G-Dragon has issued an official apology for the delay of his concert, citing worsening weather conditions as the reason.

On March 30th, G-Dragon’s agency Galaxy Corporation released an official statement regarding the delay of the ‘G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] IN KOREA, presented by Coupang Play’, which took place on the 29th at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province.

The agency stated, “On this day, the performance was delayed once due to safety reasons stemming from worsening weather conditions (gusts of wind) on site, and as an extension of that, the performance was delayed once more.”

They further explained, “This was due to the worsening weather conditions, including sub-zero temperatures the day before the performance, sudden snowfall and rainfall in the morning, and strong gusts of wind in the afternoon. G-Dragon observed the weather conditions on site throughout the day, including during rehearsals and the 2 PM sound check.”

Galaxy Corporation emphasized that the delay was a necessary safety measure: “We would like to inform you that this was a decision made for safety reasons, to prevent any harm to the audience that might occur while using the planned stage equipment.”

The statement concluded with a reiteration of their regret and appreciation for the fans: “As we apologized at the concert venue, we would like to once again express our gratitude and sincere apologies to the fans who waited in the cold for a long time.”

Originally, the concert was scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM, but a notice was posted around 1 PM that it would be delayed by 30 minutes. However, the show did not begin until 7:14 PM—44 minutes after the revised start time—without any explanation or apology at the time, prompting boos from the audience.

At 7 PM that evening, temperatures in Goyang City were around 2°C (35.6°F), with strong winds. Roughly 30,000 attendees waited in the cold for G-Dragon to appear. The show finally began with an opening video, followed by G-Dragon’s performance. Although he did not apologize during his initial greeting, he later said after several songs, “The weather is very cold, so I’m sorry for starting late.”

Here is G-Dragon's official statement in full:

Hello, this is Galaxy Corporation.

We would like to share our position regarding the delay of the ‘G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch] IN KOREA, presented by Coupang Play’ that took place on the 29th. On that day, the performance was delayed once due to safety concerns caused by worsening weather conditions (strong gusts of wind) at the venue, and as a result, the performance was subsequently delayed once more.

The delay was due to worsening weather conditions, including sub-zero temperatures the day before the show, sudden snowfall and rain in the morning, and strong gusts of wind in the afternoon. G-DRAGON remained on site throughout the day, closely monitoring the weather, including during rehearsals and a sound check at 2 PM.

Nevertheless, we would like to emphasize that this decision was made strictly for safety reasons, to prevent any harm to the audience that could arise from using the planned stage equipment. As we expressed at the concert venue, we once again extend our sincere gratitude and apologies to the fans who waited for the performance in the cold for a long time.
