2011 Super Idol Big Concert cancelled

This year's Super Idol Big Concert was set to be held on June 11th. The location was the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium. Idol stars like G.NA, IU, Jay Park, and BEAST were set to perform for fans. However, officials revealed this morning that the concert had been cancelled.

They stated, "The 2011 Super Idol Big Concert was to be held on June 11th at the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium. However, it has been cancelled."

The official continued, "The reason for the cancellation is because of the promotional and marketing strategies. There was also an insufficient number of tickets sold for the concert." The sponsor intends to give the ticket holders a full refund, however, legal actions are still expected due to the primary company's loss of image and material damage.

The proceeds from the concert were going to be donated to support juvenile diabetes and multicultural families. The casting of idols like G.NA, Jay Park, IU, and BEAST were sure to bring in a large amount of proceeds, however, the concert has been cancelled.

Are you sad that the concert was cancelled?
