#SHOWBIZ: Mamamoo cancels Jakarta concert over volcanic activity
SEOUL: Female K-pop group Mamamoo has cancelled the Jakarta leg of its ongoing ‘4WARD’ world tour, citing safety concerns linked to recent volcanic activity in Indonesia.
K-pop group Mamamoo has canceled its Jakarta concert on September 19 for safety reasons due to recent volcanic activity in Indonesia. The decision was made after the group's agency, RBW, consulted with the local promoter. The eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau, which started on September 5, has caused ash plumes to reach heights of up to 15,000 meters and forced the closure of eight airports in western Indonesia.
Over 270,000 passengers were stranded, with more than 340,000 travelers affected and over 2,900 flights delayed, cancelled, or diverted. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta reopened on September 9 after several days of disruption. Indonesia's geology agency has kept Mount Anak Krakatau at Alert level, indicating a continued risk of eruptions.
Mamamoo is not the only K-pop act impacted; former Big Bang member T.O.P also canceled his Jakarta concert on the same date.
