Jae-bum and DBSK cut from “Dream Concert” poster

…and so it begins.

A recently updated poster for the much anticipated 2009 Dream Concerthas been released and it’s missing a few faces.

For starters, idol group DBSK has been completely removed from the poster. That’s because it has been recently confirmed by the Korean Entertainment Producers Association (the organizers of the concert) that due to the group’s current lawsuit with SM Entertainment, DBSK will most likely not be performing at the event.

KEPA released a statement saying:

“About this unforeseen incident, Korean Entertainment Producers Association and SM Entertainment has been having discussions in regard to former performers matter, and currently meet in the decision that under present condition, starring TVXQ in the concert is very difficult, therefore for everyone who is looking forward to TVXQ performance, we’re really sorry and sincerely apologize.”

In addition, 2PM’s former leader Park Jae-bum has been removed from the poster, as he is no longer a member of the group. The rest of the group members appear, however, indicating that they’ll still be be performing (just without Jae-bum). No official statement has been made to the contrary.

The 2009 Dream Concert will be held on October 10th at Sangnam World Cup Stadium and will feature acts like Super Junior, Big Bang, MC Mong,Jewelry and 2PM (minus former member, Jae-bum).
