Members of Thai boy band BUS (Because of You I Shine) have issued apologies to fans following the cancellation of their scheduled fan concerts in Manila and Singapore.
The group’s “BUS The 1st Asia Fancon Tour: The First Light” was originally set to take place in Manila on May 24 and in Singapore on June 5.
In a statement, the group announced: “We regret to inform you that BUS The 1st Asia Fancon Tour: The First Light in Singapore and Manila will no longer proceed as scheduled due to unforeseen circumstances affecting these stops. We sincerely apologize to fans in both cities for the disappointment and inconvenience caused.”
They added: “The tour will continue as planned in other cities, and fans who still wish to be part of this experience may explore tickets that remain available. Refund details will be provided by the respective ticketing platforms. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
The cancellations prompted calls from fans for further explanation.
BUS is composed of 12 members: Khunpol, Alan, Marckris, Phutatchai, Copper, Heart, Jinwook, Thai, Nex, AA, Jungt, and Peemwasu.
Several members also took to X (formerly Twitter) to express personal apologies and messages to fans in Manila and Singapore.
