K-pop stars GOT7 have scrapped three upcoming concerts in Thailand and Singapore over health concerns as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread worldwide.
The South Korean band had been due to take its “Keep Spinning World Tour” to Bangkok on February 15 and 16, but event organisers at 4NOLOGUE have since announced the dates have been pulled, citing “coronavirus proliferation concerns”.
Another gig in Singapore, booked for February 22, was also cancelled due to the same reason.
The news emerges days after fears over the coronavirus prompted managers for Super Junior to pull the plug on a pair of promotional shows near Seoul in South Korea on Tuesday, February 4 to support the boy band’s new album.
Meanwhile, K-pop stars TWICE have axed a trip to Tokyo, Japan for a fan meet-and-greet, as have singers Kang Sung Hoon and Kim Woo Seok, who ditched planned gatherings in their native South Korea.
The coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, where more than 300 people have died since its discovery in late December (2019), while confirmed cases have since been reported in over 20 other countries, including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, France, Germany, and Japan.
