G-Dragon’s agency, Galaxy Corporation, has officially apologised to fans now after the BIGBANG member arrived at his concert over an hour late. According to a report by Soompi, the agency attributed the delay to deteriorating weather conditions. They claimed that the decision was made as a precautionary measure to ensure audience safety, adding that the use of stage equipment under such conditions could have posed a potential risk.
A few hours before G-Dragon’s highly anticipated Ubermensch concert at Goyang Stadium on Saturday, Coupang Play informed fans that the show would be delayed by 30 minutes due to worsening weather conditions. However, the concert eventually started 73 minutes later than its original schedule, leaving many attendees frustrated. Given that the event took place in an outdoor stadium, the prolonged delay caused anger among the audience.
