On March 28, 2025, KOZ Entertainment, the agency behind BOYNEXTDOOR, officially announced the unfortunate cancellation of the group’s concert scheduled for March 29 at Thunder Dome in Bangkok, Thailand. This decision comes in light of a devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar with a magnitude of 7.7, exerting significant impact on the surrounding regions, including Thailand.
Impact of the Earthquake and Concert Cancellation
The earthquake prompted BOYNEXTDOOR to prioritize the safety of their fans, team members, and staff, leading to the cancellation of their performance amidst concerns over safety conditions in the country. The group, which is currently undertaking their inaugural world tour, KNOCK ON Vol. 1, had intended to deliver an electrifying show in Bangkok as the next stop on their tour, following a series of successful performances.
In their official statement, BOYNEXTDOOR expressed their deepest sympathies for those affected by this natural disaster, stating,
“First, we extend our deepest condolences to everyone affected by the earthquake that occurred on March 28. We sincerely pray for the safety and well-being of everyone during this sudden disaster. Due to the current situation, the BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR “KNOCK ON Vol.1″ IN BANGKOK, scheduled for March 29 (Saturday), has been canceled, as we are taking the safety of the audience, artists, and staff as our top priority.”
Furthermore, KOZ Entertainment reiterated their commitment to the fans, noting:
“We sincerely apologize to the many fans who were looking forward to the Bangkok show, and we ask for your generous understanding. We will provide information about the cancellation process in a separate announcement. Once again, we express our deepest condolences to everyone affected by this earthquake, and we sincerely hope for your safety and recovery. The artists and staff are currently safe and are taking steps to return home safely.”
