Worried fans are demanding SM Entertainment to cancel or postpone the tours in Japan until the virus outbreak is over. Hashtag #스엠_아레나투어_취소해 (#sm_cancel_arenatour) has been trending on Twitter and fans are hoping the agency will take action in response.

Other fandoms are also joining forces as BTS is scheduled for Fukuoka Dome concert on February 16 and iKON Yokohama Arena concert is scheduled on February 11.

Fans over different fandoms are requesting everyone to change the trending hashtag to “#모든소속사_일본스케줄_취소해” (#Everyagency_cancel_Japanschedule) so all K-pop artists can be protected. Fans are pleading, no fans would want the idol groups to risk their health for concerts and the agencies must understand the severity of the situation to protect the artist.

The influenza scare is growing as patients’ abnormal behaviors are being reported throughout the country.
