GD Concert Review Summary! Why Are There So Many Refund Requests? (Controversy Over Lateness and Live Performance)

G-Dragon's solo concert, held after 8 years. Fans' expectations were sky-high, but after the concert, the majority of the reactions left in G-Dragon concert reviews on communities and SNS were that they were more disappointed than expected.

In this article, I will organize the atmosphere of the concert, the problems of the performance, and the reactions of the fans from various perspectives, focusing on the reviews of GD's concert. In particular, I will take a close look at the reason why there were many refund requests for GD's concert, GD's live performance, and the controversy over his lateness.

1. Controversy over GD concert tardiness, delayed by 73 minutes

The GD concert was held at Goyang Stadium and was originally scheduled to start at 6:30 PM. However, on the morning of the concert, the organizers announced that the concert would be postponed by 30 minutes due to strong winds and cold weather.

The problem was after that. Even at 7 o'clock, the show didn't start, and on-site, the music video and Coupang Play content video were shown repeatedly without any additional announcements. In the end, the main show didn't start until 7:43. It was a performance that was a whopping 73 minutes late.

Fans who had to wait for a long time in sub-zero temperatures were angry, and requests for refunds for G-Dragon's concert poured in from the community. G-Dragon apologized during the concert, saying, "I'm sorry for being cold and late," but some fans responded, saying, "The guidance was insufficient, and the attitude toward being late to the concert was disappointing."

2. G-Dragon's live performance skills fell short of expectations?

If you look at the reviews of this GD concert, there is also controversy over his singing ability. In some songs, G-Dragon was caught not singing at all or humming instead.

Fans commented on GD's live concert skills, saying, "It's understandable that he wasn't in good condition, but the entire performance was unstable." There were also many reviews saying, "I couldn't understand what he was saying" because his delivery of the messages was mumbled.

The comparison was especially noticeable because CL's live performance as a guest was so stable. There were even comments saying, "CL felt like the main character."

The controversy over GD's live concert skills was even more regrettable because it was his first comeback stage in a long time, and there were many voices in the community saying, "This can't be covered up even with the heart of a fan."

3. The stage production was splendid, but… the audience response was lukewarm

GD's concert had many impressive scenes in terms of production. The drone show, the re-creation of past images using de-aging technology, and the giant balloon robots drew admiration from fans.

However, the audience response was lukewarm compared to expectations. Among the reviews of GD's concert, there were many reviews that said, "There was almost no cheering" and "G-Dragon himself mentioned that the response was weak."

There were also opinions that there were many foreign fans who entered the concert using black market tickets, and the cold weather at the outdoor concert venue was also pointed out as a factor that hindered immersion into the stage.

There was also controversy over the issue of trash after the performance. There was controversy over bad manners as trash was left around the performance venue, and there were reviews saying that the provocative electronic display boards made some audience members feel uncomfortable.

4. GD Concert Proceeds Donation? Why It Was Meaningful

Despite the requests for refunds for GD's concert and other controversies, the meaning behind the concert itself has not disappeared. G-Dragon's will to donate 300 million won of the proceeds to forest fire recovery efforts is still receiving warm applause.

There were many positive reviews saying that the setlist was well composed. They stimulated fans' nostalgia by generously performing representative songs from the Big Bang days such as 'Heartbreaker', 'That XX', and 'Crayon'.

At the end of the concert, G-Dragon announced an encore concert, saying, “I will perform once more within the year,” and revealed that he is also planning a concert for Big Bang’s 20th anniversary.

The reviews of GD's concerts we've seen so far have been mixed, but one thing is clear: there are still many fans waiting for him. In the future, we hope to see less disappointment in GD's lateness, live performance skills, and on-site management issues, and to see more complete performances.
