Kanye West is facing another major setback, as his solo concert schedule for later this month in South Korea has officially been canceled.
Coupang Play, the organizer of the concert originally set for May 31, recently announced, via CTV News, that “due to recent controversies involving the artist,” the concert is no longer going forward.

The organizer also noted that sales of West’s Yeezy merchandise have been suspended. All tickets sold for the show in South Korea will be fully refunded.
The concert was titled “YE (Kanye West) Korea Concert: BULLY” and was set to happen at Incheon Munhak Stadium. It was expected to include a live performance of West’s song “Bully” from his March 2025 demo album.
While the organizer didn’t elaborate on the “recent controversies” that led to the decision, West has frequently been in the news this past year for questionable behavior and remarks, including antisemitic statements.
In March, many criticized West for releasing a song that featured both his daughter, North West, and Diddy, who is currently on trial for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation for prostitution.
On May 8, also known as Victory in Europe Day, or the anniversary of Germany’s surrender during World War II, West released a song in support of the Nazi Party dictator Adolf Hitler, which sparked huge backlash until it was finally removed from streaming platforms.
