The year-end Sechs Kies dinner show that was scheduled to feature members Lee Jai-jin, Jang Su-won, and Go Ji-yong has been officially cancelled.
On November 10, the concert organizer Mountain Movement Story announced that the event titled ‘The Tree in Inspire – Sechs Kies’ Untold Story’ will be finally cancelled.
On the same day, a cancellation notice was also posted on the official fan cafe ‘POLICE’ for J-Walk (Jang Su-won and Kim Jae-duck).
The fan cafe stated, “We inform you that the previously announced 1-night 2-day Inspire event featuring Lee Jai-jin, Go Ji-yong, and Jang Su-won has been cancelled.”
They added, “We feel apologetic to deliver such disappointing news to fans who have been waiting for the event,” and advised, “Those who booked through the organizer or deposited participation fees via personal cash transactions should contact the organizer individually to request refunds and check the procedures.”
Controversy Over Ticket Payments and Final Contracts
Originally, the dinner show was scheduled to be held from December 15 to 16 in the Inspire Resort Tower Ballroom in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. Mountain Movement Story, which is also the agency for Go Ji-yong, organized the event and had previewed the appearance of three Sechs Kies members.
Go Ji-yong previously revealed the event preparation process and future activity plans through a media interview on the 6th.
However, the controversy arose when Lee Jai-jin announced his boycott through his social media on the same day.
Lee Jai-jin stated that he would not participate in the concert, saying, “Discussions regarding appearances did not lead to a final contract signing.”
Explaining the reason for his absence, he stated, “During the appearance consultation process, I identified issues related to the booking and payment methods for the event.”
He further claimed, “I learned that A, the representative of Mountain Movement Story, was individually contacting fans and receiving deposits into a personal account, and I have confirmed multiple times that fans who requested refunds have not yet received them.”
Organizer’s Stance and Event Cancellation
The organizer previously stated, “We express our sincere apologies to the fans who are experiencing confusion and those who have been waiting for the event,” adding, “We are reorganizing the event composition with relevant parties to minimize damage to the remaining event and our fans, and any confirmed matters will be guided transparently based on objective data.”
However, as the differences between the two sides regarding appearance and ticket payment methods could not be narrowed, news of the event cancellation was ultimately delivered.
