'Don't joke with me. I just got off the plane...' <- NCT WISH unable to perform at SM TOWN Concert in L.A. due to visa issuesㅠ

 

'Don't joke with me. I just got off the plane...' 


NCT WISH will not be able to join the SM TOWN LIVE 2025 in L.A. stage due to visa issues.

To perform on this stage with fans, we diligently completed all required procedures, including document submission and interviews to obtain visa approval. However, due to unexpected delays, we were unable to obtain the visa.

Currently, it's difficult to determine the exact reason or cause for the delay in approval. Although we did our best to resolve the issue, we ultimately could not obtain the visas and the group will not be able to perform on stage.

We are deeply saddened and feel heavy-hearted thinking of the fans who have been waiting and looking forward to NCT WISH's stage. We did our best to get the visa approved until the very last moment. We sincerely apologize for not being able to keep our promise.

Most of all, we deeply apologize for disappointing the fans who took their precious time to come and wait for the performance.

We will work harder to show you a better side of us in the future so that your support and expectations are not in vain.

Thank you. 

'This is so heartbreaking.'

SION: It's going to be my first time visiting Mexico and L.A., I'm really excited. 

If they canceled the flight 5 days ago, they must've already known it wouldn't work. So why did they delay this announcement?

Starting with Taeyeon, it really feels like they think fans are fools. It's not even some nearby place, it's the U.S. We're talking about hundreds of dollars...

They should compensate for the flight tickets, accommodation, and ticket prices. 

theqoo

-I mean... They should at least give compensation for thisㅋ Do they think posting a single announcement is enough?

-Didn’t something like this happen before, too? Wasn’t it with Taeyeon?

-Why are they blaming this on a visa delay...?

-The U.S. is one to blame here. Visa issues are unavoidable, there's nothing you can do about it.

-Are they out of their minds? They should compensate the fans.

-Why do they always announce things so late?? Are they deliberately messing with the fans?

-So all the other artists got their visas approved except NCT WISH???

-Why didn’t they check earlier if they could enter the U.S. with the visa they got???

-This is just Trump’s fault. It’s just like a natural disaster.

-What did the fans do to deserve this, seriously?

-If they think there's gonna be an issue, they should've announced it in advance... At least let the fans know so they can make plan B.

-Among the idols who went to SM TOWN Concert, there are Japanese and Chinese nationals. They have f*cking diverse nationals there. So why did this problem only happen to NCT WISH?ㅠㅠ

-But both the idols and the companies must've suffered losses too because of this... Why is everyone blaming SM?

-It's not like the issue happened because they applied lateㅋㅋ U.S. visas these days are a total gamble.

-If the flight was canceled 5 days ago, then the company is definitely the one to blameㅠ

The current audience at SM TOWN Concert in Mexico as it begins

 

It looks so f*cking excitingㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

theqoo 

-There are so many people?!

-Oh... It looks like it's raining, but the venue is quite full...?

-I can see some empty seats on the 2nd floor, but overall, it's pretty well-filled.

-I heard it's raining there... I hope everyone enjoys the concert safely.

-I heard it rained heavily earlier, I guess it stopped now. Since they went all the way there, I hope both the artists and audience have a great time.

-That looks like a lot of fun.

-Why do they hold agency concerts abroad?? I don't think it's for promotion.

-Isn't this SM TOWN Concert? Of course, they should be able to fill the venue.

-The stage is so close.

-As long as the people who go there have fun, nothing else really mattersㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... There are so many different kind of light sticksㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-People on Theqoo kept saying this concert flopped, but it's actually quite full, huh?

-Why are there so many people who wanted this concert to flop...? I hope everyone there has a great time!

-It's not empty at all.

-It looks like they sold the tickets just fine...? I hope all fans have a great time with the artists.

Former idol Nam Taehyun cancels performance ... Turns out caught drunk driving while on probation for drug charges

 

https://n.news.naver.com/article/469/0000863590?sid=102

Nam Taehyun (31), former member of the group WINNER, is once again under police investigation after being caught drunk driving while on probation for previous drug charges.

According to police on the 8th, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul booked Nam Taehyun on charges of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act on April 27. Nam Taehyun is accused of causing an accident around 4:10 AM near Dongjak Bridge on the Gangbyeonbuk-ro expressway heading towards Ilsan while driving under the influence. He reportedly hit the central divider while trying to overtake another vehicle. Fortunately, no one was injured. At the time of the incident, his blood alcohol concentration was at a level that would result in the cancellation of his driver's license (0.08% or higher).

January last year, Nam Taehyun was sentenced to one year in prison with a two-year suspended sentence for violating the Narcotics Control Act. He had been charged for using 0.5g of methamphetamine (Philopon), which he and Seo Minjae (32), allegedly purchased via Telegram and mixed with alcohol in 2022. At the time, police began investigating after Seo Minjae revealed on her social media that she had used drugs with Nam Taehyun. Even while under investigation for the drug charges in March 2023, Nam Taehyun received a summary fine of 6 M KRW for a separate drunk driving incident.

Considering that this new incident occurred during his probation period, the police applied for an arrest warrant on May 2. However, the court rejected the warrant on the 7th, stating, "There was no risk of evidence being destroyed." A police official stated, "After further investigation, we plan to refer Nam Taehyun to the prosecution without detention."

