Most are supportive of JYP Entertainment’s decision, regardless to the fact that it has become an inconvenience for a lot of fans — especially the ones that travelled to see TWICE in Malaysia.
I'm glad you put the artists and audience's safety first – I'm sorry for all those who waited to see them here, it must be really sad;😕

JYP sure knows what he's doing. Cancelling the concert last minute like that can be really hard for the fans & i feel so sad for them but everyone has to be safe, not just our girls but the fans as well. PLEASE BE UNDERSTANDING. 😢🙏
