The '2025 DREAM CONCERT' has been postponed. The Korean Entertainment Producers Association revealed today (the 11th) to Newsen that the 'DREAM CONCERT' scheduled to be held in China has been postponed. The '2025 DREAM CONCERT' was originally planned to take place on September 26 in Hainan, China. However, about two weeks before the event, reports emerged that the concert was canceled, prompting the association to clarify that it is a postponement, not a cancellation. It has been confirmed that the planning company of the participating artists was also informed that the concert is postponed, not canceled. Details about the performing artists have not been disclosed. This concert has garnered attention as it is the first large-scale K-POP concert to be held in mainland China in about nine years since the 'Korean Wave' restrictions. Previously in May, EPEX planned a solo concert in China, but it was canceled. Recently, Kep1er was set to hold a solo fan concert in Fuzhou, China on September 13, but they announced a postponement. The '2024 DREAM CONCERT' was held on October 19 last year at the Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province, featuring many popular idols such as NCT WISH, Kep1er, and KISS OF LIFE. The 'DREAM CONCERT,' organized by the Korean Entertainment Producers Association, started in 1995 and received official certification from the KRI Korean Record Institute in 2019 as the longest-running and largest-scale concert in Korea.
