According to Kep1er's agencies, WakeOne and Clap Entertainment, on the previous day, Kep1er's fan concert scheduled to be held in Fuzhou, China on September 13 has been postponed due to unavoidable local circumstances. The news of Kep1er's local concert had initially raised expectations for a possible easing of the Hallyu ban in China, as it could have marked the first time in nine years that a K-pop idol group held a concert in mainland China.
