#SHOWBIZ: 'This is too dangerous': BigBang cuts Bangkok concert short amid severe thunderstorms

BigBang, the K-pop superstars, had to abruptly end the second night of their Bangkok concert on Sunday due to severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. The trio, consisting of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, were performing at the Rajamangala National Stadium as part of their 20th-anniversary world tour, XX: Cosmos. Although they initially braved the downpour to continue the show, the storm intensified, leading to strong winds that damaged some stage equipment.

The group then informed the audience that continuing the concert was too dangerous and apologized, bowing their heads. An official statement from the group's representatives stated that the decision was made with everyone's safety in mind. They urged fans to seek shelter and confirmed that all ticket holders would receive a full refund, including booking and payment fees.

G-Dragon later expressed his disappointment on social media, apologizing to fans and assuring them that they would meet again soon. BigBang had begun their global tour in August and had already performed in various parts of the world. They are set to resume their tour in Hong Kong on Friday, with Malaysian fans scheduled to see the trio perform at the TM Stadium Nasional in Bukit Jalil on January 9 and 10, 2027.
