Singer G-Dragon held a solo concert for the first time in eight years, amid movements for 'manners' among the audience, including littering and the prevalence of illegal ticket sales.

G-Dragon will hold his third world tour, 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch],' at the Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on the 29th and 30th, meeting with over 60,000 audience members. This concert marks his first solo concert in eight years since the 2017 world tour, stirring significant attention with fierce ticket competition from the very beginning of the booking stage.

However, 'noise' continued from the first day of the concert. The performance was delayed due to bad weather, and the hosting organization announced through a notice five hours prior that it would be postponed by 30 minutes, but even at the changed time of 7 p.m., the concert did not begin. As a result, the audience waited 43 minutes without any further guidance before G-Dragon appeared on stage.

Upon taking the stage, G-Dragon personally apologized, saying, 'I’m sorry that the concert started late due to the cold weather.' His agency, Galaxy Corporation, explained, 'The concert was delayed for safety reasons due to worsening weather (strong winds) on that day, and the performance was delayed further as a result.'

After the concert, controversy arose over the audience's 'bad manners.' Photos of litter abandoned throughout the concert venue spread through online communities, amplifying the debate.

In response, fans initiated a voluntary cleanup movement ahead of the 30th concert. Fans shared rules of conduct, including 'taking trash back,' 'observing concert order,' and 'actively responding to the artist,' stating that 'our actions reflect the artist's image.' Particularly, there were also revelations of illegal transactions occurring. In response, the fandom continues to actively report such incidents on-site.

Moreover, eyewitness accounts of illegal transactions taking place at the venue are also emerging. Fans are actively reporting illegal ticket sellers to the police to join in the crackdown.

As they wash away the noise from the previous day, it is noteworthy whether G-Dragon's final performance can achieve a 'perfect finale' amid the fandom's efforts.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon will conduct the second day of his concert for the 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch]' at the Goyang Sports Complex on the 30th, planning to donate 300 million won from the concert's revenue to support recovery from the massive wildfire damages that occurred in regions like Gyeongsangdo and Ulsan.
