The concert is part of his highly anticipated world tour "Übermensch" and is scheduled to take place on August 2 at Rajamangala National Stadium. The announcement was made just three weeks before the event was scheduled, and there has been no official ticket sales.
On July 11, G-Dragon's management company Galaxy Corporation issued a statement through official channels: "We are very regretful to announce that the concert in Bangkok scheduled for August 2 has been canceled due to force majeure situations. We sincerely apologize to the fans who have been waiting and hope to see the Thai fans again in the future".
However, the company did not give a specific reason for the cancellation, which increased the discontent in the fan community.
Many fans booked air tickets, accommodation and took time off work to attend the concert. With no explanation or compensation given, the audience's criticism of Galaxy Corporation's handling has increased.
This incident reflects ongoing concerns in the fan community about the way G-Dragon's tour management company. The issues were reported during the world tour, first of which was the concert that opened in March at Goyang Stadium in Seoul, which began 73 minutes late. In cities such as Sydney and Hong Kong (China), fans expressed concern about the size of the venue and the tight schedule of performances, including three consecutive shows.
Recently, fans have held protests by trucks to express their dissatisfaction. The fan community has accused Galaxy Corporation of handling tour activities incorrectly while allowing CEO Choi Yong Ho to appear unbalanced in G-Dragon's official activities. Critics say that the company seems to be prioritizing brand promotion over the artist's success. Some speculate that these efforts are related to promoting listedings on the stock market.
As disappointment continues to increase, fans are demanding more transparency, accountability, and a stronger commitment to the management company taking the artist as the center.
