G-Dragon Set to Make a Grand Return at the 2024 MAMA Awards
The King is back! G-Dragon, one of OG in K-pop, is gearing up for a return to the stage at the 2024 MAMA Awards—and fans couldn’t be more excited.
On October 22, the MAMA Awards dropped their third wave of performers, and the K-pop world went wild when G-Dragon’s name was revealed. The BIGBANG frontman is set to perform on November 23 at Japan’s Kyocera Dome, marking his first appearance at the MAMAs in nine years!
But that’s not all—he’s in good company. (G)-IDLE, BIBI, BOYNEXTDOOR, and PLAVE are also on the star-studded lineup, making this year’s awards show one for the books.
G-Dragon’s upcoming performance is extra special since it’s his first MAMA stage since 2015, when he last rocked the show with his fellow BIGBANG members. The K-pop icon has kept fans on their toes, recently posting a cryptic black image on social media with the caption “beyond-black,” fueling major comeback rumors—and now, it’s confirmed.
As the leader of BIGBANG and a true K-pop pioneer, G-Dragon (aka Kwon Ji-yong) has been a driving force in the industry, earning his crown as the “King of K-pop.” Whether it’s through his chart-topping hits, fashion-forward looks, or trendsetting influence, G-Dragon always knows how to make waves.
With the 2024 MAMA Awards running from November 21 to 23, fans are eagerly counting down the days to see what surprises G-Dragon has in store for his long-awaited comeback performance.
