G-Dragon's agency Galaxy Corporation confirms the idol's comeback in the second half of 2024 with global promotional plans

G-Dragon is a 35-year-old South Korean rapper and singer-songwriter who debuted with the second-generation K-pop boy group BIGBANG in 2006, housed under YG Entertainment. Despite being part of a boy band, the idol's solo activities have created a reputation for himself, and his influence has gradually earned him the title of King of K-pop.

Several of the idol's solo albums, such as COUP D'ETAT, Shine A Light, Heartbreaker, etc., have grown to be cherished projects by his fans.

While netizens have always looked forward to his solo releases, the idol hasn't rolled out music since his last EP in 2017, KWON JI YONG, an album that takes after his real name. It was due to various reasons, including his mandatory military service and his departure from YG Entertainment, among others.

Last year, though G-Dragon announced that he was preparing for a solo comeback, fans knew it was a far-off release since YG Entertainment also revealed that the idol would be officially departing the agency due to the end of their contract. In December 2023, the idol signed with Galaxy Corporation, and the idol is finally scheduled to roll out his solo comeback after almost seven years.

These global activities might include a world tour, concerts, fan- meetings, and a performance at The Vegas Sphere as the finale of his world tour in 2025, as reported by Galaxy Corporation's CEO in a recent interview.
