Hello, this is RBW.
We are sorry that we were not able to pay attention the opinions of the fans and cause concern.
We are aware and take responsibility of this boycott, and we will be working hard so that this does not happen again by listening to the fans' various opinions and applying them to MAMAMOO's promotions.
The concert '4season F/W' is part of what was planned for the 'Four Season Four Color Project.' Because of this, the bulk of concert planning has proceeded already, and [postponing it] could affect future release dates as well. We must go on with the concert as planned, so please understand.
We apologize for disappointing and worrying fans.
We will put our artist MAMAMOO's health first, and do our best to manage their safety.
Thank you.
What do you think of their response?
I don't like these boycott/company harassment actions. I think people genuinely mean well but it's still essentially trying to pressure the girls to behave in a certain way by using the power fans have over artists' livelihoods and image. That can be used for bad reasons as well as good. At the end of the day, they obviously aren't going to cancel a pre-arranged concert unless it's absolutely necessary. Pushing for it is the wrong way to express concern. No matter what happens with the show, you can bet the company and investors will get paid, but the members may not...
If the members were in support of this then that's another thing, but I haven't heard of anything like that. Maybe they do need a rest but if they do want to fulfill their schedules it's not for fans to try to parent them.
