KATSEYE Cancels Summer Sonic Osaka Performance Due To 2 Members Falling Ill

KATSEYE will no longer be performing at Summer Sonic Osaka today.

On August 16 at midnight KST, KATSEYE announced that they would not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Osaka that day as originally scheduled. According to their agency, the cancellation was “due to two members feeling unwell, which has led to delays in their travel plans to ensure they can properly rest.”

However, because “both members have fully recovered and have been cleared to fly to Tokyo,” KATSEYE will still be performing at Summer Sonic Tokyo as scheduled on August 17.

In addition to the official announcement, the KATSEYE members also posted a handwritten letter to their fans expressing their regret at having to miss Summer Sonic Osaka.

The official cancellation announcement is as follows:

This is your KATSEYE community manager.

We are very sorry to share that KATSEYE will not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Osaka on Saturday, August 16, due to two members feeling unwell which has led to delays in their travel plans to ensure they can properly rest. We know many EYEKONS [KATSEYE’s fans] were looking forward to seeing KATSEYE at Summer Sonic Osaka and we sincerely apologize for the sudden change.

Your health and safety, as well as that of KATSEYE members, is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding. Both members have fully recovered and have been cleared to fly to Tokyo. KATSEYE looks forward to seeing EYEKONS at Summer Sonic Tokyo.

Thank you for your continued support for KATSEYE.

Meanwhile, KATSEYE’s full letter is as follows:
