“Corbyn Besson, a member of the group Why Don’t We, underwent emergency surgery 4 weeks ago due to an infection in his throat.  His recovery has been 100%, however, his attending surgeon does not want him to leave the country until August 15, which has caused the rescheduling of the Bangkok, Thailand, and Seoul, Korea shows and, unfortunately, cancellation of the Hong Kong show. Corbyn and his group are looking forward to perform for their fans throughout Asia.”

Refunds available from the organiser.

No explanation as to why Hong Kong was cancelled and the other dates rescheduled.
