J.Y.J’s Jaejoong apologizes for the one hour delay at their concert in Seoul

JYJ’s ‘Worldwide Concert in Seoul‘ was recently held at the Jamsil Sports Complex Olympics Stadium on the evening of November 27th. However, setbacks near the beginning of the concert unfortunately forced fans to wait in the freezing cold for an hour.

Due to a sudden hailstorm on the day of the event, the marquee that was covering the roofless stadium had ripped, and various stage equipment needed to be adjusted in order for a safe showcase to be held.



JYJ member Yoochun stated, “We put in a lot of effort to prepare for this concert, but because of the hailstorm this morning, the tent ripped completely. We thought the ripped covering would hurt the spectators and decided to remove it, which consequently resulted in a delay.”



Jaejoong also expressed a word of apology on his Twitter after the event, as he said:

“Because of the ripped ceiling due to the sudden hailstorm, we had to change around a lot of the stage, so we’re sorry that we couldn’t do the laser show and couldn’t use the front assistant stage.. and because of that, we had a longer rehearsal and had setbacks and delays, which we’re very sorry for as well.. Thank you for smiling even when it was cold.. We’ll show a better concert tomorrow..



We were really excited up until the concert day.. the fact that a show like no other had turned into a total disaster.. The moment we went to the concert venue this morning.. I had tears in my eyes. What Junsu was most sad about was that, the moment the ceiling got ripped because of the natural disaster, he said he felt like he was lying to the fans..

But since we had to have a good concert.. We quickly changed the cue sheet and stage.. We won’t have a roof tomorrow either, but we’ll show a better concert than today. Fighting.!



Even though there’s a saying that it’s better to give your ‘best effort’ than showing the ‘best’, we wanted to show our ‘best efforts’ on the ‘best’ stage. We’re just really happy and thankful for everyone who came to the concert today. I will sleep tonight thinking of that. For the people who are coming to the concert tomorrow.. It’s really cold so please come in warm clothes.”
