The company explained that negotiations to screen the live event in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, either on a live or delayed basis, has been unsuccessful because licensing of the event has been “complicated and difficult”.
But despite the difficulty, the licensor promises to “continue to work and find a way”.
The statement also mentioned that the licensor are planning to hold activities related to the highly-popular idol franchise, particularly to the territories they handle.
They are asking fans for patience and for their continued support, because the activities “will take time to prepare”.
Understandably, the fans of the popular franchise showed disappointment on the announcement, but almost all comments on the Facebook post has expressed their thanks to the licensor for the effort in negotiating the event.
