Yunho's Seoul concert changed to Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium due to protest aftermath

The venue for TVXQ member U-Know Yunho’s solo concert, ″U-KNOW PROJECT 26: Shin Chapter One in Seoul,″ has been changed.
On the 7th, SM Entertainment announced through the official fan platform Weverse that the concert, scheduled from the 17th to the 19th, will be moved from the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium (Ticketlink Live Arena) in Songpa-gu, Seoul, to Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium. The agency explained that due to the continued unavailability of the original venue, the location was changed to ensure a stable performance. They also apologized for the delay in the announcement caused by the venue approval process.
Near the Ticketlink Live Arena, protests claiming election fraud related to the shortage of ballots during the 9th nationwide local elections held on June 3rd have continued for over a month. As a result, the venue has remained unsuitable for hosting cultural and artistic events. Previously, Nexon’s ″MapleStory″ showcase was relocated to KINTEX in Ilsan, singer Park Seo-jin’s encore concert was canceled, and the ″Seoul Park Music Festival″ was dispersed to other stages within Olympic Park just days before the event.
SM Entertainment stated that there will be no ticket rebooking due to the venue change, and seats will be assigned based on existing reservations. They also informed that it may be difficult to assign seats with the same location and conditions as initially booked due to the change in venue.
This Seoul concert marks the starting point of U-Know Yunho’s tour across major Asian cities including Macau, Singapore, Bangkok, Taipei, Jakarta, and Hong Kong. After the Seoul performances, U-Know Yunho is scheduled to release a new single, ″Time’s Tickin,″ on the 20th. This will be his first new release in about eight months since his first full-length album ″I-KNOW″ in November 2025. The single includes the title track ″Time’s Tickin″ and ″An Ordinary Story.″
