What Does Übermensch Mean?

Galaxy Corporation

Übermensch is a concept introduced by Nietzsche, referring to the ideal and superior man of the future—one who transcends traditional Christian morality. It’s a widely recognized philosophical term. The Übermensch creates his own higher, more modern values, much like Kwon Jiyong, who challenges the system while upholding his strong morals and humanity.

A Legendary Comeback

It’s great to see GD returning to K-pop after such a long time. As always, he continues to push the boundaries of visual art, music, and fashion—one of the many reasons he remains beloved by Korean netizens and is often hailed as the king of the genre.

It’s been 11 years since his last solo comeback, and he was truly missed. Seeing a new generation of K-pop fans discover one of the pioneers of the industry will be interesting, especially given the false narratives about his personality and lifestyle that have circulated online, particularly on X. Long-time fans from the "golden generation" of K-pop remember his sweet and humble nature, which earned him the title of one of the most respectful idols.

We’ll be keeping an eye on how Übermensch performs on the charts, as it was just recently released. One thing is certain—G-Dragon is bound to dominate the Korean charts once again.

Updates

  • Update: G-Dragon becomes the first solo male act to debut straight at #1 on MelOn TOP100.
