K-Pop icon G-Dragon is set to light up the Hong Kong stage soon with his highly anticipated “Übermensch” World Tour — but that’s not all. Fans can also look forward to his art-meets-technology media exhibition, opening next week at Harbour City.
The G-DRAGON MEDIA EXHIBITION: Übermensch promises an immersive experience like no other, giving fans a chance to step into the artist’s visionary world that blends music, art, and pure genius. The exhibition will run from Aug. 15 to Sept. 7 at Level 4, Ocean Centre, and Ground Floor, Atrium I, Gateway Arcade of Harbour City Mall.

The exhibition first launched in Seoul last March to accompany GD’s latest album release, and was created in collaboration with content solution company Creative Mut (MUT)and G-Dragon’s agency, Galaxy Corporation. Itinstantly became a viral hit among fans and amassed over 55,000 visitors, all of whom were pleasantly surprised by its next-level tech — from artificial intelligence (AI), real-time holograms, augmented reality (VR), and CG made with Unreal Engine, a next-generation 3D solution, which gives the illusion of being face-to-face with the artist.
One of the main highlights is the VR cinema space that presented the “Take Me” music video, making it feel as if GD is giving you a one-on-one performance right before your very eyes! Now that sounds better than being at one of his concerts!

The exhibit will also have multiple 5G-powered hologram projectors that will bring lifelike performances of his singles “Take Me” and “IBelongIIU,” special art installations like the “Daisy Garden,” and exclusive exhibition merchandise flown in from Korea, which will be available for sale on site.
Also, rumor has it that the Hong Kong exhibit will feature double-sided LED screens arranged along a corridor, which will be paired with immersive sound design that intends to make guests feel as if G-Dragon himself is guiding them through his creative world.

Ever wondered what coffee might taste like in the future? Blue Bottle Coffee has an answer, and it has nothing to do with your favorite Arabica. This October, the cult-favorite roaster reintroduces its exclusive Blue Bottle Studio experience to Hong Kong, inviting guests into a sensory journey that’s as much about the future of coffee as it is about flavor.
Running from Oct. 1 to 26, 2025, the Studio takes over Blue Bottle’s Wan Chai café with a reservation-only, 90-minute tasting session curated for just six guests at a time. The theme, “The Future of Coffee,” explores lesser-known species, Liberica and Excelsa, chosen for their climate resilience and striking flavor profiles.

Liberica, with its deep roots and natural drought resistance, thrives in warm, low-altitude climates, offering farmers a more stable crop in the face of climate change. But it’s the flavor that steals the show. With notes of blueberry, jackfruit,and roasted barley tea, it’s wrapped in a rounded sweetness that’s both elegant and tropical.
Excelsa, Liberica’s botanical cousin, adds a lively twist with notes of guava, banana, and subtle spice, bringing playful complexity to the cup. Together, they offer a glimpse into a more sustainable, diverse, and imaginative coffee landscape.
The experience includes six drinks and two sweets, crafted by Blue Bottle founder James Freeman and coffee visionary Benjamin Brewer, with desserts by acclaimed pastry chefs Yuichi Goto and Kazuhiro Nakamura. Highlights include a Vietnamese Liberica with barley tea notes, a Malaysian Liberica with tropical florals, and an Indian Excelsa transformed into house-made instant coffee. There’s even a nod to Japanese kissaten culture with a “Nel Drip” brew served black and au lait.

Guests are guided through the lifecycle of coffee, from leaf to cherry to seed, engaging all five senses in a narrative that’s educational and indulgent. It’s a rare chance to taste coffees that may define the next generation of brewing, all while seated in a minimalist, gallery-like setting that brings back your memories in Kyoto.
Tickets are priced at HK$780, including a HK$200 café credit, and are available Fridays through Sundays and select public holidays. Reservations can be made via Eventbrite.
Book your seat at Blue Bottle Studio and experience coffee’s next chapter. For more information, follow Blue Bottle Coffee Hong Kong’s Instagram and Facebook.

Hong Kong-based charity More Good, known for providing high-quality, nutritious meals to those in need, is set to host its first-ever charity event at the prestigious Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club.
The inaugural “More Golf More Good” Charity Golf Classic invites you to make every swing count on Oct. 9, 2025, where More Good will bring the same vibrant energy to the course, leveraging their network of chefs, creatives, educators, and food and beverage experts to create unique and engaging experiences for everyone.
Participants can expect a day packed with tournament games followed by a gala dinner that will highlight food and drinks from their F&B partners, as well as special moments from their sponsors and donors. The gala dinner will showcase dishes from culinary stars, including Michelin-awarded chefs from community partners such as Yardbird and Ando, drinks from Asia’s No. 1 bar, Bar Leone, as well as special moments from confirmed generous partners Marshall and Nomad Caviar.
“We are delighted to host the More Golf More Good Charity Golf Classic at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club. More Good is a valued charity partner, and this event reflects our shared commitment to supporting those in need,” said Dr. Jack WK Wong, Chairman of The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club.
This event’s immediate goal is to achieve its fundraising target and increase weekly meal output by 25% throughout the 2025/26 period.
“This isn’t just about golf,” said Timothy King, Co-Founder of More Good. “We hope to make the More Golf More Good Charity Golf Classic more than just an annual fundraiser, but represent our commitment to nourishing our most vulnerable communities here in Hong Kong. Every swing will help us expand our meal services and make a real difference in our community.”

