Concerns are arising as a concert featuring multiple K-pop artists, including aespa, BOYNEXTDOOR, ENHYPEN and &TEAM, is set to take place as planned despite a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hitting Japan just a day ago.

On January 1st, KROSS announced that it decided to proceed with the concert on January 2nd after careful consideration. However, the organizer added that if an earthquake is observed within Aichi Prefecture, the event may be canceled or postponed. 

The concert venue, located in Nagoya, is 250 kilometers (155.3 miles) away from Ishikawa Prefecture, where the earthquake hit on January 1st.

Meanwhile, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Ishikawa Prefecture on the coast of western Japan on Monday afternoon, resulting in 20 casualties. It was reported that the Japanese government ordered more than 97,000 people in nine prefectures neighboring the region to evacuate. According to NHK, over 140 aftershocks with over 2 magnitudes have been detected as of writing.
