Singer Kang Daniel canceled his scheduled concert in New Jersey during his U.S. tour. On the 8th, Kang Daniel's concert "ACT : NEW EPISODE" was set to take place in Jersey City but was abruptly canceled two hours before the show started. The concert was sold out, and Kang Daniel was known to have thoroughly prepared for the performance.

The cancellation was due to a systemic issue discovered during the rehearsal on the day of the concert. Kang Daniel took the stage to apologize to fans, appearing wearing a hat and a shirt. He said to the fans, "I don't know what to say. I'm upset too, but I know you are more upset, sad, and angry than I am."

Fans comforted Kang Daniel, saying, "It's okay," "You don't have to apologize," and "It's not your fault." Kang Daniel added, "The tickets will be refunded by the organizer, and I hope something like this never happens to me again. This is the first time I've experienced something like this." He continued, "Someday, I want to meet you again in Jersey City and come back with more performances and more songs. I know you're upset, but I hope you still have a good day."

His agency, Aid, stated in an official position, "We did our best to proceed with the concert, but due to inadequate preparation of the local system and unexpected operational issues, we judged that it would be difficult to provide a safe and complete stage." They added, "We discussed with the local side until the last moment, but forcing the performance in an incomplete environment could be a greater disrespect to the fans, so we had no choice but to cancel the concert."

The agency also said, "Tickets purchased through the official ticket platform will be fully refunded automatically, and please check the email sent from the platform for refund information." Kang Daniel began his tour on the 3rd in Washington and is currently touring 12 cities in North America, including New York, Chicago, and LA. He plans to expand his stage to South America, meeting fans in Buenos Aires, Argentina, São Paulo, Brazil, and Mexico City.

The cancellation of the New Jersey concert is expected to have a significant impact on Kang Daniel's tour schedule. Fans are sending messages of support while waiting for his next performance. Kang Daniel values communication with his fans and is committed to presenting a more complete stage in future concerts.
