The 4 member Korean boy group F.CUZ's release event for their Japanese debut single "Never Let You Go" (on sale on the 17th) at Tokyo, Aomi's Odaiba Venus Fort got cancelled.
The event was scheduled to start at 2PM but 15 minutes after said time staff said "Right now, the members are currently stopped at Haneda airport due to immigration procedures..." and so announced the start of the event would be postponed.
According to officials the members arrived at Haneda airport at about 11AM to attend the event. The members were supposed to be at the site at 12.30AM but due to trouble with immigration procedures they were stopped. The reason as to why they were stopped has not been announced but officials have been quoted saying that "It's not due to any lack of paperwork, this is the first time we've ever encountered this problem".
The about 170 fans that had gathered for the event waited for roughly 4 hours for the members to arrive. At 6PM the organizers announced that there was no knowing when the members would be allowed to enter the country and that the event was cancelled. The fans at the site shouted "why?" and there were even fans who cried.
The members were stuck at immigration's for about 7 hours and at about quarter to 7PM they were let through. The event has been rescheduled to 11.30AM on the 17th.

I feel so bad for the fans who were there because they lined up to get tickets for the event from like 8AM that morning. Also the fans at the airport weren't given any information at all and didn't know until last minute if they'd be let in or not.
