SEOUL – K-pop girl group I-dle have cancelled the North American leg of their ongoing world tour in August, their agency confirmed on April 20.
Cube Entertainment said the decision was made after “comprehensively considering global activity strategy, local schedules and overall conditions”.
“We are preparing to meet fans with more refined performances and diverse activities,” it added.
The group had been scheduled to perform in 10 cities across three countries in North America – including Hamilton in Ontario, Canada; Newark, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando, San Antonio, Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle in the US; and Mexico City in Mexico.
While the North American leg has been cancelled, upcoming performances in other regions, including Australia, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong, will proceed as planned.
I-dle kicked off their Syncopation world tour in February at Kspo Dome in Seoul, and have since performed in Taiwan and Thailand.
The group are set to release a new album in July. THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
