SEOUL – K-pop girl group I-dle has cancelled the North American leg of its ongoing world tour in August, its 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,” the agency added.
The group had been scheduled to perform in 10 cities across three countries in North America – including Hamilton, Ontario; Newark, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando, San Antonio, Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle in the US; and Mexico City.
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 its Syncopation world tour in February at Kspo Dome in Seoul and has since performed in Taiwan and Thailand.
The group is set to release a new album in July. THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
