Malaysian influencer Jay Song, who recently went viral for impersonating G‑Dragon outside the Übermensch concert in Kuala Lumpur, has officially broken his silence and issued a public apology.
This comes after widespread backlash from fans who accused him of misleading the public and causing chaos.
In a video posted yesterday (July 29), Jay addressed the controversy and explained his thought process.
He said he was inspired by overseas creators who often film prank-style celebrity lookalike content.
I enjoy taking on new challenges and trying creative ideas,” he shared, adding that this wasn’t his first time doing such a stunt.
According to him, he had previously pulled a similar prank during BLACKPINK’s Malaysia concert by dressing up like a K-pop star and entering the venue flanked by “bodyguards”.
The response, he said, was “overwhelmingly positive” and encouraged him to try it again — this time at G‑Dragon’s show on July 19–20 at Axiata Arena.
The last time I did it, fans found it entertaining. Some even asked me to do it again. That gave me the courage to try a second time.”
“I didn’t expect it to spiral out of control”
Wearing G‑Dragon-style fashion — a yellow jacket and headscarf — Jay walked confidently through the crowd, causing many concertgoers to scream, rush forward, and snap photos, believing the real GD had arrived.
Clips of the moment went viral across social media platforms, with some fans later expressing disappointment and anger after realising it was just a prank.
In his apology video, Jay said he had no intention of deceiving anyone or creating a commotion.
I genuinely didn’t expect things to get so out of control. I sincerely apologise to anyone who was affected.”
He also clarified that he admires G‑Dragon as a fan, calling him the “King of K-pop”, and thought the impersonation might bring some fun to those who couldn’t get tickets to the sold-out show.
“I just wanted to lift the mood for fans who couldn’t attend. I never wanted to cause harm or disruption.”
“I’ll think twice in the future”
As backlash mounted online — with some accusing him of being “shameless” or “attention-seeking”, he acknowledged his mistake and said he’s learned from the experience.
The video ends with him saying he understands some people may not forgive him, but he hopes they can see his genuine intent.
