Boy group Block B has delayed the release of their new album because of the unfortunate sunken ferry tragedy.

Block B's agency Seven Seasons announced through their official Twitter and SNS on the 16th that they would be delaying the release of Block B's new single "Jackpot".

Block B stated, "This comeback title song is called 'Jackpot', and we were determined to show you an exciting performance. Because of the current situation, the members' state of mind doesn't match with this title song, so we won't be able to show you our best. That's why we adjusted the album release date."

They continued, "We offer a heartfelt apology to our fans that have shown much interest and anticipation. The first batch of the 'Jackpot' album will go on offline sales at music stores. When the initial volume is completely exhausted, we'll make plans for more."

Block B said, "We will give you more information as soon as our schedule is confirmed. We please ask for your understanding. We desperately hope that all the missing peoples will return safely into the arms of their loved ones."

Lastly they said, "It's illegal to extract the song from the music video and share, sell, or download it. We will take legal action with anyone who is caught sharing, selling, or downloading the song, so we ask that you please refrain."
