SBS and Jau Entertainment has postponed their scheduled K-pop concert just four days before its initial opening date on August 10, at Los Angeles' Home Deport Center in the United States.

The event's organizer Jau Entertainment told the magazine Wednesday that the hosts have delayed the "2012 K-POP SUPER CONCERT" until October as they have found more on-site preparations to reach perfection.

¡°We¡¯re working hard to figuring things out to open the show in October. But one thing for sure, we will hold the show in October,¡± a rep from Jau Entertainment explained.

On Monday, the show's local organizer Absolute K-pop write on their official Facebook page that, ¡°We regret to inform you that the SBS K-Pop Super Concert in America, scheduled to take place at the Home Depot Center this Friday, August 10, 2012, has been postponed to a later date. More details will be announced as soon as possible.¡±

The official made the announcement on their official Facebook page and Twitter, but there were no individual notices sent to ticket holders four days before cancelling the show.

The angry ticket buyers, who have even purchased their round-trip plane tickets and booked hotels for the show, flocked to the page to express their disappointment and criticize the organizers on their unprofessional way of dealing with the matter.

The organizers has not revealed the exact postponed date or the venue, but vowed to open the postponed concert tickets to the original ticket holders before the official ticket sales begin.

The firm announced on July 17 that nine top K-pop acts--Girl¡¯s Generation, 2PM, 2AM, CNBLUE, KARA, SISTAR, Secret, and MBLAQ--are scheduled to share the stage.
