Daesung’s First Solo Concert in Korea
Daesung kicked off his D’s Wave 2025 Asia Tour with two sold-out shows on April 26 and 27, 2025, at the Olympic Hall in Seoul, South Korea. These concerts were his first solo performances in his home country, a milestone he had dreamed of for years. The shows featured tracks from his new mini-album, D’s Wave, including the energetic title track Universe, Last Girl featuring Han Yo Han, and JUMP.
Daesung also performed fan favorites like Falling Slowly, Light, and Baby Don’t Cry, showcasing his vocal range and stage presence. His ability to connect with the audience was evident, as he shared heartfelt moments with fans, known as VIPs. After the concerts, Daesung wrote a handwritten letter expressing gratitude.
This moment, which I had only dreamed of while watching Taeyang’s performance here last year, has finally come true. Thank you for making my dream a reality.
Surprise BIGBANG Reunion Steals the Show
The highlight of the concerts came when Taeyang and G-Dragon joined Daesung on stage, sparking a mini BIGBANG reunion. On April 26, Taeyang made a guest appearance, energizing the crowd with his charisma. The following night, April 27, both Taeyang and G-Dragon surprised fans by performing together with Daesung.
The trio delivered iconic BIGBANG hits, including Home Sweet Home, Bang Bang Bang, and Sober.

Recent BIGBANG Collaborations Fuel Excitement
This reunion follows a series of recent BIGBANG moments that have kept fans hopeful. In September 2024, G-Dragon and Daesung appeared at Taeyang’s The Light Year solo concert in Seoul, performing We Like 2 Party and Good Boy. On November 22, 2024, the trio released a collaboration single, Home Sweet Home, their first joint track since Still Life in 2022.
The next day, November 23, 2024, G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung reunited at the 2024 MAMA Awards in Osaka, Japan, performing Bang Bang Bang and Home Sweet Home. This marked their first MAMA performance in nine years, earning cheers from fans and fellow artists. G-Dragon also won the Music Visionary of the Year Award at the event.
Emotional Nod to Former Member T.O.P
During G-Dragon’s Übermensch concert in March 2025, Daesung and Taeyang joined him for an encore performance of Last Dance. When T.O.P’s verse played, Daesung shouted “T.O.P!” into the microphone, and G-Dragon mimicked T.O.P’s iconic pose. The moment moved fans to tears, as T.O.P left BIGBANG in 2023 after parting ways with YG Entertainment.
The three stood still during T.O.P’s part, listening quietly as the backing track also played his vocals. It was so emotional, I couldn’t stop crying.
This gesture highlighted the group’s respect for their former member and stirred nostalgia among VIPs. Some fans speculated about a possible reunion with T.O.P for BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary in 2026, though no confirmation has been made.
Daesung’s Asia Tour and Future Plans
Following the Seoul concerts, Daesung’s D’s Wave tour will continue across Asia, with stops in Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Hong Kong, Kobe, and Yokohama. Fans in these cities are eager to see if G-Dragon or Taeyang will make additional appearances.
Daesung’s growth as a solo artist was evident in Seoul, where he balanced high-energy performances with emotional ballads. His YouTube talk show, ZIP Daesung, also featured G-Dragon and Taeyang in a November 2024 episode, marking their first joint appearance since 2017.
BIGBANG’s Legacy and Fan Reactions
BIGBANG, formed in 2006 under YG Entertainment, is credited with spreading the Hallyu Wave globally. Known for hits like Fantastic Baby, Blue, and Bad Boy, the group broke barriers by charting on Billboard and shaping K-pop’s global rise. Originally a five-member group, Seungri left in 2019 after the Burning Sun scandal, and T.O.P departed in 2023.
Fans expressed overwhelming joy at the recent reunion. Social media posts highlighted the emotional impact of seeing G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung together.
