The 6 North American dates of Taemin’s ‘LiMiNaL’ world tour (originally October 12–23) are postponed, not cancelled — announced by Galaxy Corporation on September 29, 2026, citing continued uncertainty over US visas.
If you hold a ticket for one of those shows, you can request a refund through the platform you bought from, and the rescheduled dates have no confirmed timeline yet.
This post covers what the announcement says, refund vs. holding your ticket, which shows are still on, and where the new dates will be announced.
Taemin Tour Postponed: What It Means for Your Ticket
| Seoul (Jamsil Indoor Stadium) | Sept 18–20 — completed, ~18,000 attended, unaffected |
|---|---|
| North America (San Jose, LA, Las Vegas, Dallas, Chicago, Newark) | Oct 12–23 — postponed, new dates being coordinated |
| Mexico (Monterrey, Mexico City) | Oct 28, Oct 30 — still listed as scheduled |
| South America (Santiago, Lima, São Paulo) | Nov 2–8 — still listed as scheduled |
| Europe (Paris through Tbilisi) | Nov 16 – Dec 9 — still listed as scheduled |
| North America (rescheduled) | TBA — no timeline given |
Your North American ticket is for a postponed show, not a cancelled one, so the money-back path runs through your original seller.
Galaxy Corporation announced on September 29, 2026 that the 6 North American dates (October 12–23) are postponed due to continuing uncertainty over US visas and related administrative procedures.
The agency said a significant number of core tour and production staff were still awaiting US visas with no clear issuance timeline, and proceeding as planned carried substantial production risk.
The notice describes the North American run as an essential part of the world tour that will proceed on a rescheduled itinerary.
Refunds for the currently scheduled shows can be requested via the original point of purchase, with each ticketing platform to publish its own procedures.
The announcement landed 13 days before the first scheduled show — San Jose on October 12.
When you read a postponement notice, the first thing to pin down is which platform holds your money, because refunds go back through that exact channel.
Refund vs. Hold Your Ticket: What the Announcement Says
You can request a refund through your original point of purchase; the notice does not say whether you can instead keep the ticket for the rescheduled dates.
Work through your own purchase record, not a fan-site summary:
- Find your purchase confirmation email to identify the platform that sold your ticket.
- Contact that platform and follow its refund procedure once it is published.
- Request a refund if you want the money back — the notice lists refunds via the original purchase point as the stated path.
- Otherwise, wait for the rescheduled North American dates to be announced.
No refund deadline was given in the September 29 announcement, and per-platform procedures had not yet been published.
If you already know you cannot attend any new date, start the refund with your original seller; if you want to attend, holding off is an option only if your platform offers it — check with the seller directly.
Which Shows Are Postponed and Which Are Not
Only the 6 North American dates (October 12–23) are postponed; the Mexico, South America and Europe legs remain listed as scheduled.
| Leg | Status |
|---|---|
| US — San Jose, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Grand Prairie (Dallas), Chicago, Newark (Oct 12–23) | Postponed; new dates and venues being coordinated |
| Mexico — Monterrey (Oct 28), Mexico City (Oct 30) | Listed as scheduled |
| South America — Santiago (Nov 2), Lima (Nov 6), São Paulo (Nov 8) | Listed as scheduled |
| Europe — Paris (Nov 16) through Tbilisi (Dec 9) | Listed as scheduled |
The Mexico dates (October 28 Monterrey, October 30 Mexico City), South America (November 2–8) and Europe (November 16 – December 9) carry no postponement notice.
No official statement says whether the other legs face the same US-visa staffing issue, so their listed status is what you have for now.
If your show is in Mexico, South America or Europe, watch the official channels for changes before booking travel rather than assuming the North America decision applies to you.
When Will the New North American Dates Be Announced
New dates and venues are being coordinated and will be announced once finalized — the September 29 notice gave no timeline.
Because the delay stems from US visa processing with no clear issuance schedule, the agency could not name a window for the rescheduled run.
The tour’s official site, taemintour.com, is the primary hub for updated schedule information, and the agency posted the notice on Taemin’s official social media.
Check taemintour.com and Taemin’s official accounts rather than resale pages or fan forums, since the announcement itself will come through those channels.
The Seoul Shows Already Happened — What That Means
The Seoul opening shows (September 18–20 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium) are complete and unaffected by the North American postponement.
The three shows drew roughly 18,000 attendees in total, and they were billed as the final concerts at Jamsil Indoor Stadium before its closure.
Seoul tickets were booked through YES24, with fan-club presale on August 10 and general sale on August 11.
If you attended Seoul, there is nothing to act on — the postponement only covers the upcoming North American run.
If you are building a trip around a later leg, Seoul is no longer an option on this tour; the remaining listed dates start with Mexico on October 28.
If it were me, I’d wait until the rescheduled dates are announced before requesting a refund — the North American run is a postponement, not a cancellation, and holding your ticket keeps the option of the new dates open.
The first thing I’d check is the official tour site and your original point of purchase, since each ticketing platform will spell out its own refund procedure.
