E’LAST’s agency E Entertainment has announced plans to take legal action against tour organizer MC Entertainment after the group’s New York concert was cancelled at the last minute.
The announcement comes in the wake of two weeks of horror stories about MC Entertainment, the local promotion company based in Puerto Rico that was responsible for organizing E’LAST’s North American tour.
Earlier this month, E’LAST kicked off their “THRILL” tour of North America with a concert in Los Angeles. However, despite fans’ excitement at getting to see E’LAST, many concertgoers complained afterwards about MC Entertainment’s handling of the event, with some reporting that they had been scammed.
According to fan accounts, the concert started over three hours late, and when it ended less than two hours later, fans were reportedly kicked out without receiving merchandise that they had already paid for. Additionally, the meet-and-greet and hi-touch events that were scheduled to take place after the concert never took place.
Some fans also reported that the E’LAST members left the venue crying, and Wonhyuk even alluded to the fact that the night had not gone as planned in a tweet he posted after the concert.
Then, earlier this week, E’LAST was forced to cancel their Atlanta concert at the very last minute due to safety concerns. At a time when the concert was already supposed to have begun, it was announced that the makeshift stage that had been set up at the venue was not safe for the idols to use during their performance.
Despite the situation not being their fault, the E’LAST members apologized profusely to fans during the fan signing event and hi-touch event that followed. In a statement released later in the night, E’LAST’s agency E Entertainment added, “For fans who would like refunds, we ask that you make refund requests through MC Entertainment.”
On May 20 local time, E Entertainment announced that E’LAST’s New York concert, which was scheduled to take place the following day, had been unexpectedly cancelled. According to the agency, they were unilaterally informed of the cancellation by MC Entertainment, and despite their best efforts to figure out a way to move forward with the show, their hands were “tied” by the promotion company.
E Entertainment also stated that they would be taking legal action against MC Entertainment, who allegedly failed to book airplane tickets, hotel rooms, proper concert venues, and more during E’LAST’s tour.
