[Dispatch=Reporter Lee Myung-ju] BIGBANG decided to halt their performance during their Bangkok concert.
On the 8th (Korean time), BIGBANG held a solo concert at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand as part of their world tour 'XX: COSMOS'.
The stage proceeded without major issues in the early stages of the performance. However, rain and wind gradually intensified. The risk of safety accidents increased due to some equipment falling.
The concert was eventually suspended. The members apologized directly. "It's raining too heavily. We had no choice but to stop the performance for safety reasons," they explained.
They continued, "We wanted to spend a good time meeting Thai fans after such a long time. We said we would perform no matter how much rain falls, but it's too dangerous."
BIGBANG added, "We hear a strong storm is coming, so please return safely. We will try to see you again as soon as possible. We are truly sorry," they said apologetically.
G-Dragon posted on SNS after the concert, "You must have waited a long time and we're very disappointed and upset. Everyone's safety comes first, so let's definitely meet again," he urged.
The concert organizers also stated, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the suspension of the BIGBANG concert." Full refunds will be processed for this performance.
Meanwhile, BIGBANG is continuing their world tour. They will hold performances in Hong Kong on the 13th to 15th and 17th.
