KARA's Macau Concert Abruptly Canceled, Fans Left With Travel Expenses

K-POP girl group KARA's concert in Macau has been canceled less than three weeks before the scheduled performance.

The group's concert, "2026 KARA Once Again·GlowStage in Macau," was scheduled for Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. at Broadway Macau.

Broadway Macau announced the cancellation on Nov. 9 through its official Weibo account. "We were notified by the organizer that KARA's concert, originally scheduled for Nov. 28 at 7 p.m., has been canceled," the venue said.

"All concert tickets and add-on fan packages will be automatically refunded in full to the original payment method, with no application or additional fees required," it said.

However, the refunds will not cover travel expenses. "We cannot compensate for personal travel expenses, such as flights and hotels booked by audience members," the venue said. It added that fan package benefits will become invalid once the refunds are processed.

Tickets went on sale on Oct. 28, just 12 days before the cancellation was announced.

KARA had planned to perform for about 100 minutes. The organizer also sold additional fan packages offering benefits such as one-on-one photos with members and autographs.

While ticket buyers will receive full refunds, fans who had already arranged trips to Macau may face cancellation fees for flights and hotel reservations.

This is not the first time KARA's overseas performance schedule has been disrupted this year. On May 31, the organizer of a Japan event announced the postponement of the group's fan meeting, originally scheduled for July 4 and 5 at Toyota Arena Tokyo.

With the Macau concert now canceled, KARA has faced changes to two overseas performance schedules this year.
