Fans Flood A.C.E With Support After Their Meet And Greet Was Suddenly Cancelled
Earlier today, A.C.E‘s company BEAT Interactive released an unexpected statement regarding their K:CONTACT 3 meet and greet event, scheduled for later the same day.
Hello, this is BEAT Interactive. The KCON:TACT 3 Meet & Greet, which was scheduled to take place on March 26, has been cancelled due to the artist’s personal reasons. We’ll be discussing the cancelled program with the hosting company and keeping you updated on what we decide. We apologize to the fans who looked forward to the event. Thank you.
–BEAT Interactive via Twitter
The announcement, posted at 12:41 AM KST, raised some concern among fans: not only was it posted at a surprising time, it is also quite vague, simply stating “personal reasons” as explanation for the cancellation.
I'm so stuck inbetween "it's personal, we should respect that and if they want to talk about they'll do at the right time" and "I'm worrying to death because I don't know what is going on and how bad the situation is" 😔😔💔

Due to these concerns, their fans, CHOICE, took to Twitter to send them words of support by using the hashtag #ChoiceWillStandByACE.

Some fans are also using this as an opportunity to remember good times they’ve spent with the group and their favorite videos!
maybe we can not see each other right now because of the current situation, maybe we can not see each other ever again
but DON'T forget that distance is not an impediment for choice since we love you no matter what❤️
