Taeyeon Expresses Heartache Over Sudden Cancellation of Japan Concert



Singer Taeyeon expressed her feelings about the sudden cancellation of the Japanese concert.

Taeyeon opened her speech on a fan communication platform on the 18th, saying, `When the news of the cancellation of the Japanese performance was reported, I was worried about my wish (fandom name) and my heart was so bad that I don't know what to say (I don't know).'

Taeyeon then said, "I hate this whole situation and I'm sorry to Sowon."It feels like my performance, made with everyone's efforts and expectations, was blown away and stolen at one point." I don't even know how to express this feeling of emptiness and despondency," he said, expressing his displeasure.




Taeyeon was scheduled to perform 'TAEYEON CONCERT - The TENSE in JAPAN' at Ariake Arena in Tokyo on the 19th and 20th as part of her Asian tour, but it was canceled because the performance equipment did not arrive.

On the 17th, Taeyeon's agency SM Entertainment announced on its official Japanese website that Taeyeon's concert, which was scheduled to be held at Ariake Arena on the 19th and 20th, was canceled.

SM explained "The equipment used on the Asian tour is being transported to Japan, but it has not arrived in Japan at the present time, making it very difficult to prepare for the performance."




He then officially canceled the concert, saying, "We have repeatedly consulted with relevant ministries to explore all possibilities, but we have come to the conclusion that it is difficult to proceed with the performance in perfect condition."
