G-Dragon Sparks Health Concerns with Cryptic Social Media Post Amid Concert Cancellation

G-Dragon, a member of the popular K-pop group BIGBANG, has raised concerns among fans with a recent social media post hinting at health issues.

On the 20th, G-Dragon posted a selfie on his personal secondary social media account with the caption, "Don't get sick, Dototjambo." In the photo, G-Dragon appears to be asleep in what looks like a waiting room, curled up on a sofa without a pillow, resting his head on a tissue, and using a towel as a blanket. This uncomfortable position has led to worries about his health.

The phrase "Don't get sick" has fueled speculation about potential health problems.

Previously, on the 11th, G-Dragon abruptly canceled his Bangkok concert scheduled for August 2nd. This world tour was highly anticipated as G-Dragon's return to the stage, but the sudden cancellation left fans confused.

Although ticket sales had not begun, international fans who had already booked flights and accommodations faced inconvenience. The lack of a detailed explanation, with only a vague statement citing "unforeseen circumstances," has further fueled fans' dissatisfaction.

In response to the controversy, G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, issued a belated explanation. A representative stated, "Recently, Bangkok has been experiencing unprecedented and record-breaking heat, leading to a surge in heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke. Considering the health and safety of the audience, we had no choice but to cancel the outdoor concert at Rajamangala National Stadium."

Following G-Dragon's social media post hinting at health issues, fans' concerns have not subsided. Fans, who are used to seeing G-Dragon deliver powerful performances on stage, are expressing their support with messages like "Take a good rest and don't overdo it," and "Health comes first."
