NCT WISH will not participate in the concert in the United States due to visa issues.

SM Entertainment released an announcement on their official social media on the 10th, stating, "NCT WISH will not be able to take the stage at 'SMTOWN LIVE 2025 in L.A. due to visa issues."

The delay in approval has caused the visa issuance to fall through. "We sincerely completed all necessary procedures such as document submission and interviews to obtain visa approval for their participation, but due to unexpected approval delays, we were unable to receive the visa," they explained.

The exact reason for the issue has not been disclosed. "We tried our best to resolve the problem, but ultimately the visa was not issued, resulting in their inability to take the stage," they said.

They expressed deep apologies. "We did our utmost to obtain visa approval until the last moment, but we sincerely apologize for not being able to fulfill our commitment," they mentioned, bowing their heads.

'SMTOWN LIVE 2025 in L.A.' is a concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of SM Entertainment. It will be held on the 11th (local time) at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles, USA.
