Fans who visited the conference center noticed that it was being setup for a bank's event on the 13th. Since EHzZ's event was originally scheduled for afternoon of the 14th, they would have had only half a day to setup the event space and no time for rehearsals. | Fans who visited the conference center noticed that it was being setup for a bank's event on the 13th.

On the 14th, despite the cancellation of the event, many fans both local to Shanghai and those who travelled from out of town gathered outside the conference center. A large display of identical bouquets were sent to the venue. Fans dressed in EHzZ clothing took group photos outside. | On the 14th, despite the cancellation of the event, many fans both local to Shanghai and those who travelled from out of town gathered outside the conference center.

He spoke for 10 minutes, first stating that the event was "missing some procedures" then claiming that it was cancelled because of "60-70 reports per day to the city hotline."<ref>[https://youtu.be/WoT0Sih4Wik Chairman of Ansa addressing fans]</ref> | |||