Nam Taehyun was scheduled to have his comeback performance at a music festival held at a small theater in Hongdae on May 6. However, following the incident, he abruptly canceled the performance on May 4. At the time, it was reported that he canceled the performance due to feeling pressured by the strong public criticism regarding his return. In March, he had posted on his social media, saying, "I spend each day reflecting and repenting sincerely. I want to repay those who waited for me not with more controversy, but with music that brings comfort." Currently, that post has been deleted. He is currently scheduled to release an album on May 9.

Before his sentencing in the drug use case in October 2023, Nam Taehyun also made headlines in October 2023 when he appeared as a witness at a National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee, where he spoke about his drug rehabilitation experience.

theqoo

-I don't think I've seen a single male idols who turn out to be normal after leaving their group.

-What the hell is wrong with him...?

-People… don’t change easily.

-I was rooting for him because it seemed like he was trying to live a better life through rehab... Oh God.

-Didn’t he say he wanted to live properly…?

-I thought he had come to his senses, but as expected...

-How far is he going to fall, seriously?

-I just hope to never see his face ever again.

-I'm not even surprised.

-I want to slap myself for recently saying that he had come to his senses and was becoming a better person.

-Oh Gosh... Does he still have fans?

-Seems like drunk driving is a habit to him. He got caught in 2023 and again last month.

-Again?

-He’s really just living recklessly.

-He’s already hit rock bottom as a human being.

Stabbed in the neck 9 times? ... 'Kim Saeron recording' informant changes story, admits to fake photos

 CEO of Youtube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, Kim Se-eui, released a video sent by informant 'A' on the 7th.

In the video, A claimed to have been discharged from the hospital 6 days after being attacked in New Jersey, USA, on May 1. Claiming to have sustained serious stab wounds on both arms, A stated that he was filming the video with his right hand because he couldn't use his left hand. A also showed the wounds on his arms and hands, which appeared to have been treated with antiseptic. A explained, "My hand shakes when I try to film my right shoulder. I can't remove the bandage on my fingers on my own because of the nerve issues. Initially, the bleeding wouldn't stop, but now it's under control.

Previously, during a press conference held on the same day, Kim Se-eui claimed that A had been stabbed in the neck with a sharp weapon and required over 20 stitches. However, within half a day, the location of the injury had changed.

In particular, the medical report that Kim Se-eui released states that A underwent surgery for a deep cut on the right shoulder. There is no confirmation of injuries to the left hand, upper right arm, or neck, as claimed by A and Kim Se-eui. Based on the report, it's also questionable how A could film the video with his right hand if his right shoulder was really severely injured.

A's photos were fake ... 'It's true. I sent a fabricated recording'


It has been confirmed that the photos of A's neck and hand that Kim Se-eui revealed at the press conference were stolen from a stock image website.

In response, A explained, "My Caucasian wife caused a misunderstanding. There was some tension between us." He continued, "At the time of the incident, I wasn't in a position to contact my family directly. In the end, I sent the photo, which the hospital provided as an example of what the injuries looked like, to (Garo Sero Research Institute) writer along with a voice note explaining it."

He continued, "Isn't it ridiculous to take pictures after getting stabbed? What kind of wife would point a camera at her husband after he's been attacked with a weapon?"

A also admitted to deliberately sending a fabricated recording to Kim Soohyun's agency, Gold Medalist. However, his explanation for doing so was confusing. He stated, "The reason I sent this is because I had already decided to send something to them. If I didn't send it, they would think that I was a spy. So I purposely sent something absurd."

The forensic also shows that Kim Saeron's recording is fake


A, who claimed to have heard from Kim Saeron about her relationship with Kim Soohyun sent a voice recording to Garo Sero Research Institute. In the file, she stated that she dated Kim Soohyun in 2015, when she was still a minor.

However, there are suspicions that the voice recording sent by A was fabricated. On May 7, former journalist and Youtuber Lee Jinho held a press conference and revealed a forensic report stating that the voice recording was manipulated.

Lee Jinho explained, "The recording in question is found to have been created using AI-generated voice, with a third party, namely A, adding his own voice and background noise. I was shocked at how advanced AI technology has become. This person not only attempted to contact me, but also Kim Soohyun's side to demand a large sum of money. Kim Soohyun’s team reviewed the audio and confirmed they decided to ignore it."

theqoo

-This is exactly the reason why you should never side with Garo Sero Research Institute no matter how desperate you are.

-Hul... So it was actually AI-generated?? Why go this far? I was seriously shocked yesterday, I thought that was real.

-So Lee Jinho is claiming that the voice recording is AI-generated, right???

-Huh?? So the voice recording was fake?

-Why would you trust Garo Sero Research Institute in the first place...

-I really hope people would leave the late Kim Saeron alone...

-Yeah... This one felt too much like a made-up story.

-I wonder if all of this is intentionally...

-So the voice recording was fake and the claim of the informant being stabbed was also a lie??

-This is so frustrating... I feel bad for Saeron.

-Honestly, it sounded fake;; Saeron's tone was too flat and consistent. It sounded like AI-generated.

-This only makes the real truth get buried... Sigh...

-Yeah... If he did get stabbed at a US airport, it would've already made the news.

-Does this informant even exist?

-Isn't this crazy? The informant faked everything?? Why would someone go this far??
