Big Bang, Super Junior, & KARA will not perform in MBC’s ‘50th Anniversary Korean Music Wave Concert’

It was just announced that Super Junior, KARA, and Big Bang will not perform at MBC’s “50th Anniversary Korean Music Wave Concert in Bangkok“.

MBC will be sending their ‘Show! Music Core‘ staff to Thailand on March 10th to prepare for the epic event. The music program’s PD has already flown to Thailand to manage the production.

The concert will feature 15 popular artists, who have reorganized their schedules in order to participate in this overseas concert.

KARA considered performing, but ultimately made the decision not to perform. Reportedly, the girls felt uncomfortable about appearing on TV during the middle of their contract dispute.

Big Bang will not be participating, since MBC’s list of performing artists was already finalized before they released their album. As for Super Junior, the boys are currently busy with their unit activities and overseas promotions.

It has not yet been announced when the concert will air in Korea. Though the event takes place on March 12th, viewers will see only a regular episode of ‘Show! Music Core’. Since most of the staff will be in Thailand on that day, MBC will air the pre-recorded show that was filmed on the 5th.
