K-Pop group E’LAST, consisting of Choi In, Seungyeop, Rano, Baekgyeul, Romin, Won Hyuk, Wonjun, and Yejun, are currently on their 2023 Thrill North America tour. They performed on Sunday, May 7, 2023, at AVALON Hollywood in Los Angeles, California.
While fans were excited to see E’LAST, it turned into a horrible night. Some of the members’ posts even allude to it too.

According to fans, the entire thing was chaotic from the start. One was even mistaken for a staff member because, allegedly, the workers were not doing their jobs.
staff were giving me their instagram to hire me but they couldn’t tell line what to do? they had to have me give the announcements it’s ridiculous, then @MCEKpop staff LIED about being staff when trying to ask questions, they responded “ you don’t know me “ pic.twitter.com/pdUvilVDvV

So, the concert started three hours late. Yet, fans were kicked out at 9 PM.

This would be by no means the E’LAST members’ fault. But according to fans in attendance, event organizer MC Entertainment staff blamed E’LAST and even yelled at them. ELRINGs also reported that E’LAST left crying.

ELRINGs attempted to confront MC Entertainment staff regarding this issue at the time. Yet, according to the fans, the MC Entertainment staff “lied,” “laughed” at them, and ran off.
Here is a little bit!! I was not having it when the staff venue raised his voice in front of E’last, Especially when Romin asked a simple question of what was happening!! I will always defend E’last idc who it is #Elast_La #Elast pic.twitter.com/9Y1DUPkz4u

K-Pop fans are pointing out that MC Entertainment has a problematic past. This isn’t the first time concert-goers have not received what they paid for.
we as a kpop community have gotta shut down @MCEKpop they’ve ruined too many tours and scammed people out of their money too many times
