Concert organiser AEG Presents Asia announced on July 10 that the show, originally scheduled at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on Aug 2, had been called off due to "unforeseen circumstances".

The promoter issued an apology for the inconvenience and disappointment, but failed to provide a specific reason for the cancellation.

The sudden change has deepened discontent among fans, many of whom had already raised concerns over the handling of the tour by the singer's agency, Galaxy, especially regarding the Thailand stop.

These concerns stem partly from Galaxy's identity as an entertainment-technology company that primarily focuses on metaverse and artificial intelligence sectors, rather than traditional entertainment management.

Originally, the Bangkok concert was scheduled at an outdoor venue during the country's rainy season — one of the hottest and most humid times of the year.

Even as the date neared, ticketing and seating information had not been provided, causing anxiety and criticism from both domestic and international fans.

The Bangkok show is the latest flashpoint in months of controversies surrounding Galaxy's management of G-Dragon's comeback.
