According to Wassup's label Mafia Records, the girl group's schedules in China have been canceled abruptly. 


The label relayed, "We're facing unexpected trouble after learning that Wassup's appearance at the Wei Shang 20th Anniversary Big Star Concert, taking place August 5, has been canceled; furthermore, all of Wassup's schedules for the latter half of 2016 have likewise been canceled."


They continued, "We had heard rumors about China prohibiting K-Pop acts, but when we contacted the host of the event, we received positive answers, so we were preparing for the schedule as planned, but then the schedule was suddenly canceled."


Tensions between China and Korea have been escalating after Korea's decision to deploy THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), and many speculate that the numerous, unexplained cancellations of Hallyu stars' Chinese schedules seem to be their direct results.
