Singer and musical actress Ok Joo-hyun's solo concert, her first in seven years, has been canceled.
On the 22nd, Ok Joo-hyun posted a lengthy message along with a notice on her personal account announcing the cancellation of the 2025 Ok Joo-hyun concert "OK-RIGINAL."
According to the notice released by Ok Joo-hyun, the production company said, "The solo concert returning after seven years, so-called 'Ok-con,' was a stage the artist had always dreamed of and wanted to realize someday. In particular, this performance was prepared to show a more complete performance, filled with scenes in which the physical elements and the difficulty of realization that the artist had long imagined were quite high," it said.
The production company said, "However, during various preparation processes, unexpected internal factors among the production staff overlapped, and we judged that in the current state it would be difficult to reach the level of stage we had aimed for. As producers, we should have presented the most perfect stage to the artist but failed to do so, and after consultation and discussion with the artist, we decided to reprepare the performance," it said.
In this regard, Ok Joo-hyun also expressed regret, saying, "The concert scheduled for December has been unavoidably postponed for a while. This concert meant as much to me as it did to the fans, and I prepared with a really excited heart looking forward to the time we would spend together after a long time," she explained.
Ok Joo-hyun said, "Meeting you in many places this year and talking about 'Ok-con,' the moments we excitedly anticipated together, and my memories of saying, "I'll meet you in the air," and "Let's sing this song together," still remain warmly in my heart," she said.
She continued, "While continuing preparations.. although the scale of Ok-con that we usually do expanded, what I felt lacking in myself was a point where I could not make directorial compromises," saying, "My 'ambition and satisfaction' in the directorial aspects must ultimately be an unforgettable fantasy and promise·memory to present to everyone who came.. I was also very regretful and heavy-hearted, but thinking of the stage I promised you, after long consultations with the production company we reached the conclusion that it was necessary to adjust the schedule and theater selection," she said.
She added, "To the fans who waited a long time, and everyone who looked forward to this performance, I am truly sorry to bring this news," and promised, "Thinking of that feeling makes it even heavier, but my desire to show you the stage I promised in the best possible form remains unchanged. I will prepare the dream we've shared for a long time greedily and present a stage like a gift," she promised.

Everyone, I have to share some upsetting news.
The concert scheduled for December has been unavoidably postponed for a while.
This concert meant as much to me as it did to the fans, and I prepared with a really excited heart looking forward to the time we would spend together after a long time.
Meeting you in many places this year and talking about 'Ok-con,' the moments we excitedly anticipated together, and my memories of saying, "I'll meet you in the air," and "Let's sing this song together," still remain warmly in my heart.
While continuing preparations,, although the scale of Ok-con that we usually do expanded
What I felt lacking in myself was a point where I could not make directorial compromises.
My 'ambition and satisfaction' in the directorial aspects must ultimately be an unforgettable fantasy and a promise·memory to present to everyone who came, , I was also very regretful and heavy-hearted, but thinking of the stage I promised you, after long consultations with the production company we reached the conclusion that it was necessary to adjust the schedule and theater selection..
Because I had long prepared in harmony with the cast and staff who would join me, my regret was even greater. Nevertheless, my sincerity and will toward the stage of singing and sharing my heart in front of you remain unchanged.
To the fans who waited a long time, and everyone who looked forward to this performance, I am truly sorry to bring this news.
Thinking of that feeling makes it even heavier, but my desire to show you the stage I promised in the best possible form remains unchanged..
I will prepare the dream we've shared for a long time greedily and present a stage like a gift.
The memories of 'Ok-con,' the stage I promised, I will definitely show you.
Thank you.
