He thanked the fans for their calm response and understanding of the gravity of the situation. He continued the post, writing he was upset to see everyone leave especially because they had traveled so far to see him perform. 

“We had no choice," the K-pop star wrote, explaining the bad weather conditions.

Why PSY had to cancel the Summer Swag 2024 concert?

For the unversed, on July 20, PSY was scheduled to hold a Summer Swag concert at the Parking Square of Seoul Grand Park in Gwacheon. Despite a massive crowd and stars like Cha Eun Woo’s presence, the K-pop veteran had to conclude his yearly summer concert mid-way.

As the weather conditions worsened in that region, strong winds and gusts event caused some lights to fall and break on the stage. On top of that, heavy rainfall with thunderstorms made the situation too difficult to continue with the show. All the people who were present at the scene were safely evacuated.

Although PSY’s agency P Nation shortly suspended the concert, the singer looks forward to holding another one at the same venue on some other day.
