This is an apology to ATEEZ and all ATINY affected. I am sorry for what's going on with the Immortal Songs right now and I am sorry that I am about to go off for good reason. Everyone literally just got f-cked over by StudioPav. It's actually ridiculous that people basically lost about $85-$1400 (approximately 114,518.80-1,886,213.00 South Korean won) on those tickets and have to rely on a company that is notorious for issues with refunds ie. Ticketmaster with getting their money back, but most of the people that I have talked to across the NYC and NJ area say it's going to take 30+ days and they can't go. (ATINYs are blowing up my phone right now lol.)
Words cannot describe how frustrated I am for everyone that was affected, but I am actually very sad for you guys because your name is attached to this foolishness and that is not what you guys represent.
#KQ I know I say a lot, and even though I mean everything with every fiber of my being, I really need you guys to look into these companies before booking our boys for this stuff. StudioPav is notorious for doing smaller, scale, tours, and even with those tours, which I have been on, it is still discombobulated, and could be organized better. A lot of their marketing strategy is extremely flawed and if I submitted this to my marketing 101 class that I took back in university, I would be probably get failed by my professor. Do not book things just because it seems like a good opportunity to make money if you didn't look into the company. That's why the other large group that is being marketed at this event is not promoting it.
I also want to apologize because this event was marketed as 120 Years of Koreans immigrating to the United States of America and that agenda was completely erased from any marketing. It overall seems performative and again I feel really frustrated for you guys because this is not a reflection on what your culture should be represented as. I don't want to speak too much on this, because I am a black American, and not Korean, but I just find it to be very sad that this is a reflection on that, and in no way, would I want my own culture to be represented in this way purely for financial gain.
All to say, I am definitely not behind any of this, but God knows I would've done so much better by you guys if I had any influence or say.
Love you always. ♡
