E Entertainment announced on May 20 local time that E'LAST's New York concert, which was scheduled for the following day, had been unexpectedly cancelled. According to the agency, MC Entertainment informed them of the cancellation unilaterally, and despite their best efforts to find a way to continue with the show, their hands were "tied" by the promotion company.

E Entertainment also stated that they would sue MC Entertainment for allegedly failing to book plane tickets, hotel rooms, proper concert venues, and other necessities for E'LAST's tour.

The full announcement from the agency is as follows:

Hello, this is E Entertainment.

We are announcing that [E’LAST’s] concert in New York, which was the final stop of the “THRILL” North America tour, has been cancelled.

During the past month or so that we have been on tour, MC Entertainment has not fulfilled various parts of their contract, such as not having booked airplane tickets or hotel rooms, not having made proper preparations in advance at concert venues, pressuring [E’LAST] to hold concerts at venues where it would be impossible to hold a concert, and more. However, out of consideration for the local fans who had been waiting for this tour, both our agency and the artist tried as much as we could to proceed with the concerts whenever possible.

In the case of New York, just one day before the concert, MC Entertainment unilaterally informed us of the cancellation. Because both our agency and the artist felt strongly about wanting to proceed with the concert, we tried to find whatever method we could [to hold the show], but MC Entertainment has already made it so that our hands are tied, and we ultimately determined that it will be difficult to move forward [with the concert].

We will take all legal action that we can against this breach of contract, and we decided to take legal action against MC Entertainment in order to prevent these kinds of incidents from occurring in the future.

To the fans who had been waiting [to see E’LAST], we thank you and ask for your understanding.

Thank you.
