BoA cancels upcoming concert due to knee injury
The news was revealed by her agency, SM Entertainment, stating that the fifth solo concert will not proceed due to her health situation.
"Due to her recent worsening knee pain, BoA was diagnosed with acute osteonecrosis requiring surgical treatment. According to the medical team's advice, in order to prevent further deterioration of the condition, she must avoid strenuous activities and dancing and undergo surgery as soon as possible, so we have decided to cancel the originally planned concert," it explained.
Although the cancellation of the concert is regrettable, SM Entertainment said that this year is still very important to BoA, seeing that it is her 25th year in showbiz.
"In order to respond to the expectations of fans, we will release the new album that has been produced as scheduled without any postponement plans. As for whether to hold concerts again in the future, it will be announced again depending on BoA's recovery after surgery," they added.
The concert was originally scheduled to be held on 30 and 31 August at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul.
