• PUBG Mobile is set to collab with 'King of K-pop,' G-Dragon
  • The iconic artist will headline an upcoming event this month
  • Special offline events will take place in Korea and other real-life locations

For many K-pop fans, the name G-Dragon is likely to provoke either excitement or eye-rolling. It's hard not to have either extreme when it comes to an artist dubbed 'The king of K-pop,' but whatever else you can say about them, G-Dragon's popularity is certainly not in doubt. As their new collaboration with Krafton's hit battle royale, PUBG Mobile, aptly demonstrates!

First announced at a major new concert tour taking place in glitzy Las Vegas, this new collab will see G-Dragon headlining an in-game event coming September 19th. At the moment, details are scant, but Krafton promises that there is an upcoming full trailer set to show off exactly what we can expect.

Not only that, but in Korea, you can head to Seongsu, Seoul, for a special offline event! More are planned for fan sites across the globe, so stay tuned to see if PUBG Mobile is coming to a city near you.
