Singer BoA cancels her solo concert due to knee surgery.

On the 15th, her agency SM Entertainment announced, “BoA’s fifth solo concert has become difficult to proceed with due to the artist’s health reasons.”

SM Entertainment explained BoA’s condition, saying, “BoA recently visited a hospital due to worsening knee pain and was diagnosed with acute osteonecrosis requiring surgical treatment.The decision to have the surgery was made based on the medical team’s opinion that she should refrain from strenuous physical activity and performances such as dancing to prevent the disease from progressing and that she should undergo the surgery as soon as possible.”

Due to this, BoA’s fifth concert scheduled for August 30th and 31st was inevitably canceled.

They also added, “This year is a meaningful year for BoA as it is the 25th anniversary of her debut, so we plan to release the album as scheduled without any changes to the schedule, as production has been completed, for the fans who have been waiting with anticipation.”

Whether or not future concerts can be held will be re-announced depending on the artist’s recovery after surgery.
