According to the agency, after the LA concert, they had turbulence during their flight making their arrival at the airport delayed. They added that it was discussed to visit Korean restaurants, but decided to adjust due to the artist's condition for his performance.
Due to this, they asked for an understanding from the officials, adding that it was not a unilateral cancellation.
"If there were previously scheduled events such as fan meetings at the restaurant, it would have been right to carry out the schedule somehow, but unlike what is said on SNS, there was no agreed schedule, and it was important to hold the performance safely."
