In preparation for this performance, we thoroughly completed all necessary steps to secure visa approvals, including submitting the required documents and attending interviews. However, despite our best efforts, there was an unexpected delay in the approval process, and the visas were ultimately not issued in time.
At present, the exact reason for the delay remains unclear. We made every possible effort to resolve the matter, but unfortunately, it was not enough to ensure NCT WISH’s appearance on stage.
We fully understand and deeply regret the disappointment this may cause to fans who were eagerly anticipating NCT WISH’s performance. We share in your disappointment and sincerely apologize for not being able to fulfill this commitment.
To all the fans who set aside time to attend the show and support NCT WISH, we offer our heartfelt apologies. Your unwavering support means everything to us, and we will strive to repay your love and anticipation with even greater dedication and performances in the future.
Thank you for your understanding."

1. Huh?.....
2. Why are people blaming SM here? So ignorantㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. There are so many talks about American visas nowadays...
4. Hul it's so difficult to get a visa lately
5. Yeah, the US has been weird with visas lately. For artists at their level, it shouldn't be an issue if it's through their company, other artists all made it out just fine
6. Ah... I guess that's it's just a natural disaster...
7. The US visa has been no joke lately... A co-worker got their visa approved but just a few days ago their visa was denied, so they couldn't go;;
8. A violinist I know had a gig suddenly canceled due to visa issues
9. To be honest, you can't blame SM for visa issues. The US needs to approve them so they can go
10. Seems like a lot of people are having issues with their visas lately
