G-Dragon's Bangkok Show Cancelled Due To ‘Unforeseen Circumstances'
G-Dragon's highly anticipated Bangkok stop of his Ubermensch World Tour has been officially cancelled. On July 11, G-Dragon made an official statement to call off his Bangkok concert, which was originally scheduled to be held on August 2, 2025. The announcement came via the organiser, AEG Presents Asia, citing 'unforeseen circumstances" as the reason for the cancellation.
The official announcement read, 'We are deeply regretful to share that, due to unforeseen circumstances, 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [ÜBERMENSCH] IN BANGKOK'—originally scheduled for August 2nd—has been cancelled. We understand how much many of you were looking forward to this performance, and we sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your ongoing patience and support. We truly appreciate our fans in Thailand and hope to see you again very soon."

This sudden change has deepened discontent among the fans, as many of them had already raised concerns over the management of G-Dragon's tour by his agency, Galaxy, especially regarding the Thailand stop. The concerns initially stemmed from the fact that the agency-arranged G-Dragon's Thailand concert was scheduled at an outdoor venue during the hottest and most humid season of the year. Moreover, the lack of proper ticketing and seating arrangements caused anxiety and frustration among the fans.
Fans decided to set out a protest rally, which was held from July 8 to July 10 near the company's headquarters in Seoul, where they demanded transparency and accountability. The video messages shown on the truck screen accused the agency of last-minute planning, failed operations, and poor presale structures. Additionally, fans have also criticised the choice of small venues in cities like Macao, Jakarta, and Melbourne, which failed to meet local demand. They also voiced that shows were often added with little notice, resulting in a three-day back-to-back performance schedule for the artist. On this note, fans raised concerns over the potential impact on G-Dragon's health and well-being.
G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy, is yet to release a statement in response to the cancellation and fan protests. Despite the Bangkok tour getting cancelled, G-Dragon is still scheduled to perform in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and Paris as a part of his ongoing world tour.

Akshay Quit Barsaat After Media 'Mentioned Of A Relationship' With Priyanka, Recalls Producer
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar walked out of Barsaat amid buzz of tensions with Priyanka Chopra. Producer Suneel Darshan recalls how the sudden exit left him shocked. Filmmaker Suneel Darshan recently opened up about Akshay Kumar's sudden exit from the 2005 romantic drama Barsaat, which originally starred him along with Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif. The producer-director, who has collaborated with Akshay in several films over the years, revealed that the actor backed out after shooting a romantic song with Priyanka, allegedly due to issues in his personal life. Barsaat was eventually done by Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu. Speaking to journalist Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Suneel said, 'Barsaat was designed immediately after Andaaz to again be a triangular love story with a new dimension, and Akshay was cast in the lead role." He recalled how Akshay had date issues and asked for a slight postponement, which the producer agreed to. Romantic Track With Priyanka Already Shot Suneel had already recorded the music and even filmed a song featuring Akshay and Priyanka. However, delays crept in when Priyanka had to travel for international commitments. 'Priyanka Chopra had some international shows for which she was out for 3 months. So the film kept getting delayed," he explained. By the time she returned and it was time to begin the final leg of the shoot, Akshay invited Suneel to his set, something unusual, as they always met at the producer's office. 'He called me to inform me that there were some issues which were uncontrollable and had repercussions on his personal life. He asked me to take a decision on how we move forward." Was It Priyanka or Him? Producer Opens Up While rumours of a relationship between Akshay and Priyanka had already caught the media's attention, Suneel clarified that it wasn't about Akshay refusing to work with her. 'Either of them, the circumstances had reached such a point where… there were issues," he said, adding that the actor left it up to the producer to choose between the two. He continued, 'The audience, the public, the media did mention of a relationship, which the wife got more of…" Suneel further revealed, 'Suddenly after asking that person to wait for 18 months for your dates, you one day just say, 'Sorry, I can't be a part of it.' I was shocked." Akshay Promised Compensation But It Wasn't Enough Though Akshay reportedly offered to do another film to make up for it, Suneel chose not to proceed with him. 'He did want to compensate by saying that I did the next film for you. But I did not. I just thought this was unbelievable. Coming from Akshay… your expectations were never too much." Despite the setback, the producer harboured no hard feelings. 'He had promised me he would want to do 100 movies with me. I managed to do seven," Suneel concluded.
