'Music Bank in Chile' canceled mid-show due to extreme weather conditions causing safety issues

'Music Bank in Chile' was canceled mid-show.

On November 12, the Chile concert, which was held at the Estadio Monumental in Santiago, was eventually canceled due to worsening weather conditions. 

The Estadio Monumental venue is a completely open stadium, and there was no place to hide from the torrential rain. Although the rain had started well before the concert began, 50,000 fans were in attendance, and some of the acts still carried out their performances as scheduled.

However, the weather got even worse after performances from STAYC and The Boyz, and during (G)I-DLE's performance, it was raining so hard that even hail began to fall. This compromised safety, with (G)I-DLE member Shuhua even falling on stage. As a result, (G)I-DLE ended their performance and the rest of the concert – including performances from TXT, NCT Dream, and ATEEZ – was canceled.

In response to the cancelation, different idols scheduled took to social media to extend their apologies to fans.

"I wanted to show you a great performance. I'm so sorry," Yeonjun of TXT said in a tweet published in Spanish. "Next time, I'll show you a better scenario. I'm sorry, and I thank the fans who have been waiting for us. And I love you. ❤️"

Jisung of NCT Dream also took to Kwangya Club to address fans who came, saying, "Everyone who came to 'Music Bank Chile,' be careful of catching a cold. When we went to greet the fans, there were a lot of crying fans, and I felt so bad."

Meanwhile, the Chile concert signaled 'Music Bank's return to the region for the first time in three years, following the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was hosted by SF9's Rowoon and the scheduled lineup included TXT, ATEEZ, The Boyz, STAYC, (G)I-DLE, and NCT Dream.

It's a shame for the groups that traveled many hours, for the fans who traveled from other countries and the fans from Chile, but safety comes first.

The videos of (G)i-dle performing Latata in the middle of a storm is horrific, why would they let them perform in those conditions?
