BLACKPINK star Lisa explained: “Through our concert, we wanted to give you some sort of comfort during these difficult times”.

Band mate Rosé added: “But the most important thing is the health and safety of everyone taking part in THE SHOW. So, in order to make sure that we prepare for the concert in a safe environment, we have decided to postpone THE SHOW.”

BLACKPINK star Jennie ended the statement by praising those working to halt the pandemic: “Thank you so much to all the medical staff who are working nonstop to give their best efforts even at this moment, and all the people who are working very hard to disinfect, quarantine, and prevent the disease.”

THE SHOW will take place on January 31st.
