G-DRAGON laughed, G-DRAGON made funny gestures, G-DRAGON used "magic" to control the fans to cheer according to his command. G-DRAGON and the dancers got on a chrysanthemum car and went around the stadium to greet the fans. All of them made the fans go crazy.
Some people wonder why most Korean idols can do that. They are trained by K-pop companies that are masters of "fan service" - cute, intimate, and fan-pleasing actions that make them flutter.
G-DRAGON has "fan service" at a high level, but there's also no denying he's an attractive, unique, and individual being.
'Mr. Long' in the arms of fans
Anh Long, Kwon Ji Yong, GD... - fans used many different nicknames to call G-DRAGON during the concert G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] in Hanoi organized by 8Wonder.
In particular, the name "Anh Long" was called over and over again, surprising both G-DRAGON and international fans. When hearing the "Anh Long, Anh Long" chants that shook the air, G-DRAGON had a funny, bewildered expression.

Those nicknames show that in nearly 20 years of his career, G-DRAGON has become a close image to fans, not only as an artist but also as a close brother, or a "grandmother" with a very unique feminine dressing style in recent years.
Maybe, he is a very individual artist, even eccentric in music and fashion, but when he "takes off character", he always makes fans feel close.
And because of that closeness, simply whatever G-DRAGON does, fans go crazy. He sang Home Sweet Home with the image of Taeyang and Daesung on stage.
He sang Crooked , and the fans sang along for most of the song. He turned on A Boy , and the fans sang along. When it came to Heartbreaker , the whole stadium exploded. He sat there interacting, speaking English slowly, and every time he added a word or a sentence, the fans cheered.
He chose Hanoi as the last stop after a 16-city tour, before returning to Seoul for the final show. He said that next year Big Bang will celebrate 20 years of their career, and he really hopes that fans will be there. He said tonight is very special. All of them made the fans excited.
G-DRAGON also surprised everyone when he was willing to rush down to the field and walk along the standing area for a long time so that fans could see him closer. Throughout the concert, the audience waited for the "dragon carriage" - the dragon-shaped carriage that would carry him around the field to get closer to all the fans. And in Vietnam, the chrysanthemum carriage appeared, helping many audiences from far away to clearly see G-DRAGON in the flesh.
Übermensch was a visually stunning concert with G-DRAGON's visuals, costumes, graphics, stage effects, and the vehicle all looking great. Even though he wasn't very good at singing live, the concert was filled with familiar, catchy songs and some light, relaxing moments.
Why is G-DRAGON a legend?
Born in 1988, now 37 years old, G-DRAGON still has many cute gestures like a child, while he is always famous as an artist with 20 years of experience and many strange ideas. This contrast is also very attractive.
G-DRAGON's greatest success is probably not money or fame, but creating an attractive story that makes others love, trust, listen, follow, imitate, and help him continue and extend that story.
MV Power by G-DRAGON
There are thousands of G-DRAGON replicas in his concerts, when fans cosplay iconic looks, famous costumes associated with his career, especially during the Übermensch album and MV Power - the period when he was on tour to promote.
Because G-DRAGON opened the Übermensch concert with a bright red coat decorated with roses, many of the audience members were wearing the same coat. Because he has used red as a main color throughout his career, many of the audience members came dressed in all red.
Creating such stories, making himself an indispensable figure in Asian pop culture rather than just an artist or K-pop idol, G-DRAGON is considered a legend.
