When an idol goes on tour in another country, usually, a secondary agency handles things on the domestic side. Unfortunately, there has been more than one occasion when a local promoter has disappointed fans, and the idol has suffered.
Fans Expose WM Entertainment’s Tour Agency For Leaking Idol’s Private Information In Secret Chat Rooms
Recently, a tour promoter’s activities have sparked outrage among netizens.
GOT7‘s Jay B just wrapped up the American leg of his Tape Re:Load world tour, his first solo tour in America.
Fans were thrilled over the announcement and waited for the tour to begin. However, just days before, it was announced that two concerts, the LA and Atlanta dates, had to be postponed due to visa issues.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT – NEW TOUR DATES
Thank you for your patience as we worked through the recent changes. We are now able to confirm the new dates for the postponed shows of JAY B [TAPE: RELOAD] IN THE US:

The dates were soon announced to be rescheduled to different dates, creating the first larger signs of potential issues with the tour.
The new dates gave the idol at most one day between events, with the Houston date the day after the newly scheduled LA date, while the new Atlanta, Washington D.C, and Chicago dates happened one after another. Fans pointed out their concerns with this, worrying not only for the idol but the possibility of delays.
I know it was hard to find a date to reschedule but
LA – 8th
Houston – 9th
Chicago – 11th
Atlanta – 12th
DC – 13thHe is going to be super tired.
It’s so risky, with pre-show activities all it’ll take is one delayed flight to mess up a schedule. This is just rough all… https://t.co/MNiCLu3psp— kebab ☁︎ (@jiaermusic) June 2, 2025
These concerns turned out to be valid, with the company announcing a delay in starting time for the Houston event. Fans also reported heavy disorganization and had fans waiting extra hours in 90+ degree weather.
I went to the Houston stop and they had us waiting in the heat for hours and everything was delayed. I was sweating so bad that my clothes were stuck to my skin… then they rushed the group photos and didn’t have that organized whatsoever

people who are praising the Konnect’d ent team also suspiciously got a very good queue numbers and seem to know them personally so please take good reviews with a grain of salt bc all their events have had massive problems. What happened in Houston was also unacceptable.

I just realized we went to the Houston show and I didn’t make a single tweet. That’s how bad it was . @KonnectdEnt you guys really suck. The Houston and Atlanta venues were not worthy of Jaebeom and you have ruined our chances of his returning here. pic.twitter.com/Lnin9adVQ9

Jay B also hinted more than once at his physical state, saying that the schedule was too packed and that he “wanted to go home.”
he said he wanna go home and rest and that the tour schedule is too tight 🙁 #JayB_TapeReLoad_Chicago

The next date, the rescheduled Atlanta date, ended up being cancelled. Shortly after the opening artist took the stage, the building was struck by lightning and caused technical issues that could not be fixed in time.
Fans shared they were promised refunds for the show portion, and that they were all given the hi-wave benefit.

However, the notice only came after fans placed pressure on the company, with many also finding issue with a specific tier’s refund.
VIP benefits aren’t VIP benefits if everyone gets them. It’s unfair to make some people still pay for certain benefits that others ended up getting for free.
Every time I see you guys on my timeline now, it’s because you’re making a mess of your tours. https://t.co/Vdd37Ckrur

I understand that running a company takes time, but why did you wait four full days to even post the apology / announcement. Jay B works extremely hard and deserved much better than what you provided. https://t.co/bhVrbuBqXB

KONNECT’D’s previous tour, one scheduled to take place with KARD in early 2025, was cancelled just before due to visa issues and fans have reported that they are waiting for refunds still, several months later.
This has also increased skepticism that refunds will be given in a timely manner for Jay B’s cancelled date, and frustrated fans.
BTW @KonnectdEnt deleted the threads asking about refunds from the KARD tour in the discord & the admins/co-founders themselves (Marie, Thandi, Chelcy) haven’t posted anything since April
But here they are, as if their tour for Jay B hasn’t been a disaster at every stop 😀 https://t.co/oEKCODOhy7

At this point, I high key consider them as scammers because I’ve heard folks didn’t get their refund yet for Kard’s concert https://t.co/G5rJIRZ4q8

Bets on @KonnectdEnt going bankrupt and out of business before they refund us the $ they owe for the cancelled #KARD concert.
This isn’t any reflection on Jay B we love you. Get some rest. https://t.co/ArEc08Irz5— Mama K (@KatInouye) June 15, 2025
It seems that while fans understand that accidents can happen, the issues from this event and more were too much to take.
