The agency also shared details about the issues with MC Entertainment.
“We requested visa issuance and other matters that had to be checked in advance to ensure smooth performance,” the statement continued. “Nevertheless, we were told to proceed with the concert without issuing a proper visa and to perform in an open-air venue. Furthermore, some of the notices were not negotiated with OUI Entertainment before uploading.”
“Although we tried to proceed with the performance through continuous consultation, we have judged that it would be difficult to proceed with MC Entertainment for this tour,” it continued.
The list of cancelled tour stops is as follows:
- MEXICO, MERIDA
- MEXICO, MONTERREY
- EL SALVADOR, SAN SALVADOR
- COSTA RICA, SAN JOSE
- BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA, CARACAS
- PUERTO RICO, CAGUAS
OUI Entertainment also stated that refund requests for the aforementioned concerts should be addressed to MC Entertainment. “We sincerely apologize to fans who have been looking forward to the concert,” the statement concluded.
