Kanye West’s upcoming concert in South Korea has been cancelled, as announced by e-commerce company Coupang and ticket outlet Interpark on the Interpark website.
“We regret to inform you that the Ye Live In Korea concert, originally scheduled for Saturday, 31 May 2025, has been cancelled due to recent controversies involving the artist Kanye West (Ye).
“We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. We kindly ask for your understanding.”
Neither outlet explained which controversies were being referred to, however, they did clarify that all the tickets sold for the single gig, which was to be held at Incheon’s Munhak Stadium, would be refunded.
“All purchased tickets will be automatically cancelled, and full refunds will be processed sequentially.”
Coupang, known for their streaming service Coupang Play which was organizing the concert, also halted the sale of merchandise from Kanye West’s Yeezy fashion line.
The cancellation follows the release of West’s controversial song “Heil Hitler” in May, which has been embraced by neo-Nazi groups.
This latest controversy adds to a string of others in recent months, as West has faced backlash for his misogynistic, anti-semitic, and anti-LGBTQ comments on social media.
