MBC stated that it is difficult to proceed due to local venue issues.
Concerns arise over the potential impact on trust within the K-POP industry.
[TV Daily Kim Ji-ha Reporter] The ‘Show! Music Core in Macau’ concert has been abruptly canceled just a week before its scheduled date. On January 28th, MBC announced that after a comprehensive review of various circumstances, it was deemed difficult to proceed with the event in Macau. The concert was originally slated for February 7 and 8 but faced mounting skepticism from fans due to venue issues and uncertainties surrounding the location.
The cancellation of this concert can be seen as a significant event that reflects the uncertainties within the K-POP industry, beyond just stopping a single event. The diplomatic issues between Korea and Japan are affecting multiple album releases and shows, and MBC's decision suggests a lack of adequate response to external variables. Fans' diminishing trust and expectations from the concert may lead to broader negative implications across the industry.
