The SSE Arena in Belfast has issued a statement following complaints related to a K-Pop tribute show.
Many parents and children walked out of the The K-Pop Forever Tribute show, claiming it wasn’t as advertised.
The K-Pop Forever Tribute show opened on Thursday night.
Many of the children who attended were dressed up as characters from the popular movie K-Pop Demon Hunters. Many of the attendees thought the show would be centred on Demon Hunters, failing to understand that the genre covers a wide range of bands and music.
The SSE said:
We are aware of some feedback received following the K-Pop Forever Tribute show this evening at The SSE Arena, Belfast.
The show played in Belfast tonight as part of a world tour, and the content, design and choreography has been built to represent the full K-Pop genre, featuring songs from BTS, Blackpink and Katseye, as well as eight hits from Demon Hunters including ‘Golden’, ’Takedown’ and ‘Soda Pop’.
Whilst the majority of customers enjoyed the show, we understand that this was not what some expected; however, we are content that the show delivered this evening was an arena-standard tribute to the entire K-Pop genre.
