Ibuki of Osaka Ojojo Gyeung Speaks Out on 'Street Woman Fighter 3' Concert Absence, Cites Disputes with Organizers

Ibuki, the leader of 'Street Woman Fighter 3' (SWF3) winning crew Osaka Ojojo Gyeung, has broken her silence regarding her absence from the recent Seoul concert, alleging disagreements with the event organizers.

In a social media post on the 8th, Ibuki expressed her apologies to fans for not being able to fulfill her promise to meet them at the concert. She stated, 'I sincerely apologize for not being able to keep my promise to meet you at the concert after our win.' Ibuki further revealed that she was in discussions with a Korean lawyer concerning the concert, citing a situation where she felt her rights as an artist were not respected during the proposal stages, and that actions were taken that could have caused discord within the group.

She voiced her frustration over the organizers unilaterally announcing her non-participation in the upcoming Busan concert without formal consultation. 'I am truly sorry for my absence from the Seoul concert without being able to say anything, due to the risk of fans not being able to enjoy the show, and for causing significant burden and harm to the members,' she added. Ibuki concluded by expressing her hope for the organizers' cooperation to ensure her safe participation in future concerts.

The concert production company stated they are 'currently confirming the official stance' regarding Ibuki's claims. Previously, the company had announced Ibuki's withdrawal from both Seoul and Busan concerts due to health reasons. If Ibuki's allegations prove true, it could spark controversy over the concert's production and communication methods with artists.

Ibuki is a highly skilled dancer based in Japan, known for her intense charisma and exceptional performance abilities. As the leader of the dance crew Osaka Ojojo Gyeung, she garnered significant attention. Her presence during 'Street Woman Fighter 3' left a lasting impression on many fans.
