4th Gen Girl Group Sparks Huge Concern After Unexpectedly Canceling Multiple Activities 

All the activities are SBS radio shows…

Just days before their highly anticipated comeback, beloved fourth generation girl group H1-KEY has alarmed fans by abruptly canceling several scheduled radio appearances. As a result, speculation and concern has run rampant online.

Over the span of two days, three separate SBS radio programs — Bae Sungjae’s Ten, Wendy’s Young Street, and Cultwo Show — announced sudden changes to their upcoming guest lineups. While not all broadcasts directly named H1-KEY, the group had initially been booked for these appearances as part of promotions for their new release.

On June 24, Bae Sungjae’s Ten updated fans with a revised guest notice, replacing their “Ma.Fia” segment guests with another artist pairing. Just a day earlier, Wendy’s Young Street notified listeners that H1-KEY would no longer appear as planned.

More notably, hosts of the Cultwo Show are reported to have directly addressed H1-KEY’s cancellation on-air, expressing surprise at how close it was to the recording date.

The repeated changes — especially across a single broadcast network like SBS — have triggered a lot of speculation. Fans have begun to question whether the cancellations were due to internal company decisions or more serious, unforeseen circumstances.

Adding to the confusion is the timing. H1-KEY is set to drop their fourth mini album, Lovestruck, on June 26 (KST), marking a significant return nearly a year after their last comeback. Promotional activities in the lead-up to a release are typically crucial, making the group’s absence from these appearances even more puzzling.

As of now, neither H1-KEY’s agency nor SBS has offered an official explanation.
