GD Cancels Bangkok Tour – 'Extreme Heat Poses Health and Safety Risks'

K-pop king G-Dragon (GD) will be rocking Taipei Arena for three consecutive nights starting from the evening of the 11th, but his tour originally scheduled for August 2 in Bangkok, Thailand, was suddenly announced as canceled on the 10th. Initially, the reason given was only 'force majeure', which left many puzzled and speculating about the cause. On the 11th, the official team released another statement explaining the reason.

The official statement pointed out that the Bangkok concert venue was originally planned to be the outdoor Rajamangala National Stadium, but due to the current Thai heatwave and soaring temperatures, there have been frequent reports of heat-related incidents. The company believes that holding an outdoor concert under such conditions could jeopardize audience safety, and therefore made the difficult decision to cancel the August 2nd performance. The agency, 'Galaxy Corporation', promised to announce the date and location for a replacement show as soon as possible.

Alyssa Chia's Excitement at Attending GD's Concert Sparks Controversy

It's been eight years since GD's last visit to Taiwan, and his first show attracted tens of thousands of fans. Golden Horse-winning actress Alyssa Chia also went to witness the superstar's charisma. She excitedly shared on social media: 'Feeling the charm of this concert, GD is just too cute, instantly became a fan!' However, her words 'instantly became a fan' unexpectedly angered many core fans, who questioned if she was a genuine fan or just riding the hype.

Some fans who couldn't get tickets felt a 'sense of deprivation', while others argued that 'the tickets were given by organizers, so why blame those who went to the concert.' Some even dug up past events, pointing out that Alyssa Chia attended a GD concert 10 years ago.
