G-Dragon’s Agency Apologizes for T-Shirt With Dutch Racial Slur at Macau Concert

The company pledged stricter styling reviews to prevent offensive language on stage.

Overview

  • G-Dragon performed in Macau wearing a T-shirt printed with a Dutch phrase that included a racial slur.
  • The shirt read “RONNY, EEN GEILE NEGER— JONGEN,” which the outlet translated as “Ronny, a horny Black boy.”
  • The word “neger” is widely viewed as a derogatory term for Black people, and fans criticized its use online.

  • The agency said it will tighten internal vetting and styling processes to improve cultural sensitivity going forward.
