Hello, this is Starship Entertainment.

We regret to announce that the 2020 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR IN SEOUL originally scheduled to be held on May 9 (Saturday), May 10 at KSPO DOME has been cancelled due to the current global coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

At this time, it is impossible to predict the scale of the outbreak during the dates of the concert in May. In order to prevent further damage and to protect the health of fans, artists and staff members, we ask for your understanding that we have decided to cancel our concert in Seoul.

We sincerely apologise for bringing the cancellation notice to the fans who have been waiting for MONSTA X’s concert.

We plan to secure a new schedule fo the concert in Seoul by keeping an eye on the situation so that the concert can be held again after the situation is stabilised.

Additional decisions will be made on Starship Entertainment’s official SNS channel.

Thank you.