Born in 2022 in Yardbird’s kitchen during the height of the pandemic, More Good has since grown from a small community effort into a full-blown organization supported by a dedicated group of volunteers, chefs, and supporters who all share the same belief: that everyone deserves access to nutritious, flavorful food. The charity has since prepared and distributed over 110,00 meals to the elderly, refugees, homeless, and low-income families, and this upcoming fundraiser aims to embody that same spirit of creativity and care as the previous More Good events — this time coming to the fairways of one of Asia’s most spectacular courses designed by five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson.
Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to play a good round of golf while helping those in need.
More Good is currently open to sponsorships, brand partnerships, prize donations, and volunteer applications. You can find more information here or contact them via email at golf@moregoodhk.com. Those who wish to get more hands-on can also sign up to volunteer with More Good beyond this event here.

On Oct. 10, 2025, Hong Kong’s Southorn Stadium will transform into a melting pot of adrenaline, grit, and global talent as The Encounter 2 returns with a stacked card and a mission to put Hong Kong on the map as Asia’s rising combat sports capital.
Organized by Verano Promotions, the event's first edition was held last year at PMQ, marking the return of professional boxing to the city after a five-year hiatus.
The second iteration of the high-impact series promises a night of electrifying professional boxing. With doors opening at 5 PM and the first fight starting at 5:30 PM, fans can expect a full evening of title fights, international rivalries, breakout performances, and entertainment, including dancing showcases from Hong Kong Taurus, a local cheerleading team.
Courtesy of The Encounter
On the event’s expansion, Adam Brough of Verano Promotions shared, “It’s a 2,000-seater stadium, so the scale has grown, and we’re getting more international fighters in.” He also emphasized the elevated standards of the production, adding that they are “bringing professional standards: WBO-sanctioned rules and certified judges. This is professional fighting for champions.”
Headlining the event is Saagar Pradhan, Hong Kong’s 24-year-old boxing prodigy of Nepalese descent, defending his WBO Youth Asia Pacific Super Welterweight Title against India’s Gaurav Bisht. It’s Pradhan’s first home fight since his knockout win at PMQ. The stakes are high, with his unbeaten record and two knockouts in six matches since he turned professional in 2023.
“Being a professional boxer in Hong Kong is tough,” said Pradhan, who ranks 13th in the WBO Asia-Pacific, during a sparring session at Verano Boxing Club. “We sparred at least 96 rounds over the last month in Hong Kong and China with different sparring partners, including my teammates from the Philippines.”
Website/The EncounterPhoto by The Beat Asia
On defending his title in his hometown, the 24-year-old added, “I was born and raised in Hong Kong, so it’d be an honor for my family and friends to come down and support me in defending my belt, which is also a big achievement.”
The co-main event features Scotland’s Colin Cairney versus India’s Trijot Singh Bawa for the vacant WBO Youth International Welterweight Title, adding another layer of international tension to the night.
Beyond the title fights, the undercard showcases regional talent. Local fighters like Brondell Medina and Lee Ka Wing will be joined by athletes from Macau, Mainland China, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

“We fought at PMQ last year, which was big, but Southorn Stadium is a proper venue,” said 20-year-old Brondell Medina, who will be competing in his first professional match. “I’m excited to fight in front of the hometown fans, and I expect the noise in the stadium to boost me and give me a lot of energy.”
The Encounter 2 has established itself as a statement of the boxing scene in the city. With WBO-sanctioned titles and a diverse lineup, it’s a celebration of athleticism, identity, and the raw thrill of competition.
Tickets range from HK$200 to HK$550. Get your tickets now via Ticketflap or Pyjama. Apply the promo code BEAT15 at checkout for an exclusive 15% discount.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to dust off your lightstick and scream your lungs out, this is most probably it. K-Pop’s metaverse queens, aespa, are officially heading to Hong Kong as part of their 2025–2026 “SYNK: aeXIS LINE” world tour!
Instagram/ aespa

The tour kicks off in Seoul in late August 2025 before sweeping through Bangkok on November 15 and 16, 2025, Japan, and Jakarta, eventually landing in Hong Kong for two nights of pure pop adrenaline. After their Hong Kong stop, the group will head to Macau’s Galaxy Arena on March 7 and 8, continuing their domination of Asia’s biggest stages.
Instagram/ aespa
aespa, made up of Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning, debuted under SM Entertainment in 2020 and quickly carved out a niche with their AI-powered concept and genre-bending sound. Hits like “Next Level,” “Drama,” and “Spicy” have cemented their place as one of K-pop’s most innovative acts.
Musically, aespa blends hyperpop, EDM, and dance-pop with a futuristic edge that mirrors their digital alter egos and metaverse-inspired storytelling. Their tracks often feature layered synths, glitchy textures, and bold transitions, creating a soundscape that’s as unpredictably addictive. Whether it’s the bass-heavy swagger of “Savage” or the shimmering hooks of “Supernova,” aespa’s sonic identity is both experimental and unmistakably modern.
