A three-member SECHSKIES event with a reported 890,000-won ticket price is cancelled, and fans who paid are being told to get their own money back. On the 10th, the official fan cafe POLICE, run for Jang Su-won and Kim Jae-duk's unit J-Walk, posted a notice that the Inspire two-day event with Lee Jae-jin, Ko Ji-yong and Jang Su-won "has been cancelled."

The notice was blunt about who handles what. Fans who booked through the organizer, or who sent participation fees by private cash transfer, should contact the organizer individually to request refunds and confirm the procedure. POLICE said it neither hosts nor runs the event, so refund questions go to the organizer. It also urged fans to confirm whether a refund will be issued and when, so they don't take a financial hit in the process.

How a reunion event came apart

Ko Ji-yong's agency, Mountain Movement, which also acts as organizer, had announced THE TREE in INSPIRE - SECHSKIES' Untold Story for December 15–16 at Inspire Arena on Incheon's Yeongjongdo. Noise started almost immediately. The 890,000-won ticket price drew backlash, and the organizer responded that hotel room fees and concert ticket prices need to be treated separately.

Ko had been promoting the show actively, including sharing his thoughts on it in a recent press interview. Then Lee Jae-jin posted on social media that during talks about appearing, he found problems with the booking and payment method. He said he repeatedly conveyed that he would not take part, yet the event was promoted as if his appearance were settled.

Lee also claimed the organizer's CEO, identified only as A, had been contacting fans individually and taking deposits into a personal account. He said fans who asked for refunds were not getting them.

The organizer pushes back

A disputed that account. According to the CEO, Lee had told them once that he wouldn't participate, then reversed course, and preparations went ahead on that basis. Lee's side again conveyed that he was out on the 7th. A said it is untrue that interviews were conducted as if all three would appear while the organizer knew of his withdrawal. The CEO also called the claims about problems in booking and payment inaccurate.

Jang Su-won's exit followed Lee's, which left Ko alone and the three-member billing gone. The competing accounts about who knew what, and when, remain unresolved. What is settled is the practical part: the event is off, and the refund burden has landed on the fans.
