The reports attributed the trend to strained bilateral relations and the Chinese authorities\u2019 tightening of restrictions on Japan-related activities.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   Last month, fan meetings for JO1, a group composed of Japanese members, as well as concerts by Japanese singers, including Maki Ohguro, known for the theme song for the Japanese animation \u201cOne Piece\u201d (1997-), were also canceled.  <br \/>   \u00a0  <br \/>   Le Sserafim is a five-member multinational girl group that debuted on May 2, 2022. Members Sakura and Kazuha are Japanese nationals.  <\/p>\n<p>BY YOON SEUNG-JIN [<a href=\"https:\/\/koreajoongangdaily.joins.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\" class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"562f3939387825332338313c3f38163c39393831373831783539783d24\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published: 13 Dec. 2025, 13:35 Girl group Le Sserafim performs at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on Nov.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":{"0":"post-345336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
