It was reported that the invitation was originally sent in January however, the former chief of South Korea’s national Security Office, Kim Seong-han failed to mediate the message resulting in a delay. On the other hand, there are also reports circulating that the US government proposed that Korea bear the cost of the concert which is estimated to be around $2 million.

Due to the suggestion, The Office of the President of South Korea as per PopTingz announced that the group will not be performing at the anticipated state banquet which will celebrate the 70th anniversary of Korea-US relations. BLINKS are not happy with the results and shared their opinion by commenting on the tweet.

While fans are disappointed with the decision, the group’s schedule is already jet-packed. They are scheduled to perform at the Foro Sol Stadium in Mexico City on April 26-27 as part of their Born Pink World Tour which is set to conclude on July 15. Meanwhile, Jisoo’s debut solo debut song, Flower is out now.
