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.

Stand-up comedian MaitreyiKaranth is a firm fixture in Hong Kong’s comedy scene, regularly performing — and often selling out — at comedy venues around the city. She’s frequently not just the only female comedian to take the mic, but also the only South Asian. Her recent show MAITRIARCHY marks her status as the first woman to headline a solo theatre comedy show in Hong Kong.
Maitreyi previously worked in finance and education and still wears many hats as poet, producer, philanthropist, actor, and writer. On stage, she has shared the spotlight with internationally recognized comedians including Tom Cotter, Gina Yashere, and Atul Khatri.
MAITRIARCHY, which showed at the Hong Kong Arts Center on Sunday Jan 4, 2026, featured an all-star lineup kicked off by the bilingual comedy legend VivekMahbubani, and supported by comedy standouts Mohammed Magdi and Ryan Hynek.
The Beat Asia caught up with Maitreyi ahead of the show and her upcoming Australia tour to throw a few hard-hitting questions her way about her style of comedy, what inspired her to write MAITRIARCHY, and what to expect from the rest of her tour.
Website/ Backstage Comedy
Hi Maitreyi! Tell us about yourself. Why did you decide to start this chapter in stand-up comedy?
My friend Aaron Michelson shared a flyer with me for an open mic. He was confident in my sense of humor, writing abilities, and draw to the stage and spotlight, and I was fueled by my insatiable sense of adventure, so I thought, “Why not?”
I’m not quite sure if inspire is the right word to describe my road to the stage and adventure in comedy. I’d say it was a combination of loving laughter, me making others laugh, and serendipity or as others say, kismet.
Where do you get inspiration for your material?
Inspiration is everywhere! My travels, my family, current events, my animals. Laughter is such a big part of life, we don’t realize how much material is around us.
How would you describe your style of comedy?
I didn’t want to be known as one kind of comedian. I am a very travelled, experienced woman in life. I take people on a roller coaster ride of my midlife crisis, my travels, and I always end the set roasting my husband.
What can audiences expect from MATRIARCHY?
Courtesy of Maitreyi Karanth
MATRIARCHY, as the name suggests, is a blend of my name Maitreyi, and the fact that I am the only female comedian in HK doing a one-woman solo show, hence Matriarch.
It is a brand-new show with 70 percent new material and 30percentgoldenoldies that always rock. They can expect an hour of laughter and to walk out feeling empowered.
What inspired you to write this one-woman show?
Courtesy of Maitreyi Karanth
The name MAITRIARCHY is very special to me. At home, it’s always been a matriarchy, and so with the play with my name, Maitreyi seemed apt! However, in the comedy scene, it took me a while to become a matriarch. To carve a place for myself. I felt it was time for this show to come to light.
Full credit to TambyChan who actually gave this name to one of his shows where I was headlining. I asked him, if I ever do a big show could I take this name, and he said sure!
Your show in Hong Kong kicks off an Australian tour. What can you tell us about the tour?
Yes, I will be performing at the Melbourne Comedy Festival from April 7 to April 19, 2026. It will be this solo show, MAITRIARCHY.
Since it’s a brand-new audience, I will have the freedom to dig into all of my old and new material and change it up when I want to in these two weeks. I performed in Melbourne and Sydney 2 months ago and now have an idea of what works there. Since my comedy is not just one thing, I have a lot of material to go by.
Great to see that Vivek Mahbubani is opening for you. What’s it like to see South Asian voices doing so well in the comedy scene in Hong Kong?
Courtesy of Maitreyi Karanth
It's always a privilege to represent your community. I have so many men and women from the community who come up to me and express their pride in the representation.
You’re the first woman to perform a solo comedy show in Hong Kong – congratulations! How have you made it work?
I went from being the only woman in thecomedy club roster to being the first woman in HK to have a solocomedyshow. It has been a lonely but incredibly satisfying journey.
