G-Dragon was late again, but this time remained 'silent'... Controversy arose over his attitude of not apologizing

Singer G-Dragon was late again for an official schedule, but this time he left without a direct apology, leading to a controversy over his attitude. During the delay of a concert, he apologized to fans through an official statement, but this time there was only a clarification from an event official, while he provided no explanation at all.

G-Dragon attended a liquor brand launch event at the Grand Hyatt Seoul in Yongsan District, Seoul, on the 13th at 7:40 p.m., 40 minutes late from the scheduled start time of 7 p.m. In front of reporters and fans at the scene, he posed for photos without any greetings and quietly left the venue.

An event official explained, 'Traffic conditions were not good, so it was unavoidable for him to be late,' but G-Dragon himself provided no comment. In response, some have pointed out, 'Regardless of the circumstances, there should have been at least one word of apology to fans and the public.'

G-Dragon's solo concert 'Webermensch in Korea,' held for the first time in eight years, also experienced delays on both days, leaving disappointment. The first day was delayed by 73 minutes, and on the second day, the schedule was changed due to adverse weather, greatly inconveniencing fans. At that time, the agency had issued an apology, making his silence at this event stand out even more.

Criticism continues online over G-Dragon's attitude, which lacked official comments. 'Being late to the event twice is a problem, but this time not saying anything is even more disappointing,' and 'People waited, and at least a simple 'I'm sorry' should have been said,' expressed dissatisfaction largely from fans.

On the other hand, some fans said, 'If the traffic conditions were bad, it couldn't be helped,' and 'He apologized during the concert and showed consideration; perhaps there was no need to repeat it since the official spoke this time,' adding to a supportive atmosphere for him.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon unveiled a liquor product he collaborated on during this brand event, marking the start of his global business endeavors. However, there is keen interest in how the controversy stemming from his repeated tardiness and 'silence' offstage will affect his activities.
