G-DRAGON INTRODUCED AS THE NEW GLOBAL TIGER® BRAND AMBASSADOR
Who better to represent this bold side of Tiger® than G-DRAGON – leader of BIGBANG, a renowned South Korean artiste and international trendsetter at the forefront of music, fashion and culture. “I am proud to represent Tiger® – a brand known for its courageous spirit. Breaking barriers while remaining true to myself is one of the ways I resonate with Tiger®. Together, I hope we can inspire everyone to uncage their inner passions while remaining unafraid of what others might say,” said G-DRAGON, the Official Global Tiger® brand ambassador.
“As a brand born and brewed in Singapore, we take great pride in our Asian heritage and Tiger Soju Infused Lager represents our efforts to celebrate the richness of Asian culture. Tiger® has always been bold in defying conventions and courageous in pursuing creative innovations. Today, we continue to push boundaries and shape the future of beer and beyond with this latest innovation. With a bold twist on lager and an exciting fusion of flavours, Tiger® will inspire consumers to discover and immerse themselves in new experiences,” said Gerald Yeo, Marketing Director at Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore.
Now available in Singapore, Tiger Soju Infused Lager comes in two natural flavours — Gutsy Grape and Cheeky Plum — with an ABV of 5.5%. Experience the refreshing taste with a bold twist at all major supermarkets, convenience stores, and participating off-trade and online retail channels.
To celebrate the launch of Tiger Soju Infused Lager, Tiger® is inviting everyone to uncage their inner Tiger at Twist to the Night with Tiger Soju Infused Lager festival on 12th May 2023, 7pm. For one night only, revellers will be transported to a reimagined Asia at Pasir Panjang Power Station. Mystical yet familiar, recognisable yet foreign, the event will pay homage to all things Asia, offering a multi-sensory feast of elements across sight, scent, and sound.
Headlined by South Korean singer-songwriter, LeeHi, whose hit tracks include debut single “1.2.3.4” and “Red Lipstick”, the festival will feature an exciting line-up of the region’s hottest music acts. Known for going against the grain and defying convention to chase their passions, alternative K-pop group Balming Tiger, corporate office worker turned female rapper Ramengvrl, and local R&B trio brb. will give some 3,000 people in Singapore a night to remember.

With members of varied age, background, and talents, the diverse group is united in their passion for developing an unconventional style. Joining forces with RM of BTS, Balming Tiger dropped their single ‘Sexy Nukim’ last year and fans are eagerly looking forward to their debut album in 2023.
