K-pop icon G-Dragon is set to take to the global stage with a solo performance at the welcome banquet for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which will be attended by leaders and senior officials from 21 member countries.
The high-profile event will take place on the evening of October 31 at the Grand Ballroom of Lahan Hotel in Gyeongju. G-Dragon will be the only K-pop artist to perform at the prestigious gathering.
Appointed as a promotional ambassador for the APEC Summit in July, G-Dragon has since contributed to the international visibility of the event. The promotional video featuring him has already exceeded 17 million views as of October 27th. Despite a busy world tour schedule, he managed to film the campaign while traveling between the United States and South Korea.
The APEC Summit Organizing Committee expressed high expectations for its role, stating: “With his global influence, G-Dragon is the ideal figure to amplify APEC’s vision of connectivity and sustainability. We expect his extraordinary performance at the welcome banquet.”
G-Dragon’s third world tour, “G-DRAGON WORLD TOUR 2025 [Übermensch]”,” is currently underway, with stops in Osaka from October 20-21, followed by upcoming shows in Taipei and Hanoi in November, as well as Seoul in December.
With his upcoming performance at APEC, G-Dragon continues to solidify his position as a global cultural ambassador, bridging diplomacy and pop culture through the universal language of music.
