Yunho Changes Concert Venue Amidst Vote Counting Site Blockade Protests

K-pop star Yunho, a member of the popular duo TVXQ, has been forced to relocate his upcoming concert due to persistent protests at the original venue. The concert, initially scheduled for July 17-19 at the Ticketlink Live Arena in Seoul's Olympic Park, will now take place at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium.

The disruption stems from ongoing protests at the original venue, which was used as a vote counting location during the ninth nationwide local elections on June 3. Protesters claim election fraud and have occupied the site for over a month, rendering concert preparations impossible. This situation has led to the postponement or cancellation of other events, including a MapleStory showcase and Weverse Con, with singer Park Seojin's concert being canceled entirely.

SM Entertainment, Yunho's agency, announced that ticket holders will not need to re-book their tickets; existing reservations will be reassigned to new seats. Fans wishing to cancel their tickets can receive a full refund until July 15. Yunho is also set to release his new solo single, 'Time Traveling,' on July 20, shortly after the concert.
