After the concert, Bieber thanked the fans and G-Dragon.

“Korea that was amazing. Thank u for the love. Shout out to my friend @IBGDRGN for coming out on stage tonight. They went crazy. #honored,” he tweeted.

Scooter Braun, Bieber’s manager, also tweeted, “Very cool to see @IBGDRGN come out with @justinbieber tonight in Korea. The arena exploded. G-Dragon is a class act.”

After the concert, Bieber, G-Dragon and other Korean celebrities headed to the Tastemakers party at The A club in Gangnam, which was also the launching event of Jay Park’s AOMG music label.

Other celebrities spotted at the party were Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon, 2AM’s Seulong and Jo Kwon.

During his stay in Korea, Bieber visited the YG Entertainment headquarters and had dinner at the YG cafeteria.

According to YG Entertainment and news site OSEN, Bieber and his companions had bulgogi (barbecued beef) and jeon (Korean pancake).

After the dinner, Bieber went to the YG studio and talked to G-Dragon and Teddy.

After the Seoul concert, Bieber will head to Macau, which will be his last stop in Asia for the tour.
