K-pop idol G-Dragon, the leader of popular boy group Big Bang, has created a huge stir with his sexually-charged performance at his first solo concert.
At the "Shine a Light" concert held at the Gymnastics Stadium in Olympic Park on Dec. 5 and 6, his two-hour charismatic solo performances wowed his fans and the audience.
However, the 21-year-old singer has been the center of disputes concerning the staging of his highly suggestive performance with a female dancer at a sold out concert to 50,000 fans, mostly teenagers.
While singing "Breathe" off his first album, he performed a few suggestive sexual acts with the female dancer on a bed on stage, with heavy breathing and moaning coming out of the speakers.
In the following song "She's Gone,"the violent background video clip also raised controversy. In the scene, G-Dragon chases a girl and stabs her in the back.
The concert was rated 12 years and older.
Many netizens posted comments critical of the lewdness of the performance.
"He went a bit too far, given it's rated 12," a netizen with the ID azalea said. Some others called the show, "Shocking" and "too lewd and violent."
As complaints mounted, an official from YG Entertainment said, "As we made preparations in line with the songs, the (suggestive) level of the performance went a bit higher. But please look at this from the perspective that G-Dragon is now an adult."
Weeks before the concert, his agency YG Entertainment said: ``We are investing to the fullest to bring the best show for G-Dragon, who is not only an icon in music, but also in fashion. We are planning to offer the best performance for both the ears and eyes.''
G-Dragon is not new to controversy. The singer stirred fans and music experts when he released his first solo album ``Heartbreaker'' in August. Some of his songs, including `Heartbreaker'' and ``Butterfly,'' were said to have been plagiarized.
