‘No thanks’—fans poke fun as K-pop star G-Dragon announces his third studio album, ‘Übermensch,’ dropping February 25

It's about time: K-pop legend G-Dragon is making his comeback. BIGBANG frontman and soloist G-Dragon announced that his third studio album, Übermensch, drops on February 25. Naturally, the new release marks his first full-length in years, and the fans had a lot to say about it.

But whereas some people hyped up his return, others. well, let's just say they reacted differently. The internet wasted no time in making his album announcement a meme fest, and in the snap of a finger, it was one of the most chaotic K-pop moments in recent memory.

G-Dragon's Album Announcement Goes Viral for All the Wrong Reasons

When news of Übermensch broke, it should have been a triumphant moment for G-Dragon fans. Instead, his post was met with a tidal wave of unserious reactions that raised eyebrows and sparked confusion. An announcement he made on social media quickly took on a life of its own as K-pop stans and casual listeners alike flooded the comment section full of truly unhinged takes.

What should have been a straightforward album announcement turned into an unintentional meme factory. Some questioned why the post even existed, others acted like they had never heard of G Dragon (a bold claim in K-pop circles), and a few took the opportunity to throw in some completely random shade. Before long, the comments were filled with a mix of sarcasm, confusion, and classic internet trolling.

Of course, no viral moment is complete without some A+ reactions, and this one did not disappoint. One fan dramatically declared, "Cardi will finally be ended,"

while another bluntly stated, "We won’t be streaming."

The skepticism was strong in the comments, with one person asking, "Did he pay for this post?"

and another demanding, "Stop promoting these random people."

Someone even attempted to erase K-pop history entirely by saying, "We don’t know him tho."

Perhaps the most philosophical response of all was, "What’s the G stand for? Cause uhh?"

While these comments might sound brutal, longtime fans know that G Dragon has always had a love-hate relationship with internet culture.

He’s no stranger to trending for the most unexpected reasons, and if anything, this only proves that his influence is still alive and well. After all, getting the internet to collectively roast you? That’s a skill in itself.

G-Dragon’s Übermensch is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about K-pop releases of the year whether for the music itself or the hilarious online reaction. Love him or pretend not to know him, one thing’s for sure: his return is impossible to ignore.

Now, whether the people dropping these comments will secretly stream the album on release day? That’s a mystery for another time. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that the louder the noise, the bigger the impact.

He has always thrived in unpredictability, and if this is any indication of what’s to come, Übermensch might just shake things up more than anyone expected. One viral post, a flood of memes, and an artist who continues to be a conversation starter classic G-Dragon.
