[theqoo] G-DRAGON,S CONCERT, HIS 'PRESENCE' WAS BIG, BUT HIS 'AR' WAS ALSO BIG

Singer G-DRAGON has returned to Seoul after his world tour. At the final 39th concert of the tour, G-DRAGON showed improvement compared to the opening performance in Goyang last March, but his selective live singing still raised questions about his vocal condition.

...

However, the live performance still left something to be desired. He faced harsh criticism after his stage at the ‘2025 MAMA AWARDS’ held on the 29th of last month. Prior to this, live singing controversies also arose during his stage at the ‘SBS Gayo Daejeon’ at the end of last year and his Goyang concert in March. Unfortunately, the presence of AR was quite noticeable even during the tour's final performance.

While his rapping was stable, vocal gaps appeared during choruses and climactic sections. He often skipped chorus parts while performing light choreography, or used gestures to ride the rhythm, resulting in multiple sections where vocals were naturally omitted. Furthermore, when singing non-rap parts, he often delivered notes lower than the original key, blurred the endings of notes, or used a scratchy vocal technique.

Of course, G-DRAGON skillfully carried the lengthy performance with his outstanding vocal power and rapping skills. He also appeared noticeably more relaxed compared to the tour's first show last March, held outdoors amidst the late spring chill. Fans responded passionately to every song, keeping the venue's energy high throughout. Through the audience's enthusiastic reactions to every stage, word, and gesture, the concert reaffirmed G-DRAGON's presence as an artist and the nostalgic power of his songs.

1. I just went to his concert and this article makes it sound like it was full of AR. So malicious. I enjoyed his concert so muchㅋㅋ

2. Oh, yesterday's concert was legendary in terms of entertainment and all fans became solo fans afterwards. G-Dragon really loves his fans and his stage command was a freaking wall. When he was rapping, fans on each side of me were shouting so much that everyone almost faintedㅠㅠ I feel like tried to sing as much as he could in the vocal songs. Just shut up and stop asking. I support him

3. I'm a Kpop fan and GD doesn't use more AR than any other singer. Actually, he sings live way more often than not. There's a reason why there are always so many fans at his concert

4. There are so many more idols who lip sync during their whole concert so

5. I feel bad for people who paid for his concertㅇㅇ it's because people praise him for this that he continues doing it

6. Do you guys hate GD that much?ㅋㅋㅋ So ridiculousㅋㅋ All my friends are dying of happiness after going to his concert

7. Uncool

8. I'm not surprised. He lost his professional mindset

9. I'm jealous of GD. I wish people were this generous towards all idols

10. Most of his fans are foreigners so they don't care about this at all
