G-Dragon is currently on his Übermensch World Tour, with Bangkok set as a significant stop. However, due to mounting frustration among fans regarding management issues, a protest truck was dispatched to his agency, Galaxy Corporation, on July 8, which ultimately resulted in the cancellation of the expected concert on August 2.
Cancellation of G-Dragon’s Bangkok Concert
The concert’s organizers, AEG Presents Asia, announced the unfortunate cancellation on July 10, citing “unforeseen circumstances.” The event was planned to take place at Rajamangala National Stadium, and the communication conveyed their deep regrets over this decision.
Fans are left disheartened, especially since there’s been no word on rescheduling the concert. Many were eagerly awaiting the chance to see the BIGBANG member perform live in Thailand, reflecting their significant investment in both time and hope.
Reasons Behind the Fan Protests
Fans have voiced several grievances against Galaxy Corporation, including mismanagement, a perceived lack of artist protection, and eroding trust between the agency and its supporters. One notable incident contributing to this dissatisfaction was a delay of 73 minutes during a concert in Korea on March 29. Additionally, the sale of tickets through unofficial channels raised concerns.
Many fans argue that the agency prioritizes its corporate brand over the artist, and express frustration regarding insufficient legal protection for G-Dragon amid negative rumors. They specifically criticized the excessive media focus on CEO Choi Yong Ho.
Fan Demands from Galaxy Corporation
In light of the unrest, fans have articulated several demands to G-Dragon’s agency. They are advocating for decisive legal action against false rumors and are seeking fair opportunities for official fan club members regarding ticket sales and event access.
Moreover, fans stress the importance of planning tour schedules with both audience expectations and the well-being of the artist in mind. They also want Galaxy Corporation to reduce the CEO’s visibility in media, ensuring that the artist’s promotion remains the priority.
