WartaGate.com – Unpleasant news has emerged from the K-pop world. G-Dragon has come under the spotlight after his performance at an event in Macau sparked controversy.

The incident began when the leader of BIGBANG appeared at the K-SPARK event on Saturday, May 2. During his performance, he was seen wearing a T-shirt with Dutch writing printed on the back.

Unfortunately, the text was later found to contain racist elements, which quickly drew criticism from the public.

Negative reactions soon spread, particularly among international fans who viewed the outfit as lacking sensitivity toward cultural issues. The backlash eventually prompted his agency, Galaxy Corporation, to respond.

On Sunday, May 3, the agency issued an official apology. In its statement, the company acknowledged that inappropriate wording had appeared on the outfit worn by the artist during his performance in Macau.

They also emphasized that the incident serves as an important reminder to be more cautious, especially when reviewing matters related to cultural sensitivity. According to them, internal review processes, including the selection of stage outfits will be tightened moving forward.

Furthermore, Galaxy Corporation reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that all artist-related activities are handled with greater care and respect for the diverse cultural backgrounds of global fans.

The agency once again extended its sincere apologies to anyone who felt hurt or disappointed by the incident.

This case once again highlights the importance of cultural awareness in the global entertainment industry, especially for artists with a wide international fanbase like G-Dragon.
