G-Dragon has abruptly cancelled his upcoming concert in Bangkok, Thailand, sparking a wave of frustration and backlash from global fans.
The concert was part of his highly anticipated world tour 'Übermensch' and was scheduled to take place on August 2 at Rajamangala National Stadium. The announcement came just three weeks before the planned event, with no official ticket sales having taken place.
On July 11, G-Dragon’s agency Galaxy Corporation issued a statement through its official channels: “We deeply regret to inform you that the Bangkok concert scheduled for August 2 has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We sincerely apologize to the fans who have been waiting, and we look forward to meeting our Thai fans again in the future.”
However, the agency did not provide a specific reason for the cancellation, which has only intensified dissatisfaction among fans.
Many supporters had already booked flights, accommodations, and taken time off work to attend the concert. With no explanation or compensation offered, criticism of Galaxy Corporation’s handling has continued to grow.
This incident reflects ongoing concerns among fans regarding the agency’s management of G-Dragon’s tour. Problems have been reported throughout the world tour, starting with the kickoff concert in March at Goyang Stadium in Seoul, which began 73 minutes late. In cities such as Macau, Sydney, and Hong Kong, fans raised concerns over insufficient venue sizes and a packed performance schedule, including three consecutive shows.
Recently, fans organized truck protests to voice their dissatisfaction. The fandom has accused Galaxy Corporation of mishandling tour operations while disproportionately featuring CEO Choi Yong Ho during G-Dragon’s official activities. Critics argue that the company appears to be prioritizing corporate promotion over the artist’s success, with some speculating that these efforts are linked to a potential push toward stock market listing.
As frustration continues to mount, fans are demanding transparency, accountability, and a stronger commitment to artist-centered management.
