Kanye West concert in South Korea cancelled over 'controversies'

  • Kanye West, now known as Ye, had his concert scheduled for May 31, 2025, at Incheon's Munhak Stadium canceled in South Korea.
  • The cancellation followed mounting controversies involving Ye's recent release of a song titled "Heil Hitler" that praises the Nazi dictator and Holocaust architect.
  • Coupang, the e-commerce company organizing the event, and ticket platform Interpark announced refunds for all purchased tickets and suspended sales of Ye's Yeezy merchandise.
  • The song "Heil Hitler" sparked global outrage amid Ye's ongoing antisemitic and offensive remarks on social media, which led Adidas and other brands to sever ties with him.
  • Ye's return to South Korea is uncertain as promoters and partners reconsider engagements due to sustained backlash and controversies shadowing his career.
