G-Dragon Gifts ‘Standard Plastic Garbage Bags’ to Ilsan Residents Ahead of Concert: “Thank You for Understanding the Noise”
K-pop icon G-Dragon is earning praise for his considerate gesture toward local residents ahead of his upcoming 2025 world tour concert in Ilsan. The artist personally sent out standard plastic garbage bags to nearby citizens, thanking them in advance for their patience with any potential noise.
Thoughtful Gesture for the Community
In the days leading up to G-Dragon’s highly anticipated Übermensch concert at Goyang Stadium (March 29~30), a resident shared on social media that they received a surprise package containing 10 garbage bags (20L). The clear bag also included a printed message:
“G-DRAGON’s 2025 World Tour [Übermensch] in Korea, in collaboration with Coupang Play, will be held at Goyang Stadium. We sincerely thank the local residents for their understanding and cooperation.”
Photos of the gift, which quickly went viral, showed multiple garbage bags neatly packed in a transparent plastic pouch. The gesture is believed to be G-Dragon’s way of apologizing in advance for the noise and traffic congestion that large-scale concerts often cause in residential areas.
Netizens Applaud G-Dragon’s Class
The response online was overwhelmingly positive:
- “Only G-Dragon would think of this.”
- “That’s next-level manners.”
- “Talent, personality he’s the complete package.”
Many fans and residents praised the artist not only for his musical impact but for his awareness of and respect for the community surrounding the venue.
