Xiumin To No Longer Perform At Asia Culture Festival 2026; THE BOYZ’s New To Take His Place

Xiumin will no longer be performing at the Asia Culture Festival 2026 next week.

On May 3, Korean news outlet MyDaily reported that Xiumin’s performance at the upcoming Asia Culture Festival 2026 in Japan had been unexpectedly canceled at the last minute. The two-day event is scheduled to be held on June 9 and 10 at Japan’s Tokyo Garden Theater.

The Asia Culture Festival’s organizing committee commented, “Due to various circumstances, Xiumin’s appearance [at the festival] has been canceled. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to his performance for making this announcement on such short notice.”

The committee added, “There will be no ticket refunds based on this matter.”

THE BOYZ’s New will be replacing Xiumin in the festival’s lineup, which also includes Apink and Kep1er.

Back in April, Xiumin, Chen, and Baekhyun were reported to have sent a formal notice to their agency INB100 announcing their intent to terminate their exclusive contracts due to a lack of clarification regarding unpaid earnings and other alleged contract violations.

Earlier in the year, when nine members of THE BOYZ sent their agency—INB100’s parent company ONE HUNDRED—a similar notice regarding termination of their exclusive contracts, New was the only member of the group who chose to stay with the company. On April 23, the court granted an injunction suspending the contracts of the other nine members.

THE BOYZ’s Eric Suffers Knee Injury During Concert + Shares Update Ahead Of Tonight’s Show

THE BOYZ’s Eric sustained a knee injury during the first night of the group’s “INTER-ZECTION” concert in Seoul.

On April 25, production company The Bright World released a statement that Eric reposted on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account.

The company explained that Eric had suffered a knee injury during THE BOYZ’s concert the previous night, and after undergoing an MRI scan, he had been diagnosed with knee cartilage damage and a partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

As a result, Eric will be performing seated for select songs during tonight’s show.

The company’s full statement is as follows:

Hello. This is The Bright World, the production company for “THE BOYZ CONCERT .”

During the concert that was held yesterday, a situation arose in which Eric sustained a knee injury. Immediately after the end of concert, he underwent an MRI scan and received emergency treatment. Today, he returned to the hospital for a detailed interpretation of his MRI results, and he was diagnosed with knee cartilage damage and a partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
The doctor advised him to refrain from excessive movement or dancing for the time being, as he needs plenty of rest and recovery.

Although the artist himself expressed strong determination to perform on stage for his fans, we considered the artist’s safety and long-term health our top priority, so we have decided that during today’s concert, he will perform seated for select songs.
We deeply empathize with the disappointment that may be felt by the fans who have been waiting [for this concert], and we ask for your generous understanding.

We will do our utmost to support the artist throughout his entire treatment and recovery process so that he can make a speedy recovery and safely carry out his activities.
Once again, we would like to express our gratitude to the fans who are warmly rooting for Eric’s recovery.
Thank you.

Get well soon, Eric!
