On the evening of November 29, G-Dragon (Big Bang) was one of the artists performing at the 2025 MAMA awards ceremony at Kai Tak Stadium, Hong Kong (China).
The male singer performed 3 songs Heartbreaker, Untitled, 2014 and Drama. However, the live voice performance of the Big Bang leader caused controversy.
Many opinions said that G-Dragon depends too much on the background voice, some audiences also commented that his live voice is unstable.
Because recent stages have made fans worried about G-Dragon's live singing form, his performance at this MAMA quickly became the focus of discussion.
After the awards ceremony, MAMA's official Instagram account posted some outstanding scenes of the performances. Under his performance video, G-Dragon left a comment with a dislike icon and a three-point mark.
According to Korean media, this could be a sign that G-Dragon was not satisfied with the way his performance was portrayed on screen. The male singer seems to have quickly realized the problems that fans are discussing.
However, fans also defended the male singer. They posted many live music videos of G-Dragon filmed on a phone close to the stage, proving that G-Dragon's live singing ability in reality was much better than the MAMA recording.
G-Dragon's "dislike" action reminded the online community of his shocking performance in 2014.
That year, at MAMA, in a performance of the series of hits "Eyes, Nose, Lips", "Good Boy" and "Fantastic Baby" with Taeyang, G-Dragon unexpectedly showed rap lyrics criticizing MAMA for the "division of awards" situation, with some participants.
The Big Bang leader left the organizers unable to react, and immediately cut his live TV performance.
After the awards ceremony, the male rapper even posted a rap written on paper on Instagram so that everyone could clearly see the intention of spinning MAMA.
That stage of G-Dragon is still considered a legendary performance, constantly being mentioned by the public every new MAMA season.
In other developments, G-Dragon won at this year's MAMA with 4 awards, including Daesang Artist of the Year, Best Male Artist, Best Male Sol dance performance and Top 10 Most Favorite male artists.
Not only participating in the performance, the male singer donated 1 million HKD (about 130,000 USD) to the Wang Fuk Court Support Fund in Tai Po, helping to overcome the consequences of the apartment fire and supporting the community in Hong Kong (China).
