K-pop band BTS also issued a statement, claiming that their shows in Seoul, South Korea, on April 11, 12, 18, and 19, will not be taking place as it is impossible to, "predict the scale of the outbreak during the dates of the concert in April."

"We have thus determined that with approximately one month left before the Seoul concert is set to begin, it is unavoidable that the concert must be cancelled without further delay," they asked the ticket holders to contact their ticket provider.
