On April 5, YG Entertainment officially announced the cancellation of Black Pink's comeback press conference.
The label stated, "We have decided to cancel Black PInk's comeback press conference, scheduled for April 5 at 11 AM KST. We are currently sympathizing with the suffering of the Gangwon province citizens due to the Goseong-Sokcho wildfire, and came to this decision. We ask for the fans who waited for this press conference for their understanding. We also deliver our comforts to those affected by the fire, as well as those working hard to put out the flames."
The wildfire which began late in the evening of April 4 in the Goseong-Sokcho area, has caused 2 deaths and 11 estimated injuries, in addition to the evacuation of over 3,000 residents.
I may sound insensitive to the gravity of the wildfire devastation, but I assure that I didn't intend to belittle the seriousness of the natural disaster. However, I can't help myself but to say "YG exercising moral righteousness now really? Inconceivable!"
