G-Dragon's Parents Attend His First Solo Concert in 8 Years

On the 30th, a video was posted on an online community with the caption, "G-Dragon's parents are here."
The video shows a couple in their 60s or 70s being guided by a young security guard to their seats. Many audience members, seemingly recognizing them, began to take photos with their phones.
In the video, the middle-aged man is wearing a black padded jacket and sunglasses, while the woman, walking ahead, is dressed in a leopard-print outerwear. They exuded a unique presence, and the woman appeared to limp slightly on her left knee. The video uploader identified them as G-Dragon's parents.

During the concert, G-Dragon performed 25 songs, including new tracks from his third studio album, past solo hits, and songs from Big Bang. However, both days faced criticism due to delayed start times and deteriorating live performances towards the end.
G-Dragon is set to continue his tour in Asia, starting in Tokyo, Japan, on May 10-11, followed by performances in Bulacan, Philippines; Osaka, Japan; Macau, China; Taiwan; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Hong Kong.
