Singer G-Dragon helped prevent a camera operator from falling off a stage during a Big Bang concert, with a person believed to be the operator's wife expressing gratitude online.
A video of a camera operator filming G-Dragon while keeping him in frame and walking backward during Big Bang's "XX: Cosmos" world tour concert held in Goyang, Gyeonggi, was recently shared across online communities. The concert took place at Goyang Stadium from Friday to Sunday.
While singing, G-Dragon gestured for the camera operator to come closer as the operator approached the edge of the stage. The video showed the singer stepping back himself to make room for the camera operator to move inward.
The stage was reportedly about two meters (6.6 feet) high, and a fall from the edge could have resulted in a serious accident.
One online user, who identified herself as the camera operator's wife, left a comment on the video uploaded to YouTube.
“My husband told me what happened, and it turns out that G-Dragon saved him that day,” the user wrote. “The stage was about two meters high, and as you know, during that part [G-Dragon] keeps moving toward the camera. So my husband was backing up while framing the shot. If it hadn't been for G-Dragon, he could have fallen off the stage. He said it could have been really serious.”
The user added they were so shocked after hearing the story, and added that “My children and I are all huge Big Bang fans, and now we owe G-Dragon yet another debt of gratitude.”
Other users responded with comments including, “Not only is [G-Dragon] great at what he does, but he also has great personality,” and “What a heartwarming story.”
