K-Pop boycott US troops concert

SEOUL: South Korea’s presidential Blue House said Wednesday it was “regrettable” a government-backed concert for US troops stationed in the country was hit by a boycott from scores of K-Pop stars.

The Sunday concert was to mark the 100th anniversary of the US 2nd Infantry Division, which is stationed in Uijeongbu, just north of the capital Seoul, but activists launched a campaign against the event.