When I first started at the comedy club, I did feel the heat of being the only woman there, but I dug my heels in, wrote more, got better, and prioritized my relationship with the audience until I could not be ignored anymore by the comedy community. I hope there will be other women following in my footsteps, of course.
What has been the most memorable or challenging performance of your career so far?
The most memorable performance was for a charity event by Splash Foundation. [The audience] were 100 Filipino and Indonesian helpers, and their coaches and captains.
They loved every single joke and laughed their hearts out. To give to these hardworking wonderful women was very memorable.
I also performed for United Nations anniversary year in Bangkok. This was with 5 other comics from around Asia, and 6 of us from different countries: Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, New Zealand, Thailand and India.
This was the first time I was performing with comics from different countries. There was so much camaraderie among us, it was a very unique experience.
What drives you as a comedian and performer?
My love for the stage comes naturally to me. I often say that the world is my stage, and my family would agree! Audiencefeedback is what drives me as a comedian. As a performer, the joy I feel when I hold the mic, walk around the stage and make eye contact with my audience is unparalleled. It’s almost as if my world comes together in that moment.
Do you get nervous before you go on stage? What do you do to calm your nerves?
Courtesy of Maitreyi Karanth
I get nervous a few hours before, but when I am going up on stage I am always very excited and there is no need to calm the excitement. I want to just enjoy being up there! The light is there so you can shine!
What did your family think of you making such a leap from a solid business career to becoming a comedian?
My family is extremely supportive. They all know who I am completely. They know if I want to do something, I will put my all into it, or I won’t start it at all. They always wanted me to do something with my talents. My mom always said she felt bad that I couldn’t be who I wanted to be when I was a child. She is very happy to see me step into the light.
What advice would you give to aspiring comedians, particularly women?
To respect the craft, to write, to focus on stagepresence and making a style that is their own. When you run after viral videos, copy styles and jokes it will only take you so far. It might sound old school but build your own stage!
Even if you get famous online, people eventually will come to see you live! We have open mics at Aftermath, Bar 109, Nook, etc. You can go in anytime. People are friendly. I am so happy to take on a mentorship role, I am a natural teacher and it fills me with great joy sharing experiences and tips.
You also run a charity KOMA Karanth Foundation, can you tell us a bit about the work you do there?
KOMA KARANTH FOUNDATION is something I started during COVID. We build homes for the poor in the Philippines, make free lunches for the tribal kids, give scholarships for university, etc. We have built 43 houses to date!
All my earnings go to the charity. In fact, I started funding the charity in the beginning with my one-woman shows.
Looking ahead, what are your plans for 2026?
2026 is starting great! I am producing the Troy Kinne show in March and then [have] the Melbourne Comedy Festival [coming up] in April. No plans for after that, but I know it will be great! I will go with the flow.

If you were looking forward to ringing in the New Year with a bang at Victoria Harbour, we may have some unfortunate news. The Hong Kong Tourism Board has announced that the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display has been cancelled.
The decision was confirmed through an official government statement released on Dec. 17. While no specific reason was given, the cancellation is believed to be linked to the recent tragedy in Tai Po last month.
However, that doesn’t mean that the event is completely scrapped. The New Year Countdown on Dec. 31, 2025 will be moved to Chater Road pedestrian zone in Central, with full event details to be announced soon.
Fireworks displays at Victoria Harbour have long been a highlight of Hong Kong’s festive calendar, regularly drawing massive crowds and international attention. From the Lunar New Year fireworks to the New Year’s Eve countdown shows that span large sections of the harbour front, these spectacles have become must-see events for both locals and visitors.
This year may feel a little different, but it’s still far too early to say that New Year’s Eve is ruined. Who knows? The upcoming lineup of celebrations might just surprise us and more than make up for what’s missing.
And if you’re truly set on witnessing a spectacular fireworks display, Hong Kong Disneyland is pulling out all the stops with its New Year’s Eve Countdown Party, complete with dazzling fireworks and immersive projections lighting up the Castle of Magical Dreams — an enchanting way to ring in the new year on a high note.
