G-Dragon made a highly anticipated appearance on IU's popular program 'IU's Palette,' where he opened up about his long-awaited comeback and shared heartfelt moments with IU.

IU surprised fans by revealing she dressed in a style inspired by G-Dragon, sporting a scarf and skirt-shorts to match his unique fashion sense. 

When she asked about his outfit concept for the day, G-Dragon explained that he was emulating the look of a dress. He also addressed the long gap between his comebacks, saying that due to COVID-19 and his military service, it took nearly seven years—specifically 88 months—for him to return.

IU recalled the time when G-Dragon participated in the production of her song 'Palette,' expressing her gratitude for the 2008 vintage wine and other thoughtful gifts he had given her back then.

During the episode, G-Dragon gave a raw and intimate live performance of his new track 'BONAMANA,' sitting on the floor as he sang. He explained that even during his regular concerts, he often performs while sitting or lying down to create a more emotional connection with the audience.

G-Dragon also spoke about the meaning behind his comeback title track 'Übermensch,' saying the song is about "going beyond your human limits and continuing to challenge yourself."

When IU asked if he ever felt discouraged, G-Dragon responded that even if he faced moments of despair, he didn’t dwell on them. Surrounded by good people, he found strength to keep going.

In a heartfelt moment, G-Dragon admitted he came on Palette hoping to invite IU to collaborate. IU responded with stunning covers of G-Dragon’s 'That XX' and 'Butterfly,' impressing viewers and G-Dragon himself, who noted that IU might be the first artist to ever cover 'Butterfly.' He praised her for doing it beautifully.

The episode concluded with IU and G-Dragon unveiling a special 2025 version of 'Palette,' delighting fans and creating a memorable collaboration between two of Korea’s most beloved artists.
