G-Dragon extends invitation to Paralympic athletes for his concert in Malaysia
G-Dragon, the renowned K-pop icon, recently extended a heartfelt invitation to Paralympic athletes from both Malaysia and Japan, demonstrating his continued support for the Paralympic community.
On Tuesday, July 20, the Malaysian Paralympic athletes were guests at G-Dragon's concert in Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, as part of his world tour, titled 'Ubermensch'. This event was a culmination of G-Dragon's commitment to inclusivity, as the invitation was extended through his own foundation, JusPeace, which focuses on anti-drug initiatives and supporting marginalized communities[2].
The Paralympic Council of Malaysia attended the concert and expressed their gratitude for the unforgettable experience on their Instagram page[3]. In a similar vein, Japanese Paralympian Kota Kubota sent a letter praising G-Dragon, stating that his music had helped him give a solid performance at the Paralympic Games[4].
The 'Ubermensch' world tour kicked off in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, in March and continues to make its mark across major cities in Asia, Australia, the US, and Europe[5]. Earlier in the tour, on May 25, G-Dragon invited eight Japanese Paralympic athletes to his concert at Kyocera Dome Osaka[4].
The power of sports and music to transform lives was evident at these events, as the athletes and Paralympic organizations publicly acknowledged G-Dragon's spirit of inclusiveness and the positive impact of these connections[1][3]. The JusPeace Foundation's role in these invitations underscores its commitment to fostering a more inclusive world.
