A Vietnam fan concert by actor and singer Park Ji-hoon has been engulfed in controversy over disorganized operations.

Park Ji-hoon held the Asia fan concert tour '2026 Park Ji-hoon Fan Concert 'RE:FLECT'' in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam, from the 19th to the 20th.

This fan concert, the second large-scale fan meeting event held in Vietnam, drew significant attention. The event featured various fan participation activities, including a talk corner, Hi-bye sessions, group photo shoots, and autograph signings.

However, problems arose during the fan concert held on the 19th at Cuu Quang 7 Gymnasium in Ho Chi Minh City. The organizer's inadequate on-site operations came under scrutiny. Complaints followed regarding rude behavior by on-site staff, such as pushing fans, and claims that fans were not properly given the opportunity to greet Park Ji-hoon. As guidance confusion persisted, fans were unable to greet Park Ji-hoon because they did not know his location. Videos showing Park Ji-hoon expressing regret spread, intensifying the controversy.

Furthermore, some fans claimed that, in addition to sound system issues, the organizers engaged in verbal exchanges with fans and subsequently stopped updating news related to the fan concert.

In response, the organizer, Fanstar, issued an official statement: "We have received feedback regarding some audience handling related to on-site operations. We sincerely apologize to everyone who had a negative experience on-site. We humbly acknowledge our shortcomings in the deployment of personnel and handling of tasks for this event, and deeply reflect on having caused unpleasant experiences for our precious fans."

According to the organizer, the employee in question was suspended from all ongoing projects for three months, and internal disciplinary procedures were carried out. The organizer also stated that all staff would undergo retraining and the team would be reorganized to prevent similar incidents from occurring.

The organizer added, "We will carefully consider the feedback and promise to make improvements. We once again offer our apologies to all fans who felt disappointed due to this incident."
