SEVENTEEN’s China Fan Meeting 2024 event postponed due to aircraft malfunction
K-pop trendsetters SEVENTEEN faced an aircraft malfunction while trying to travel to Beijing for their July 29th fan event. The organizers issued a public statement informing fans that the event had been postponed.
The statement read: “Despite much communication and scheduling, a temporary change to a different flight was not possible, so the members could not arrive on time. With the safety of our artists as our top priority, after careful review, we have inevitably decided to postpone Seventeen’s fan signing event that was originally scheduled for July 29th.”
As many fans would not be able to get a refund for having to cancel their accommodation and other things, the organizers assured them of fair compensation. The statement added, “We will settle the cost of any loss due to refunds for transportation, lodging, etc.”
