Jang Keun Suk's management stated that his delay is due to his ill-preparedness and has nothing to do with the anti-Hallyu crisis that is going on due to the Dokdo crisis.

His agency also commented that he wanted to be more prepared and show his fans and the public a more presentable image.

Another official commented, "Jang Keun Suk postponing or canceling his events has been a common thing with him. It is nothing to take seriously."

With the recent appearance of Korean president Lee Myung Bak visiting Dokdo, the tension between Korea and Japan has risen.
