8Wonder Makes the Impossible Possible, Bringing G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] to Vietnam
Vietnam Secures a True “World Tour”
Following “earthquakes” across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, the WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] by the King of K-Pop, G-DRAGON, is officially set to touch down at 8Wonder Ocean City – Vinhomes Ocean Park 3.
For millions of fans, it’s thrilling news, for industry professionals, it represents a genuine upheaval. Realizing a world-class tour of this caliber demands an organizer to navigate a chain of rigorous processes, often taking years. This includes negotiating schedules, meeting international-standard requirements for sound systems, adopting the original tour’s modular stage design, and ensuring absolute security. Every single detail requires partnership with the world’s leading experts.
While developed countries often have ready-made concert infrastructure, organizers in Vietnam must undertake new investment or “tailor-make” facilities to meet these global benchmarks. Despite hosting several top-tier global stars over the years, no Vietnamese organizer had previously met the necessary conditions to stage a true, internationally standardized world tour.
Dr. Bui Quoc Viet, former member of the Independent Consulting Council of the Vietnam Tourism Association, commented: “For a real world tour by a global star to choose Vietnam, the organizer needs more than strong financial capacity. Crucially, they must demonstrate proven management expertise, brand credibility, risk management capability, and the ability to meet international service standards for hundreds of thousands of spectators. This is a challenge not merely of finance, but of vision and corporate reputation.”
This reality held true, until 8Wonder, Vingroup’s mega-festival brand, stepped in.
“If Not 8Wonder, No One Could Have Done It”
Leveraging formidable potential and the professional support of the Vingroup ecosystem, 8Wonder successfully surpassed every exacting condition to put Vietnam on the map for the G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch], opening a new chapter for the national entertainment industry.
Despite entering the industry just three years ago, 8Wonder has rapidly amassed a powerful portfolio, successfully bringing artists like Charlie Puth, Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, J Balvin, DJ Snake, and The Kid Laroi to Vietnam. Crucially, 8Wonder has consistently taken the lead in elevating the scale and standards of organization, personnel management, stage design, and the integration of travel, dining, and entertainment experiences.
Season after season, 8Wonder has relentlessly raised the bar, achieving the stature of a global organizer and becoming a “signature festival” in Asia, ultimately securing a coveted spot for Vietnam on the 2025 World Tour [Übermensch] itinerary.
Performance Art Researcher Dinh Tien Dat explains 8Wonder’s rapid maturity: “8Wonder possesses a dual advantage from its parent Group: financial clout, international-standard operational experience, and a large-scale tourism-entertainment-service ecosystem capable of integrating diverse experiences. This has allowed 8Wonder to transform every concert into a pinnacle event, where the audience can enjoy music, tourism, cuisine, and shopping synchronously in one space. That is something no other organizer in Vietnam has been able to achieve.”
“Vingroup’s reputation in the region and globally is a reliable assurance that meets the essential criteria top-tier global stars demand. If not 8Wonder, no one could have done it,” Dr. Bui Quoc Viet concurred.
The New Frontier for Vietnam’s Entertainment Industry
More than just a world-class international concert, G-DRAGON and his team’s selection of Vietnam as a tour destination validates the credibility and allure of a Vietnamese brand, simultaneously opening the door to the influx of future international world tours.
The most visible impact is the ripple effect it will create for tourism and services. Experts predict that a concert of this magnitude can attract hundreds of thousands of attendees, including a significant percentage of international visitors, creating unlimited promotional value for an image of a young, dynamic, integrated, and attractive Vietnam in the eyes of the world.
Beyond the immediate boost to tourism and services, this event reflects a clear paradigm shift in the Vietnamese entertainment industry: moving from passive reception to proactive standard-setting, confidently leading professional, large-scale organizational models. Crucially, 8Wonder creates opportunities for Vietnamese producers and artists to collaborate directly with international teams, helping to elevate Vietnamese music and establish a new standing, positioning Vietnam as a convergence point for contemporary world art and culture.
