Bad news has emerged regarding H.O.T.’s concert. The ″2025 Hanteo Music Festival″ has been rescheduled, and H.O.T.’s appearance on JTBC’s ″Newsroom″ has also been postponed.
Hanteo Global announced on the 22nd that the festival, originally set for September 6th and 7th at Seoul World Cup Stadium, faced structural limitations during stage simulations and on-site inspections. These limitations hindered the ability for audiences and artists to interact closely, making it difficult to ensure the expected level of immersion. As a result, both the venue and schedule have been changed.
While some performers may change due to the rescheduling, H.O.T. will remain a headliner. Hanteo Global emphasized the importance of preparing a venue that aligns with the festival’s characteristics, allowing audiences to enjoy the event comfortably.
This concert marks H.O.T.’s first full group performance in nearly six years, following their 2019 concert at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome. September 7th, the original date for the concert, is particularly significant as it marks H.O.T.’s 29th debut anniversary, a date eagerly anticipated by fans.
Hanteo Global assured fans that the revised concert schedule and venue will be announced through official channels as soon as possible, along with details regarding refunds and ticket rescheduling procedures. They expressed their commitment to repaying the trust of their fans.
Additionally, H.O.T.’s scheduled appearance on JTBC’s ″Newsroom,″ intended to promote the ″Hanteo Music Festival,″ has also been postponed, likely due to the concert schedule change.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting H.O.T.’s full group concert, and this schedule change is expected to bring significant disappointment. Since their debut in 1996, H.O.T. has been a pioneering force in K-pop, maintaining a loyal fanbase. This concert holds special meaning for many.

Despite the unfortunate situation, H.O.T. is committed to fulfilling their promise to fans. Hanteo Global stated that they will not forget the dedication of fans who have waited patiently and will prepare a concert that everyone can enjoy and relate to. This commitment aims to strengthen the bond between H.O.T. and their supporters.
The changes to H.O.T.’s concert schedule have generated significant buzz among K-pop fans, who are eagerly awaiting official announcements about future plans. H.O.T.’s concert is expected to be more than just a music event; it will serve as a bridge between generations.
