The Korean group favored Chinese fans and secretly deleted the Taiwanese flag! Fans praised Taiwan for opening ticket refunds

The Korean independent band "can't be blue" was originally scheduled to perform in Taiwan next month. However, it recently opened a Xiaohongshu and Weibo account and greeted Chinese fans in simplified Chinese. It was also discovered that they had secretly deleted the Taiwanese flag from past posts, sparking strong dissatisfaction among Taiwanese fans. The Taiwan organizer "NAC Can Entertainment" announced today that it will open a full refund service from now until November 5, which has been praised by a large number of netizens.

"can't be blue", which debuted in 2024, has performed in Taiwan many times in the past and was originally scheduled to hold a special concert at Zepp New Taipei on November 15 this year. However, some fans recently discovered that the band has opened Xiaohongshu and Weibo accounts, and the band members have specially filmed Chinese videos to greet Chinese netizens. Compared to the past, when promoting Taiwan shows, no Chinese videos were provided, making many Taiwanese fans feel left out.

What made fans even more angry was that some netizens dug out the promotional posts previously posted by the band members for the Taiwan concert and found that the "Taiwan flag" symbol originally marked had been quietly removed. They questioned the band's deliberate erasure of Taiwanese elements in order to enter the Chinese market and criticized it as "differential treatment."

In the face of overwhelming negative publicity, the agency issued an urgent bilingual statement in Traditional Chinese and English, explaining that it unified management of members' posts "in order to coordinate with global publicity and operational planning." However, the statement was obviously not recognized by Taiwanese fans, and the social platform was immediately flooded with messages demanding refunds.

The Taiwanese organizer "NAC Can Entertainment" issued an announcement earlier, emphasizing that in order to take care of fans, manual refunds will be accepted from now until 23:59 on November 5, 2015, and a 5% handling fee will be deducted for refunds. After the news was exposed, many fans left messages on the organizer's post, praising the organizer as "you are the best organizer in Taiwan", "the organizer is awesome", and "please learn from all the major organizers!".
