[G-DRAGON]

G-DRAGON is set to perform at the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Summit Welcome Dinner Gala cultural event.
 
As an ambassador for the APEC Summit, G-DRAGON will perform at the Welcome Dinner Gala on the evening of October 31st at the Gyeongju Lahan Hotel Grand Ballroom, attended by heads of state and high-ranking officials from 21 nations. As the sole K-Pop artist present, G-DRAGON is expected to elevate Korea's cultural stature and contribute to the successful hosting of the event through an innovative and creative performance.
 
G-DRAGON, who has established himself as a 'cultural icon' leading pioneering initiatives across various fields beyond K-Pop, including fashion, art, and science and technology, was appointed as an APEC Summit ambassador in July. His APEC promotional video garnered significant attention, receiving praise for "opening new horizons in international event promotion" and accumulating over 17 million views as of the 27th. G-DRAGON reportedly showed great dedication during the video production, traveling between Korea and the United States despite his busy schedule for a world tour.

The APEC Summit Preparatory Planning Group stated, "G-DRAGON, with his global influence, was appointed as an ambassador because he is the optimal figure to effectively convey the values of connection and sustainability, which APEC aims for, both domestically and internationally." They added, "We anticipate an outstanding performance at the Welcome Dinner Gala as well."
 

Meanwhile, G-DRAGON, who has consistently delivered future-oriented messages transcending the boundaries of art and science, has successfully proven his global popularity by concluding performances in Asia-Pacific regions including Tokyo, Bulacan, Osaka, Macau, Sydney, Melbourne, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Hong Kong, followed by major U.S. cities such as Newark, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, and a final show in Paris, France. He will continue his third world tour, 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch]', in Taipei and Hanoi in November after Osaka on October 20th and 21st, and in Seoul in December.