The greatest expectation among experts is that this first world tour will become a “Big Bang” to propel the national entertainment industry to a new echelon.
“When a world-class world tour chooses Vietnam, we not only elevate the entertainment sector but also contribute to nation-brand positioning, showcasing Vietnam’s readiness to embrace global cultural and economic flows,” emphasized specialist Dinh Tien Dat.
Dr. Bui Quoc Viet also believes that the success of bringing the G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] to Vietnam has paved the way, establishing a foundation for the sustainable development of Vietnam’s cultural industry. He hopes that by maintaining the quality and frequency of world tour organization, following the door opened by the “pioneer” Vingroup, Vietnam can absolutely become a “concert destination” on par with Singapore or Bangkok.
On November 8th, when the lights of the G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] illuminate Ocean City, it will be more than a musical moment. It will be a landmark declaration that Vietnam is ready to become the new entertainment hub of Asia, ushering in an era of international-level concerts and world tours bearing the distinct mark of Vietnamese intellect.

The Reality of the Raya Rush
The lead-up to Raya is a whirlwind of grocery runs, deep cleaning, and late nights in the kitchen. By the time the first open house begins, most women have already put in an incredible amount of effort for their families. The quiet moments in between are not just a break. They are earned.
XIXILI’s pajamas are made for those moments. Easy to move in, soft enough to wear through the night, and the kind of pieces that make coming home feel like something to look forward to. Designed to fit a wide range of body types, every woman can find something that feels as good as it looks.
“Raya is everything. The food, the family, the laughter. And at the end of it all, she deserves to rest just as well as she celebrated,” says Tara Tan, Marketing Director at XIXILI.
Comfort That Carries Through the Season
Raya may bring the occasion, but the shift happening in Malaysian wardrobes goes further than that. Women are increasingly treating sleepwear as a considered part of their self-care, not just something to change into before bed.
“We often talk about the joy of gathering, but we rarely talk about the exhaustion that comes with it,” Tara Tan adds. “Our goal for Raya 2026 is to ensure that when the last guest leaves, every woman has a high-quality piece of loungewear to retreat into. It is about honouring the work she does by giving her the rest she deserves.”
Quality loungewear for the wind-down, the slow morning, and every quiet moment in between has become one of the most considered purchases a woman makes this season.
Made to Be Worn, Not Just Owned
Good sleepwear should not sit tucked away at the back of a drawer. It should be the first thing she reaches for at the end of a long day, worn in and looked forward to. XIXILI’s range is built for exactly that, styles that settle naturally into her routine and carry her well beyond the festive season.
The full sleepwear collection is available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. To shop the range, visit www.xixili-intimates.com.Hashtag: #XIXILI

Specifically, in addition to the existing incentives currently available, customers who switch from old gasoline vehicles to new VinFast electric vehicles during the program period will receive an additional 3% discount for cars and 5% discount for scooters. The program will be applied across all four markets: Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
In line with VinFast’s pioneering spirit, GSM Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company has also announced an immediate 10% reduction in fares for electric mobility services on the Xanh SM platform in Vietnam and Green SM in Indonesia from March 11 to March 31, 2026. This initiative offers customers a more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective transportation option.
The program may be extended depending on international developments and future fuel price movements.
Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales, VinFast, stated: “The special ‘Trade Gas for Electric’ program launched in March across four key markets is VinFast’s timely response to geopolitical volatility that is affecting socio-economic conditions in many countries around the world. As one of the pioneering manufacturers leading the global electric vehicle revolution, VinFast together with companies in Vingroup’s green ecosystem aims to help reduce the impact of fuel prices on people’s daily lives while also lowering environmental pollution through smarter, more sustainable, and more cost-efficient mobility solutions.”
The special “Trade Gas for Electric” program will be implemented in parallel with and combined with other available incentive programs in each market. Through layered incentives, Vingroup and companies within its ecosystem aim to create favorable conditions for customers to transition quickly to electric vehicles, reduce dependence on gasoline, stabilize daily life, and contribute to building a cleaner and more civilized living environment.
