“Worst company ever.”
C9 Entertainment is taking heat for his recent announcement 19.
After Bae Jinyoung’s departure, CIX fans were waiting for new announcements about the group’s activities. On September 26, the group’s official account announced that CIX would hold their third concert in Moscow, Russia on October 26.
In the past, due to proximity, K-Pop groups occasionally made stops in Russia. However, since Russia invaded Ukraine, this has no longer been the case.
On February 24, 2022, Russia escalated the ongoing war by invading Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. The conflict is still ongoing, with more than 8 million Ukrainians fleeing the country in what has been Europe’s largest conflict since World War II.

With Russia having begun invading, many fans expressed discomfort with the group performing in the country. Additionally, Moscow was recently targeted by a Ukrainian drone attack in which one woman was killed and three were injured, as well as damaging dozens of homes.
The location where the drone strike occurred is just 64 km (about 39.75 miles) from where CIX is scheduled to perform.
Moscow was previously isolated from attacks, but Ukraine has launched drone missions venturing deeper into the country.
Fans aimed their criticism at the company, questioning their decision for the group. By sending the group into the country, some fear the company is demonstrating implicit acceptance of what is happening and not directing complaints against innocent civilians.
I can’t even explain how many things are wrong with it like who the fuck came up with this idea and who the fuck approved it because they need to be fired NOW https://t.co/pqNBHw2vIH

Do you like blood money? Tell this to the Ukrainians who are bombed by missiles from Russian territory every day? Concert in Russia = Support for all war crimes and terrorism. #RussialsATerroristState https://t.co/W1bFiD6PPX
