On March 29 and 30, BIGBANG‘s G-Dragon held the opening concerts for his Übermensch world tour in Seoul.
On the first day, there were safety concerns as G-Dragon was among the unruly crowd. However, netizens were touched upon hearing the full story. He was making his way towards a bedridden fan who needed a breathing tube and still attended the concert (though the crowd made it difficult to get all the way over to him).
The fan can be seen in the handicapped seating area among those in wheelchairs in the disability area of E5.
Found the video, a fan shared on D1 of #ÜBERMENSCH CONCERT.
The wheelchair zone for physically challenged VIP & FAM. There's a bedridden FAM with breathing tube support attended the concert. So GDRAGON was trying to approach that area

Netizens commented on the initial backlash G-Dragon received for the daring move, though he had pure intentions. Additionally, they blamed the rowdiness of the fans.
- “Seeing this and calling him arrogant or saying he doesn’t care about fans’ safety is ridiculous, lol. GD realized he was being a bit over the top and that it was dangerous, so he apologized and asked people to step back a little to avoid getting hurt.”
- “For real”
- “GD probably had good intentions, but it must have been frustrating because of the lack of order “
- “Wow”
- “There’s literally no reason for the singer to be getting hate for this..”
- “Isn’t the problem the fans, not GD? I’ve never seen anything like this before”
- “Honestly, it’s the fans’ fault; he wasn’t even going into the seating area, just following the usual route, but everyone rushed out.”
- “Exactly. When GD does fan service like this, he usually even lets fans touch his face, and there’s never been this kind of bad behavior before”
- “I’ve never seen fans act this disrespectfully before.”
