Recently, G-Dragon – the "king of Kpop" – had two eye-catching performances at Kyocera Dome, Osaka, Japan on May 25 and 26.

With a capacity of up to 80,000 people, these music nights have proven the undeniable attraction and influence of the male artist on the world music map. Every time he appears, G-Dragon makes the audience admire with his top-notch performance style and emotional connection with fans, affirming his leading position in the international entertainment industry.

However, the exciting atmosphere after the concerts in Osaka was quickly overshadowed by a wave of outrage from the fan community in Malaysia. On Instagram, under a series of behind-the-scenes photos posted by G-Dragon, a series of fans expressed their disappointment and frustration when they could not buy tickets for the upcoming two concerts in Kuala Lumpur. Many people shared that even though they had been patiently queuing online from a very early age, they still could not own tickets due to the continuous failure of the ticketing system and rampant ticket speculation. Many commenters said they had to wait for nearly 30 minutes in a virtual queue, but when it was their turn, the system reported an error again, forced to reload the page and start waiting from the beginning — forming a loop full of inhibitions, much to the disappointment of fans.

All tickets for the two nights in Kuala Lumpur on July 19 and 20 were quickly "sold out" in a short time, leaving many fans in a disappointed and angry mood because they could not participate in the long-awaited event. The backlash from the fan community has prompted many to call on the organisers to consider canceling concerts in Malaysia as a form of strong protest against black market tickets and ticket speculation. A part of fans thinks that the suspension of the show will be the clearest and most effective message, helping to condemn and prevent the "black" ticket market from profiting from the enthusiasm of genuine fans.

However, there are also opinions expressing sympathy for G-Dragon, saying that it is unfair to directly criticize the male artist on his personal posts, because he is not fully responsible for organizing and distributing tickets. Many fans still believe in the efforts of G-Dragon and the team behind it in bringing the best experience to fans.

The problem of ticket speculation is not new in the global entertainment industry. This is a painful problem, causing many genuine audiences to suffer disadvantages when tickets are collected in large quantities and then resold at prices many times higher than the original price. This behavior not only caused discontent in the fan community but also caused artists and organizers to face a lot of pressure. Although many ticketing platforms have applied advanced technology such as unique QR codes, multi-layer security, or ticket purchase limits to limit speculation, completely controlling the black market ticket market is still a problem that is difficult to solve thoroughly.

Up to now, G-Dragon's "Übermensch" tour has gone through four fiery stages in Goyang (South Korea), Tokyo (Japan), Bocaue (Philippines) and Osaka (Japan), all of which are sold out with strong attraction. The artist's next destination will be Macau, where he is scheduled to perform for three consecutive nights on June 6, 7 and 8 at the Galaxy Arena – promising to once again ignite the frenzy of fans here.

The resounding success of the tour not only affirms G-Dragon's "non-medium" influence and attraction, but also exposes the difficult reality of the music industry in ensuring fair ticket buying rights for fans. The incident in Malaysia serves as a wake-up call for organizers that although ticketing technology is becoming more and more modern, there are still serious loopholes that make the "black" and speculative ticket market continue to exist, negatively affecting the experience of genuine audiences.
