[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] As singer and actor T.O.P. (Choi Seung-hyun) confirmed his relationship with actress Nana, an exhibition that fans had been preparing was canceled due to a lack of participants. Although news of the exhibition’s cancellation broke two days after the relationship was made public, the organizers did not disclose the specific reason for the cancellation.

Admission fees paid by existing registrants will be fully refunded, and details regarding the refund process and schedule will be provided individually. The organizers explained that they determined the scale of this year’s exhibition based on actual attendance figures from previous events. Taking into account the tour schedule and fans’ circumstances, they scaled the event down compared to previous years and anticipated a total of 300 participants over the two days. However, the number of reservations received amounted to only about 25% of the projected capacity. The organizers stated that, since they had already finalized the venue rental contract and paid the deposit, they had intended to proceed with the event despite incurring additional costs and losses; however, they subsequently received a series of cancellation requests from existing reservation holders. As a result, the expected number of participants dropped to about 10–15% of the original daily capacity. The organizers explained, “We determined that, with the current number of participants, it would be difficult to operate the exhibition normally in the format and scale we had originally planned and prepared for.” This event is a fan-organized photo exhibition inspired by TOP’s first solo studio album, *Multiple Perspectives*. The organizers had planned to reinterpret the 11 tracks on the album through different spaces and concepts, and to include interactive programs. Meanwhile, T.O.P and actress Nana confirmed their relationship on the 2nd.
