G-Dragon's global tour Ubermensch is holding its final performances at Gocheok Sky Dome Stadium (Seoul, South Korea).
In a recent performance, G-Dragon suddenly asked the audience: "Is there anything that makes people feel controversial today? If there is, I apologize.
Even so, I hope everyone will sympathize with me. I'm just doing what I need to do and trying my best. If you don't like it, I have to accept it."
The male singer continued to express his thoughts: "I was surprised that the controversy arose at this time, after 19 years in the profession".
When fans in the stands shouted Perfect!, G-Dragon replied: Its definitely not perfect. I also have many stages that I feel regretful about.
Today too, I dare not say it is perfect, but just work hard every day. Everything depends on my condition, and today it is at a "temporary stable" level. I can like it.
Previously, G-Dragon was met with criticism for having problems with his live performances many times.
Last year, he returned to the year-end summary stage on public television for the first time in 8 years, at the SBS Gayo Daejeon event, but was criticized for his out of date singing and difficult-to-listen pronunciation due to his flat voice.
At his personal concert in Goyang (Korea) in March this year, the leader of Big Bang disappointed fans by letting them wait 74 minutes, and when the show started late, he also skipped many parts of the song.
The male singer explained: "That day it rained, it was hazy, and then snow fell. Everyone was cold. We tried our best to prepare the stage and equipment, but when it was so cold, even the machines were "frozen".
Most recently, at the 2025 MAMA awards ceremony held in Hong Kong (China), G-Dragon performed a new song "Drama" along with old hits such as "Heartbreaker" and "Untitled". But his live voice on television was almost unouverted.
The audience thought that G-Dragon depended heavily on pre-recorded background music, and there were scenes where he only danced with a microphone without singing, making his performance considered incomplete.
After MAMA, G-Dragon expressed his disappointment by leaving a "dislike" emotion icon under the video recording his performance - an action that many people considered to be humorous.
In addition, fans also defended G-Dragon. They posted many live videos at the MAMA awards ceremony, proving that the male singer still performed his live voice well, but the studio's recording caused his performance to decrease significantly in quality.
