G-Dragon Media Exhibition: Ãœbermensch
K-pop legend G-Dragon’s travelling exhibition ‘Übermensch’ is coming to Osaka for just over two weeks. Billed as an experiential media art show that utilises cutting-edge digital technology – think voice interaction, holograms, media walls and the like – this multisensory exhibition will immerse you in G-Dragon’s creative universe.
The wildly popular exhibition debuted in Seoul this March and has since toured Taiwan and Tokyo, enjoying great success at every stop. Tickets for the Taiwan exhibition sold out within 20 minutes, while the Tokyo leg attracted around 10,000 visitors on its opening day alone.
The title ‘Übermensch’, meaning ‘superman’, is a philosophical concept coined by Friedrich Nietzsche. Inspired by this idea, the exhibition explores themes of self-expression, personal transformation and artistic transcendence.
The Osaka show will offer a new immersive experience distinct from Tokyo’s. You can still enjoy the special highball drinks that proved popular in Tokyo, as well as the special Dragon Bike exhibit, which doubles as a photo spot and is now a Japan-exclusive feature. Additionally, a shuttle bus called the Übermensch Express will between Umeda Station and the ATC (Asia-Pacific Trade Center) Hall, where the exhibition is held.
Tickets are available online via Trip.com.
