The safety reason cited for the tour’s cancellation relates to ongoing issues Indonesians have raised with their current government. Most recently, many in the country have criticized the government’s response to natural disasters.

Untuk semua kpopers yg masih nutup mata, beranggapan politik ga ngaruh di hobi kelen. Liat bjir situasi batal konser gara2 pemerintah plenger. Another day another mempertanyakan, YA TUHAN KENAPA GUA WNI??? 💔💔

To all K-popers who are still turning a blind eye, thinking politics doesn’t touch our hobbies. Look at the flood of cancellations—concerts scrapped because the government’s clamping down. Another day, another round of questioning: OH GOD, WHY AM I AN INDONESIAN CITIZEN???

— OP, via Google machine translation

There has been no word on if the shows will be rescheduled in the future. The group’s other tour date in Surabaya, Indonesia was cancelled around two weeks before.
