JusticeForAPink hashtag:
APink were performing their song "% %" at the annual music festival, one of the country's biggest music shows, which is broadcast live on South Korea's KBS television channel. Their performance was abruptly cut short before they could perform the ending of the number they prepared. The band members were left lost and confused before they were forced to head backstage. As one of the most senior girl group, it is very disrespect for APink.
