Ye, formerly known as Kanye West's cultural reign knows no borders, with the fact being established for a long time now. From Tokyo’s neon-lit streets to the heart of Seoul, the multi-Grammy winner continues to mesmerize fans across Asia despite being at the receiving end of hate back at home. Furthering his wave in the region after months of anticipation, Ye recently performed in China, as well as brought down South Korea a short while ago alongside North West. The message was loud and clear — Ye has a lot more left to give both artistically and impactfully.

Ye just did it again — his latest South Korea gig sold out in a flash, and the frenzy proves his legend has not yet extinguished.

Ye just brought the thunder to South Korea, performing live at the colossal Incheon Munhak Stadium, for which he had sold a whopping 50,000 tickets, proving once again that his global influence is unmatched. Fans from across the country flooded the venue for Ye's highly charged concert, witnessing a spectacle drenched in energy, theatrics, and his signature flair. The event, notably, also marked the presence of the artist's eldest daughter, North West, who joined him on stage for a special rendition of 'Everybody.'

As the father-daughter duo owned the stage, the stadium — according to visuals from the soiree that made their way to social media — turned into a sea of flashing lights and roaring cheers. Dressed in coordinated outfits, black from head to toe, the duo shared the spotlight with comfortable ease. The emotional high of Ye’s performance, even sans North, left fans moved and mesmerized, with many hailing him as the greatest of all time on X.

The energy online was as electrically charged as the air at the aforementioned South Korean stadium, with raw and unapologetic praise for Ye. While one user dismissed the music chart "numbers," saying those can be bought, they insisted that filling out a stadium in a foreign country cannot be manufactured. While other fans simply reminded the world of Ye’s “Goat” status, a specific Ye admirer called out those who tried to tell him his favorite artist is “washed.”

Meanwhile, an alternative narrative on X also had some fans mourning the fact that Ye has managed to cause significant harm to his reputation in the past few years, pulling his career down with him. At his latest show, too, Ye performed an eyebrow-raising act as he fired several nukes from the stage.
