While actively touring, recently, during G-Dragon's concert in Hong Kong, the actions of a fan sparked public outrage. As is known, G-Dragon is currently on a world tour, having stopped in Indonesia and now continuing to Hong Kong on August 8-10.
The concert, which should have been lively and greeted with enthusiastic fans, was instead sparked by the actions of this fan. The incident, which quickly spread across the media, angered fans, who perceived it as a "lack of respect" for the fan who carried a sign at the concert.
This wasn't an ordinary sign, as fans generally do to get their idol's attention. This sign sparked a major controversy, with one fan reportedly carrying a sign that read "Bring Seungri Back."
As is known, Seungri is a former member of BIGBANG, alongside G-Dragon. However, due to the major incident involving the "Burning Sun" scandal, he ultimately decided to retire from the entertainment industry and leave BIGBANG in 2019.
The controversial "Burning Sun" case was one of the major scandals that rocked South Korea in 2019. It involved a sex entertainment scandal involving celebrities, police officers, and even K-Pop idols. The scandal involved secret sex tapes, prostitution, drug trafficking, and police corruption.
According to fans who attended G-Dragon's concert, the signs were seen several times, leading some to suspect that G-Dragon had seen the signs but tried to avert his gaze. Many expressed regret over this action, as it was considered a violation of the law, especially considering Seungri's history and the circumstances surrounding his separation from BIGBANG.
The circulating photos sparked outrage among G-Dragon and BIGBANG fans, as evidenced by the disappointed and angry calls they expressed on social media platforms like threads and X. These disappointed calls included:
"Are you crazy? The Korean sign: 'Bring Seungri Back' is grammatically incorrect. If they were from Hong Kong, I would have scolded them like crazy."
"To those who think it's funny or clever to bring up the name 'Seungri,' a convicted perpetrator of sexual laughter, at GD's concert: you are disgusting. It's not bravery, it's pure disgust. You not only disrespect GD, but you also don't understand the pain, journey, and healing process he went through to be able to stand on that stage again."
Furthermore, fans are urging event management and security to intervene and address the issue, thereby preventing similar acts from escalating in the future./Source: Koreaboo
