Say Sue Me open up on the cancelled concert that would have chipped away at China’s ‘Hallyu ban’ on Korean entertainment
Say Sue Me were due to play a show in Beijing: a concert that would have chipped away at China’s famous years-long ‘Hallyu ban’ on entertainment and pop culture from South Korea. But it wasn’t to be – in an exclusive interview with NME, frontwoman Choi Sumi spoke about the permit withdrawal that foiled them, and their enduring desire to reach their Chinese fans someday.On June 20, the indie rock band from Busan revealed that they had successfully applied for a permit to play their first show in Beijing the following month, only for Chinese authorities to withdraw permission for the show to take place just as the band were gearing up to announce it.
