"Mother and Father of K-pop"— Fans thrilled as 2NE1's CL makes a surprise appearance at G-Dragon's Übermensch 2025 World Tour in Korea

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, G-Dragon rolled out the first concert of his solo world tour, Übermensch, in South Korea at the Goyang Stadium. For his opening night, the idol also invited his fellow artist and friend 2NE1's CL for a guest appearance. The two performed the tracks Ride or Die (R.O.D) and Leaders at the venue, and fans naturally went wild over the same.

R.O.D is a collaborative track between G-Dragon and Lydia Paek, released in 2013. The Leaders, on the other hand, was another collaborative track between the K-pop soloist and CL, with Teddy as the producer, and it was released in 2016.

Additionally, fans were thrilled to see the two veteran K-pop idols take the stage together after a long time. While fans loved CL's surprise appearance in G-Dragon's latest concert, this wasn't the first time she had opened the idol's tour.
