The G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] in Hanoi, organized by 8Wonder, is not only G-DRAGON's highly anticipated full concert in Vietnam but also marks the beginning of a world tour series undertaken by the company, making Vietnam a destination for top international superstars.

The second night on November 9th is expected to attract a similar number of attendees, making this world tour a record-breaking two-day music event in Vietnam this year.

Record audience numbers

At the world tour venues, from early morning on November 8th, thousands of fans from all over flocked to check in and buy souvenirs.

As the afternoon progressed, more and more people arrived. Besides Vietnamese fans, there were many fans from other countries and territories such as China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and more.

Among them were those who had the chance to tour Hanoi , enjoy iced milk coffee, eat banh mi, pho... as well as experience the characteristic autumn weather of Northern Vietnam.

Despite having attended 14 G-DRAGON concerts around the world, when AK (from Taiwan) heard that the tour would be stopping in Vietnam, he tried his best to get tickets to be present at the memorable show on the evening of November 9th.

Many Vietnamese fans living abroad also returned home to join the fun. Kha Van (born in 1999, currently pursuing a master's degree in taxation at Portland State University) endured a nearly 24-hour flight to return home to see her idol.

Speaking to Tuoi Tre newspaper, Kha Van said that the event was meticulously and professionally organized, reaching the level of an international concert, not only creating a positive impression on international fans coming to Vietnam but also providing a good experience for the artists.

"I believe that in the future, Vietnam can absolutely become a 'must-visit' destination in the world tours of international artists," she said.

Artists and audiences flocked to Hanoi.

In a conversation with Tuoi Tre newspaper , artists Hong Anh and Quoc Thien expressed their excitement before attending the concert.

Hong Anh bought tickets to see the concert on November 8th. Seeing G-DRAGON perform has been a long-held wish of the artist; she even wrote a heartfelt letter expressing her feelings in June of this year to a representative of an organizing unit and received a reply that G-DRAGON would return to Vietnam.

On her personal page, Hong Anh posted a photo at the airport and humorously wrote, "This old lady puts down the kickstand, shifts gears to overcome her bad luck and chase after her idol."

Meanwhile, Quoc Thien bought tickets to attend the concert on November 9th. Despite being busy rehearsing for his SkyNote - The Reflection live concert on November 22nd in Ho Chi Minh City, Quoc Thien still made time to go see G-DRAGON's concert because he is such a big fan of the "King of K-pop".

Tra Tang (29 years old) has been a die-hard Big Bang fan for 16 years, buying tickets for both November 8th and 9th concerts. Tra Tang shared:

"Luckily, this year I got to meet G-DRAGON three times right here in Vietnam. Now that I have a decent income, I can afford to go to both nights' concerts. Getting tickets was incredibly difficult because the demand was so high, and tickets were sold on many platforms, but luckily I finally managed to buy the tickets I wanted."

Trà Tăng prepared two lightsticks, one for Big Bang and one for G-DRAGON, outfits for two nights, and especially waterproof items such as raincoats, rain boots, zip bags, and plastic bags. "Remember to bring Big Bang's 20th anniversary concert to Vietnam!" she told her idol.

Many fans traveled by car or train from distant places to Hanoi, carrying their suitcases all the way to the venue to exchange their wristbands before arriving at Vinhome Ocean Park to check in and rest while waiting for the afternoon concert.

Phuong My and Xuan Yen are friends from Hai Phong who took the day off work on November 8th to attend the concert. Meanwhile, Bui Thi Thanh Tam (20 years old) traveled by bus from Thai Nguyen to Hanoi. She couldn't sleep all night, eagerly anticipating the moment she would see G-DRAGON take the stage.
