G-Dragon and Karina / Captured from teaser video for "TOO BAD"
By KTimes
Aespa member Karina is gaining attention for supporting G-Dragon’s latest release.
On Saturday, G-Dragon unveiled a teaser video for "TOO BAD," the lead single of his upcoming third full-length album "Übermensch," set for release on Feb. 25.
"TOO BAD" has already generated global buzz, especially thanks to G-Dragon's collaboration with Anderson .Paak. The American singer-songwriter, rapper and drummer of Korean descent teamed up with Bruno Mars in 2021 to form the R&B supergroup Silk Sonic. Their debut single hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and in 2022, they took home both Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the Grammys.
In the teaser, G-Dragon takes the stage, surrounded by partygoers, marking the official start of the party. A short but energetic preview of "TOO BAD" plays, with an upbeat, rhythmic sound that makes listeners want to dance. The video then shifts to a series of stylish and playful scenes, showcasing G-Dragon's unique fashion sense. His outfits — ranging from a black jacket with red checkered details to a red jacket paired with leather pants, a polka-dot robe and a yellow ensemble with bold black patterns — further enhance the visual appeal.
Karina’s special appearance is particularly noteworthy. Towards the end of the teaser, she is seen standing in front of a blue car, waiting for G-Dragon. Meanwhile, G-Dragon adjusts his shirt, seemingly preparing to meet her, adding an element of mystery to the music video’s storyline.
G-Dragon is set to hold his “G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] IN KOREA presented by Coupang Play” on March 29 and 30 at Goyang Sports Complex, with both concerts starting at 6:30 p.m.
