Or at least it appears to be.
On October 11, 2008, the broadcasting powerhouse, MBC planned a huge music festival to commemorate their 40th anniversary. Instead, they canceled the concert at the last minute without rhyme or reason. Although people are speculating it is due to lack of planning, the festival has been promoted since August, so this is not an excuse. Besides, MBC would probably not cancel such a huge celebration unless they had a major problem on their hands.
Oh well, hopefully all those people who bought tickets will be able to receive a full refund. And for those overseas fans who stayed in Korea to attend this concert after the 2008 Asia Song Festival, tough beans.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok….now i just read the article….lol
anyway…glad im too broke to fly to korea to attend a concert!! that would suck!!!
WAsn’t there other problems?
like one company ducked out?
there were some rumors that yg had problems then SM cancelled then jyp canceled
or something
lol..
dannnnnnnnnnnggggggg big festival is right!!!
jewelery, SNSD, wondergirls, big bang, DBSK, SHINee…
thats crazyness!! i wanna go!!!
^ lol jyp…
that guy is just so hilarious and creepy
bummer…well I would understand if there was a reason but so far no reason at all?
they named it FESTA…. if they named it FIESTA – - then a celebration would’ve ensued.
ouch!
omg i was looking forward to this. i was wondering why there weren’t any fancams surfacing. totally bummed.
@thatscause – good one! lol.
too bad for those who bought tickets. would’ve been the place to see lots of popular singers. altho i think this one was never part of the DBSK schedule. so im surprised they were in the poster. lol
so sad…i won’t see big bang perform…
big bang was actually the last ones to cancel.. weren’t they?
it’s pretty sad, they cancelled at LAST SECOND, literally.
some fans from japan and other places were already in korea,
when they found out that the concert was cancelled.
what a shame tsk tsk.
That sucks!
oh well……..hahaha
and JYP……he gives me nightmares. = =”
Kwon -> you probably wanna clarify your second sentence you’re talking about MBC and/or artists in general.
anyway, I hope this doesn’t turn into the Peace Concert..
What’s a Festa?
To many shows in production, I guess. Or somebody is mad because their artist aren’t going.
u are always so late on news…sheesh
wow, concert cancellations in korea is rampant. never had that many in my country (probably just one or two). poor planning perhaps?
How unprofessional. If I went to attend, I’d get so pissed for getting my hopes up.
@rika
whats wrong with jyp?
i dont get it
Festa means PARTY in Portuguese… I’d know that, it’s my native language ;3
Kinda sad they cancelled it, there were some pretty big names there that I’d love to watch~
I can’t imagine how many pissed off fans there are who were anticipating this (those who brought tickets and those who were planning to watch it on television) O__o Hopefully they will get refunds and MBC will have a good reason for it.
i read somewhere SM first canceled it. is that true?

FESTA mwoya?!
snsd is the reason for the cancellation if you know what i mean…
I WENT TO THIS CONCERT HAVING TO TAKE A 7 HOUR BUS RIDE TO GET THERE.
OMG. MBC SHOULD FULLY PAY MY BUS FARES, IT WAS 80 DOLLARS.
it was really crazy there, i arrived at like 5.30 and thats around the time the kbs camera came interviewing people. and random cassiopeia’s started screaming DONGBANGSHINKI just so the camera would capture them pouring their hearts out to their beloved tvxq :L
this man was fully swearing about lee soo man :L
sm canceled first cause mbc apparently didn’t hand in the money even to the last day, and lee soo man didn’t want to take his singers just incase it was a “hoax” and then jyp took wondergirls out, and thats why it was canceled(or one of the reasons)
sighh. i wasted 14 hours riding to a canceled concert ==
mbc even sent us a sms telling us to come to the concert on time…HOW GAY IS THAT
aaaah…the poster wasnt convincing enough for me when the first time i saw it, yeah this is blah…just wonder why they cancelled this and…this is old news eh? it’s kinda late..
lol~ more broadcasting cancellations- nice~
GOD!!! that sucks!!!!
I feel bad to the people who bought tickets… though even their money are back.. T______T
MBS should be more responsible now becuase they dissapoint so much people.. T___T
@angel
The writer(s) of that website is really disgusting. I’m sorry to say that to someone, but for the person(s) who want to destroy other people intentionally by spreading made-up thoughts through the internet, I has no respect to them. That website is different than the most-of-the-time bashing sites like here, AKP, or soulbeats. Over there is pure hates.
ah man,that sucks..tempers must be flaring
Festa or Fiesta?
Hmmm…
Or maybe it’s just italian o_0
OMG, I’m so glad now that I couldn’t make it! I was planning to buy tickets but since Ulsan was waaay on the other side of the country from where I live it would cost too much to rent a room at a hotel and buy tickets while still have enough money for transportation/food/etc.
That’s sad though, I hope those people got refunds!
oh wow , that sucks so many fans will be dissapointed .
