Fans on The Super Stage by K-Pop in Manila cancelation
The cancellation left fans feeling let down. Many had eagerly anticipated the concert and purchased tickets. The abrupt cancellation, without an explanation, has caused a wave of disappointment in the K-Pop community.
You should not have added Dara last minute if you already know this is a possibility. Grabe kayo. At least apologize! Not just to the fans but also to the artists!

The Super Stage by K-Pop in Manila’s venue was the SM Mall of Asia Arena. OctoArts Entertainment had previously partnered with Cornerstone Entertainment for the June 11 Overpass: K-pop Music concert that featured acts EXO’s Baekhyun, B.I., and Jeon Somi. This concert was to be their next event following the Overpass concert.
Despite the disappointment, fans now look forward to other events and hope for a new date for the canceled concert. However, the organizers have yet to announce a new schedule. Stay tuned for updates. — K-Pop News Writer
