The tour was to include more stops in South America, however, on October 27th, TS Entertainment announced shortly before the event that the South American leg of the tour had been cancelled. The company cited the deteriorating health of members due to their packed schedule as the cause of cancellation.
While on tour, the group also released their fourth single, B.A.P. Unplugged, in June and a fourth Japanese Single, “Excuse Me,” on August 11th, as well as a DVD set for their first Japanese tour that took place in late 2013 after their first domestic tour earlier last year. Although their South America concerts were cancelled, B.A.P attended Music Bank in Mexico on October 31st where their performance was halted due to a fan who threw undergarments onto the stage during their set.
