’2011 Yangpyung Wonder Breeze Music Festival’ faces heat for canceling two days early


The ‘2011 Yangpyung  Wonder Breeze Music Festival‘ is receiving a ton of backlash for abruptly cancelling concerts. The event was supposed to take place from October 1st to the 3rd at Yangpyung’s Life Sports Park in Yongmunmyun. While a concert was held on October 1st, organizers had to suspend performances for the remaining two days.
One of the groups who were scheduled to make an appearance was 2AM. An official from Big Hit Entertainment commented on October 3rd, “One month earlier, we made plans for 2AM to attend this concert. However, prior to the concert, we received a cancellation notice…We’re aware there was a financial issue.”
Indie band, The Koxx, was also scheduled to perform. An official from their company, Master Plan, stated, “We received a notice that the concert couldn’t continue on… It seems that the organizers had extremely difficult financial problems from the start.”
The cancellation drew loud complaints from all those who anticipated going, as the concept and line-up were said to be top-notch. The event revolved around a “romantic autumn getaway” concept, and the artists scheduled to perform included Leessang and Jung In, BMK, 2AM, Kim Tae Woo, The Koxx, and Guckkasten. In addition, 39 other teams were also slated to perform music that fit the overall theme.
In response, the event organizers posted an apology on their homepage. They stated,
“We sincerely apologize to the performers for any inconveniences. The event did not proceed as smoothly as we had hoped…We ended the event two days early because we faced changes in the musician lineup…We also canceled the third day because we faced an unavoidable circumstance…Following the musician line-up change on the second day and the third day cancellation, we prepared refunds. Please expect to get your refunds within four days.”
Meanwhile, the sponsors of this event have threatened to file a lawsuit against the organizers for the abrupt nature of the two-day cancellation.
