Singer G-DRAGON successfully completed his first official Middle East stage since his debut with explosive cheers from 20,000 fans, expanding his global range of activities to the Middle East market.
G-DRAGON appeared as a headliner at the "KRAZY SUPER CONCERT" held at the Media City Amphitheater in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 17th (local time). This stage is the first official performance in the Middle East in his career history, and has industrial symbolism in that it has expanded its topography beyond North America and Europe.
The performance opened with "INTRO" and immediately raised the atmosphere on the spot, starting with "PO ₩." He then introduced a series of representative hits including "HOME SWEET HOME (feat. TAEYANG, DAESUNG), "Crayon," "TOO BAD (feat. Anderson .Paak)," and "Crooked," leading the scene to a large-scale singing. In particular, on the "Crooked" stage, a chorus that transcends language and nationality was unfolded, realizing the unity of global fandom.
In terms of stage operation, the completeness was outstanding. In between songs, he actively communicated with local fans to increase the level of immersion in the performance, and made his presence as a headliner clear with understated movements and charismatic performances. This Dubai performance was not just an overseas schedule, but also an example of K-pop artists' market expansion.
In this Dubai performance, G-DRAGON delicately embodied a color narrative reminiscent of Dubai's desert by matching a red brick-toned tailored jacket, pink inner and black wide pants. The understated tailoring and symbolic color combination is a conceptual styling that visually expresses communication with local fans on the first Dubai stage, once again imprinting its presence as a global fashionista who connects space and narrative into fashion while delivering a sincere message to Middle Eastern fans.
Major foreign media also highlighted the news of G-DRAGON's Dubai performance. Billboard, a U.S. music media outlet, focused on the global expansion of "KRAZY SUPER CONCERT" and highlighted G-DRAGON as a headliner for Dubai performances, while Forbes, a U.S. global economic media outlet, also introduced his first stage in the Middle East as an example of expanding the market influence of K-pop leading artists. In addition, Dubai-based English-language media Gulf News and local culture and lifestyle media Time Out Dubai reported the performance as a major cultural issue, followed by Khaleej Times, a leading daily newspaper across the UAE, and Abu Dhabi-based state-run English-language media The National, highlighting G-DRAGON's high interest in the first Middle East stage and its status as a global artist.
Meanwhile, G-DRAGON recently won the "Best Song" for "TOO BAD (feat. Anderson .Paak)" at the 33rd Anniversary Hanteo Music Awards and also won two awards in the "Artist of the Year" category. The Hanteo Music Awards is an award ceremony that reflects indicators based on global real-time record and sound source data, and the award is said to be the result of proving fandom power and practical consumption indicators at the same time. The news of the award, which followed shortly after the Dubai performance, shows that his global influence is accumulating in figures and achievements, not in a single shot.
In addition, he held his first solo fan meeting "2026 G-DRAGON 'FAM' MEETING [FAM+ILLY: FAM I LOVE YOU]" in Seoul from February 6 to 8 and Yokohama from 13 to 15 in Japan, continuing to communicate closely with fans. On the 21st and 22nd, we plan to expand our global fan contact point by continuing our fan meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.
