Ye Teases Return to Stage: South Korea Concert Back on After Cancellation Over Nazi Controversy

Published 06/22/2025, 9:44 AM EDT

Once a global juggernaut, the Yeezy machine screeched to a halt when Ye, formerly known as Kanye West's Nazi-laced fallout made headlines louder than his music. South Korea, once ready to host a sonic spectacle, slammed the brakes, pulling the plug on a show that was poised to erupt. For months, the stage stayed cold, the mic silent. But if Ye is anything, it is relentless. After the storm, Ye is back again—and now, against all odds, he is marching back onto Korean soil.

Fresh off the backlash, Ye lit up the internet with a bold teaser; his Korean concert comeback is officially in motion.

Ye made his return to X with a post that instantly stirred the internet. He dropped a blurred photo of himself, but the details were loud and clear — YE LIVE IN KOREA, a concert set for July 26, 2025, in Seoul, with tickets through Melon. The event is locked in at Incheon Munhak Stadium, featuring a performance by Vanessa Beecroft and branded under the "YZN SZN X" banner. Just like that, Ye reignited the hype and set the stage ablaze.

Before Ye's X post, on June 20, Channel Candy revealed via Instagram that Ye is set to perform in South Korea on July 26. The announcement follows the last-minute cancellation of his planned 'BULLY' concert in May, which stirred speculation due to his ongoing controversies. His track 'Hail Hitler' dropped on Victory in Europe Day, igniting global outrage with its explicit pro-Nazi message. The backlash was so intense that Ye reportedly checked into rehab recently.

Ye’s world unraveled alongside his reputation. After a storm of Nazi rants and fierce public backlash, he reportedly retreated to rehab—a quiet move in the chaos he created.

Ye checked into an ultra-luxury rehab facility with a staggering weekly cost of $170,000. The retreat offered private chefs, daily therapy sessions, and yoga, all wrapped in elite exclusivity. His decision followed widespread backlash over racist outbursts and growing strain at home, with wife Bianca Censori reportedly considering separation or even involuntary commitment, as reported by RadarOnline. While his lawyer maintained the stay was medically advised, insiders questioned the motive, remarking, “The timing of his stay seems suspect,” and suggested Ye was rapidly losing both money and credibility.

In February, Ye plunged deeper into controversy by dismissing his bipolar diagnosis, instead declaring he was autistic—a statement that caught the public off guard. The situation intensified when, just a day later, he unleashed a series of antisemitic posts on X, including shocking declarations like “I love Hitler”, while also claiming complete control over his wife, Bianca Censori. Still, amidst the uproar, Ye drew attention with a striking fashion moment at P Diddy’s trial. Now, he seems poised to shift focus from chaos to creativity, as he prepares to make his musical mark in South Korea.
