It is no secret that the staff at K-Soul are all huge fans of Eric Nam. Just like it is no secret that he has an incredible set of fans, and wide support across the Kpop community, as events like KCON and his fan engagements have shown. So when we were able to announce his first U.S. Tour back at the beginning of this year, we were really excited for the fans and for Eric. However, the tour was postponed due to a bad snowstorm that shook the east coast, and fans were assured it would be rescheduled.

That was six months ago.

Since then, fans have been waiting for word on when the tour would happen again, and many are reaching the point of needing refunds because the tour is becoming seemingly hopeless.

On June 9th, WME Radio made the following statement:

Dear All,

We would like to apologize for the lack of updates regarding the Eric Nam US Tour 2015. As of now, the tour still remains postponed and not canceled.

We hope to have another update by the end of this week.

At the time of publishing, this was the last update, despite a promise of updating at the end of the week. Since then, fans have been reaching out to WME with no responses from the company, and so have taken to discussing the situation in the comments.

However, it might not be WME that people need to reach out to for their refunds. TGM Events, the company running the BTS Highlight tour that involves purchasing tee-shirts to get tickets, are in charge of payments, as receipts have shown.





TGM Events are the company behind the infamous B1A4 in Kuala Lumpur show, and also ran an Indigogo campaign to attempt to raise money to help “bring more KPOP to the USA”. A quick look at the gallery will show that the Eric Nam concert was always a part of their fundraising plan.



However, despite being the group that had collected all of the money for the Eric Nam concert, TGM Events’ main focus is their current BTS tour, effectively leaving the Eric Nam concert in the dust.

Since tickets were bought through Paypal, there would have been a chance of refunds. However, 180 days has past, so many fans are under the impression that refunds are not possible, and many are feeling scammed. We have seen that there are fans who have been able to get in contact with Paypal, and get their money refunded. If you are a fan who is looking to get their money back, we recommend reaching out to Paypal (perhaps by calling or email) and asking for a refund.

Fan response has been across the board, from people having the patience of a saint, to those out for blood. The longer that TGM Events and WME Radio take to officially deal with this, the more people will buy viagra safely begin to demand those refunds. Already, fans have taken to WME Radio’s Facebook page to voice their complaints, only to be met with silence from those in charge. We are also hearing about comments being deleted from the TGM Events page so that the fans are being silenced.

We know that this is not Eric Nam’s fault, and we’re really upset that he was not able to go on his tour back in his home country. TGM Events and WME Radio have a lot of questions that need answering. At the time of publishing, the following comments have been released:



We are under the impression this is both for the Eric Nam concert, and for the upcoming BTS concert (since many fans are also concerned over the lack of venues for the concert with it only being a few weeks away, but that is a completely different problem that TGM Events needs to address.) We also reached out to WME Radio, and are waiting for response.



Are you a fan affected by these delays for the Eric Nam concert? Let us know in the comments! Especially if you have been successful in getting a refund!



Update – August 23rd: Word about this seems to be catching on, and we’ve been hearing from fans all over telling us about their own horror stories with getting refunds from TGM Events. We’ve heard about the cancelled Kim Tae Woo concert, and how many people never received refunds. Fans have come forward with examples of their receipts, showing the money from the Eric Nam concert going into the personal account of Nadia Leong from TGM Events.





While we won’t ask the question of what happened to the money, or why it didn’t go into a Paypal Business account, many fans have been asking these questions. Especially when the private instagram of Nadia shows she is on a (poorly timed) vacation. Of course, everyone is entitled to a vacation, but with concerns cropping up over the BTS show, and a lot of money being held due to an overdue tour, many people are stating that it is poorly timed, at the very least.



Luckily for fans, those in New York still have the opportunity to go see Eric Nam in a few weeks.



Eric Nam and B2M have been busy scheduling events, including promoting at KCON LA, and now is scheduled to be at the MOI’M Inception college welcoming party. We’re really pleased to see that Eric Nam is still scheduling events in North America, but this once again leads to more questions – clearly, Eric Nam is ready and willing to come perform in the US. So who is it that’s not coming to the table to talk?



Update – August 24th: A petition has been made to try and get full refunds for all the events that fell through with TGM Events.
