Meanwhile, WEi decided to cancel all of its concerts in Latin America in June. However, OUI Entertainment’s boy group will exclude Mexico City, so they will still hold a concert there on June 4.
According to the agency’s statement, the concert was canceled due to problems with local concert promotion company MC Entertainment. That is why, they were unable to continue the tour entitled “PASSION” in Latin America.

On Monday (5/15/2023), the promoter of iKON’s concert in Madrid, Jin Entertainment, shared an announcement about the postponement of the “TAKE OFF” world tour through its Twitter account. They promised to make refunds for those who bought concert tickets.
In addition, Jin Entertainment also stated that iKON’s concert, which was to be held in Madrid on June 21, 2023, was postponed indefinitely. So, they cannot confirm the exact date for the replacement concert.
Starting from member health problems to promoter negligence, of course, there are many reasons that can make a concert have to be postponed or canceled. For example, Red Velvet postponed its concert in Thailand because Wendy was infected with COVID-19.
