From the 18th to the 20th (local time), the "KCON LA2023" was held in Los Angeles, USA, and singer Rain also participated in this concert. However, not only did the local fans have no reaction, they even turned off the support sticks, deliberately not reacting at all.

On that day, Rain performed his popular song "Rainism" on stage, but the audience gave no reaction at all. They watched the entire performance in silence. What's more exaggerated is that the spectator seats, which should have been illuminated by support light sticks, were completely dark, creating a noticeable difference from the stages of other singers.

According to netizens, the reason for the reaction to Rain's performance that day was related to Ciipher. Ciipher was originally a 7-member group, but this time more than half of the members have left the group. One of the remaining members, KEITA, will be participating in the activities of EVNNE, a spin-off group from "BOYS PLANET", and will not be able to participate in Ciipher's activities for a short period of time. It's almost like the group has disbanded.

In response to this, overseas fans couldn't help but criticize Rain, saying, "He disbanded only 2 years and 5 months after his debut, as a producer, Rain is really too irresponsible," and "Ciipher is on the verge of disbanding, but Rain is still performing." As a result, they boycotted Rain's performance at KCON.

The news reached Korea, and netizens also expressed no surprise. "I think this is retribution. Since they decided to make a group, they should be responsible till the end," "Even if you're not a fan of that group, if you're a KPOP fan, there's a high chance you would dislike him," "It's possible that they could also do this," "Their reasons are acceptable," "He is only left with his mouth," "The fans who go there are not just any fans, they are the ones who paid expensive ticket prices to go in, they indeed might understand more."

Some netizens were surprised that "even overseas fans are aware of this", "how do overseas fans know this, it's amazing!". There were also comments mocking CJ Entertainment, which organizes KCON, "CJ also doesn't understand the situation. How could they invite him while they have been causing a great fuss with their produced group recently?" and "They should consider whether the person is suitable or not. The event completely fell flat, didn't it?"
