G-Dragon's Bangkok Show Cancelled Due To ‘Unforeseen Circumstances'

On July 11, G-Dragon made an official statement stating that his Bangkok stop of his world tour has been cancelled. 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." View this post on Instagram A post shared by AEG Presents Asia (@aegpresentsasia) 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. view comments First Published: July 11, 2025, 13:42 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
