Kim Soo Hyun and Hongki were invited to attend a preliminary meeting for the pro-bowler qualification competition. However due to concerns about the safety of the fans who would gather at the site, the pro-bowler committee has asked the two men and other celebrities to send in stand-ins. 

Prior to this decision by the committee, the celebrities planned to attend the preliminary meeting themselves and would have had received their equipment and uniforms checked, as well as a chance to study the competition site. 

Kim Soo Hyun and Hongki's agencies have officially announced that they will only attend the actual qualification events on October 22 and 23.
