18-4-2024 (KUALA LUMPUR) The euphoria surrounding the successful conclusion of popular Hong Kong group MIRROR’s world tour in Toronto has been dampened by reports of the cancellation of their highly anticipated concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The event, originally scheduled for April 28th at the Putra Stadium’s Asia Indoor Arena, has fallen victim to the allegedly financial troubles plaguing the organizer, Unusual Entertainment.
Fans in Malaysia had been eagerly awaiting the chance to witness MIRROR’s electrifying performance, with pre-sale tickets going on sale as early as March 26th, priced at a staggering HK$1,950 per ticket. However, in a disappointing turn of events, Unusual Entertainment made the abrupt decision to cancel the concert just 10 days before the scheduled date, citing financial difficulties within the company.
The cancellation comes as a bitter blow to MIRROR’s Malaysian fanbase, who had been counting down the days until the group’s arrival in Kuala Lumpur. The news has undoubtedly left many disappointed, particularly after the successful conclusion of the group’s North American leg, which saw them captivate audiences with their high-energy performances and impressive stage presence.
MIRROR’s rising global popularity has been fueled by their recent forays into the English-language market. Last week, ahead of their concert in New York, the group sat down for an interview with CNN’s Julia Chatterley, showcasing their fluency in English and their ability to connect with a broader international audience.
During the interview, the members of MIRROR broke new ground by candidly addressing potential conflicts within the group and offering a glimpse into their daily lives offstage. They also shared their ambitious future plans and a tantalizing list of collaborators they hope to work with, further fueling excitement among their dedicated fanbase.
The highlight of the program came when MIRROR treated viewers to an impromptu performance of their latest English single, “Day 0,” released earlier this month. The group’s foray into English-language music, which began with the release of their first English single, “Rumours,” last year, has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in their growing international appeal.
