***

I've posted the Notice released by his Management CNR regarding this postponement. You may check HERE if you missed it.

Due to the tension between South Korea and North Korea yesterday (23rd Nov), SS501 Park Jung Min’s solo album release and activities were postponed.

Jung Min’s album was originally planned to be release on the 25th and hold his album showcase & fanmeeting on the 27th, but on the 23rd, due to the Yeonpyeong Island skirmish causing the state in a depress mood, thus decided to postpone.

On the 24th CNR Media staff expressed that ‘Jung Min was shocked after he heard the news in Japan, and taking into account of the national mood, thus in deciding to postpone all of his activities.’

-Omitted-

On the other hand, apart from Brown Eyed Soul and Park Jung Min, all the music related programme and activities will be postponed, cancellation is also in discussion. The 3 television stations has officially stop broadcasting (music programmes i suppose) , and changed to special coverage on the tension between North Korea and South Korea.

There was an unprovoked North Korean artillery attack yesterday afternoon in South Korea. With two marine soldiers dead and 18 injured, idols and netizens have been publicly praying for peace through Twitter. SS501‘s Park JungMin has decided to postpone his album’s release, as he feels it would be inappropriate to celebrate during this time.

Park JungMin’s solo album Not Alone has recently been getting a lot of buzz after a music video teaser was released. Because it was his first solo album, the singer had been working diligently for many months.

The idol has gone through a serious meeting with his management after yesterday’s events. While he has been working these past months to celebrate his album’s release with fans, he feels postponing events would be for the best. “Concerning present political tension between the 2 Koreas, it is definitely not a good timing to celebrate an album release,” his management stated.

Meanwhile, JungMin’s management have began to give refunds for fanmeeting tickets and have announced they will keep fans posted on JungMin’s comeback date. CNR Media has asked for fans to be patient and pray for regional peace and stability.
