K-pop idol boy band BTS has canceled their Japan concert planned on Sunday to Monday due to two members suffering from dizziness.

V and Suga from the band, according to the band’s official SNS site on Sunday, demanded they will proceed with the concert but medical experts in Japan said the singers must rest.

The band’s management company, BigHit Entertainment, said on the site they chose to cancel the show rather than to push forward with the plan with the band missing two members and failing to impress audiences.

“CT scanning on the two members showed they were suffering from no serious causes other than dizziness. The illness appeared to be due to the members’ excessive physical movement on stages,” an insider from the company said on the site.

The concert, “2015 BTS Live Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa on Stage ~ Japan Edition ~,” was planned to take place in World Memorial Hall in Kobe.
