“[Official Announcement] Cancellation of B.A.P’s South American tour

We regret to inform you that due to the demand made by TS Entertainment, B.A.P’s South American tour that was scheduled for the first half of 2015, which included [stops] in the countries of Chile, Peru, and Argentina, has been officially cancelled.

We have done everything in our power to prevent the cancellation of this tour, to understand the repeated problems posed by TS Entertainment and above all, protect the enthusiasm of all the fans waiting for this tour, but due to the this situation, we had decided to cancel B.A.P – Live on Earth in the aforementioned countries.

We are really sorry for not being able to carry out this tour, and we want to make sure all the fans understand our disappointment and concern for the group. By the same token, we join in the annoyance with the company TS Entertainment for its lack of seriousness and professionalism to everything that has happened. We decided after this, to also cancel the original request of merchandising we were going to make, since the purchase of these products continue to generate revenue for the company. which as many will be/are aware, has not respected the fair profit [share] that the B.A.P’s members deserve. Also, we would like to clarify that HallyuTrend is still waiting on a response from the correspondents of TS Entertainment, and that they will be responsible for all damages caused by the hiring and cancellation of this tour.

We wish to clarify that HallyuTrend will not lower arms. We will continue working to fulfill the dreams of fans and bring the K-pop groups that you want to see, and in fact, we are already working hard on a concert for the first months of 2015. Please continue giving us your support!

We have always responded to your requests, we will respond this time and will not rest until all tickets are cancelled and all have recovered their money. We only ask for patience and understanding with the stipulated time, we do so in order to avoid further problems.”
