ATEEZ’s next concert is on July 17 in Oakland. Seonghwa will not join Soundcheck on that day as he will take time to mourn with his family. However, he will resume the tour and still participate in the concert.
After careful discussions with the company, SEONGHWA has made the decision return to his schedules in the U.S. after taking time for him to be with his family and friends for the mourning process and funeral. As such, he will not be participating in the ‘[TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER] IN OAKLAND’ SOUND CHECK taking place on July 17, but will partake in the concert performance on that day as scheduled.
