A teaser was posted on G-Dragon’s official fan social media channels on October 21, containing a black image and the caption “beyond-black”. The post also included hashtags such as #hiddengem and #GDRAGON2024, supposedly teasing upcoming solo music from the veteran K-pop idol.

Several fans discovered that the words “Loading… Progress: 10%” are included in the image upon increasing its brightness. However, no official comeback announcement has been made by G-Dragon and his team as of writing. More details are expected in the coming months.

The teaser comes months after his label confirmed that G-Dragon would be making his long-awaited comeback “in the second half of this year”. At the time, the agency also said that the K-pop star would also be “carrying out global activities and activities in Japan” as part of his comeback. No update about solo music has been provided since.

G-Dragon’s last solo release was his self-titled EP ‘Kwon Ji-yong’ in 2017. The K-pop idol first debuted as a member of K-pop boyband Big Bang in 2006, before launching a solo career in 2009 with his debut studio album ‘Heartbreaker’.

Next month, G-Dragon is slated to perform at this year’s MAMA Awards, specifically at the November 23 ceremony in Osaka. It will notably be the K-pop icon’s first appearance at the awards ceremony in nine years, after Big Bang’s 2015 performance at the event.
