B.A.P's South American Tour Cancellation Raises Confusion For Fans

The cancellation of B.A.P's South American tour is raising some concern about the health of the group's members.

The idol group B.A.P was in Mexico when its company, TS Entertainment, issued a statement revealing that upcoming November concerts in South America were going to be cancelled. The statement, released in Korean, English, Spanish, and Japanese on B.A.P's official Facebook page, said that B.A.P's members needed to rest and so they would be cancelling B.A.P Live On Earth 2014 South American Attack.

2014 has seen several accidents and member hiatuses due to the jam-packed schedules, and the cancellation of B.A.P's South American tour is the latest victim.

The concert tour was set to begin on November 2 in Argentina, and then the five member idol group would head to Chile and Peru. Cancelling the tour so close to the start date due to fatigue has caused some concern about B.A.P member's health, and has also raised questions as why B.A.P is now resting after having previously promoted non-stop for months on end.

In comparison to 2012 and 2013, the past year was a relatively slow one for B.A.P. During 2012, the idol group debuted and released three single albums and one EP, and not only promoted those songs but also appeared on numerous variety shows. In 2013, the group released two EP's and debuted in Japan with two singles. The group also held two concert tours, one in Korea and one in Japan, in 2013.

In 2014, B.A.P released one Korean studio album and one Korean single album, along with a Japanese single. The group has been touring the world since March, but B.A.P's last performance was at the end of June in Bangkok. B.A.P also won the "Best Korea Act" award at the 2014 MTV EMA on October 23.

The fact that B.A.P slowed down promotions in Korea and cancelled a step of its concert tour only a week before the start has led fans on Facebook to express both upset and worry. Commenters also thanked TS Entertainment for taking into account the health of the members.  

A few comments expressed confusion over why B.A.P was performing at Music Bank In Mexico.

Music Bank In Mexico will be held in Mexico City on October 30.
