Taking measuring precautions to protect fans from the spread of the coronavirus, Big Hit Entertainment issued a statement, which reads, “We regret to announce” that the Seoul concerts have been cancelled. It was “impossible at this time to predict the scale of the outbreak”, it said, creating uncertainty over the movement of staff, equipment and fans, making the cancellation “unavoidable”, it said.

During his recent live streaming, BTS’s RM said that he was “so disappointed and raged like a madman” when the concerts were cancelled. “I would go off the deep end and scream” in frustration from not being able to perform in front of fans, he said. “It really saddens me but there’s not much we can do realistically.

“But the time, practice and performances we have invested in this album will not vanish, and so too your (the fans’) love and encouragement.”

Hoping for the better tomorrow in South Korea, RM said: “I believe good news will come the way of our fans in the near future.”

According to a report in scmp.com, BTS fans have started donating their concert cancellation fees to coronavirus prevention.
