Despite concerns following a recent 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Japan, multiple K-pop artists, including aespa, BOYNEXTDOOR, ENHYPEN, and &TEAM, remain committed to performing at the scheduled KROSS concert.
Amidst deliberation, KROSS affirmed the event's continuation for January 2nd but highlighted a contingency plan. Should another earthquake occur within Aichi Prefecture, where the concert is set, cancellation or postponement might be considered.
Nagoya, the concert's venue, stands at a considerable distance of 250 kilometers (155.3 miles) from Ishikawa Prefecture, the site of the recent earthquake. The quake on January 1st caused casualties and prompted evacuations across several affected regions, with over 140 aftershocks reported by NHK.
As the situation unfolds, the determination of these K-pop acts to proceed underscores their commitment to their fans while acknowledging the ongoing seismic challenges faced in Japan.
