, presented by VPBank, is not just a concert, but the beginning of a journey to make Vietnam the center of global cultural and entertainment events.

From Vingroup's vision and world-class organizational capacity, Vietnam is gradually shaping a new position - not only accepting global elites, but also proactively creating values for the world to seek.

Vingroup Corporation has just announced the establishment of a new pillar, Culture, with three companies undertaking strategic tasks in the cultural and artistic ecosystem, namely V-Culture Talents Vietnam Cultural and Artistic Talent Development Joint Stock Company, V-Film Cinema Development Joint Stock Company and V-Spirit Event Organization Joint Stock Company.

The three core goals of the new pillar are to preserve the nation's traditional cultural values; promote creativity and develop art forms; and contribute to creating a new playground where artists can develop their talents, contribute to art, make a living from their profession, and receive due honor.

With this new pillar of Vingroup, Vietnamese audiences can continue to enjoy more top-notch performances like G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] in the future.
