One of the group's concert venues in the Group EXO is close to the place where the Fukushima nuclear power plant accidents occurred, which is controversial.

On April 22, Avex, a Japanese agency responsible for Japan's activities in Japan, announced the schedule of the concert with Exo's Japanese fan club site, "Starting to accept tickets from the 15th".

According to the announcement, exo will be held at the Marin Messe Fukuoka (Oct. 11-13), Osaka Castle Hall (Oct. 18-19), Yokohama Arena (Oct. 22-23), Miyagiseki Suihai Super Arena EXO Planet # 5 - EXPLOration 'World Tour will be held on the 20th ~ 21st.
However, a number of fans raised the issue of protecting artists, saying that the venue of Miyagi, the venue of the last performance, was close to the accident site of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

In fact, the venue is located about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Fukushima by car, and Miyagi Prefecture is one of the regions where Korea has banned imports of seafood.

The fans are saying, "Is it safe to be careful?" And "The agency that protects the artist is rather at risk."

Some fans are running a campaign against the concert through the social networking system called "#sm_exo_miyagikon_ cancel" called hashtag.

While domestic fans are rebelling, it is noteworthy how Exo's domestic agency, SM Entertainment, will offer its position.
