[Full official comment from the Korean Entertainment Producers Association] Hello. This is the Korean Entertainment Producers Association. First of all, we are very regretful to convey disappointing news to all the fans and stakeholders around the world who love K-POP. The Korean Entertainment Producers Association and FROM ENTERTAINMENT confirmed that the 'DREAM CONCERT 2026 in Hong Kong', scheduled for February 6 and 7, has been postponed due to a unilateral public notice from the Chinese organizers, despite the association and Korean organizers not agreeing to it. The association and FROM ENTERTAINMENT have made efforts to keep the possibility open until the last moment to hold the concert as planned. We have continuously sought solutions to hold the concert as scheduled and have made it clear that we will not give up under any circumstances. However, we received a unilateral postponement notice from the local Chinese organizers without prior consultation or sufficient explanation, leading to a situation where it is difficult to proceed with the event on the scheduled dates. We are very regretful that this decision, which is not due to the fault of the association and organizers, has caused confusion and inconvenience to the audience, artists, and related parties who were waiting for the performance. Currently, the association and organizers are considering procedures to clarify the exact circumstances and responsibilities regarding this matter, and are carefully discussing follow-up response plans, including contract and legal reviews. The 'DREAM CONCERT 2026 in Hong Kong' was prepared with new expectations for cultural exchange between Korea and China, and we perceive this unilateral postponement notice from the Chinese side as a decision contrary to the purpose of expanding cultural exchange. The association believes that the current situation is not unrelated to the overall cultural exchange environment between Korea and China and is very regretful about this. As an organization that has operated the 'DREAM CONCERT', a representative performance brand of K-POP for the past 30 years, the Korean Entertainment Producers Association will prioritize responsibility to the audience, artists, and the entire industry under any circumstances. Once again, we deeply apologize to everyone who was waiting for the 'DREAM CONCERT 2026 in Hong Kong'. Thank you.
