According to allkpop – yes.. i hate to say this but this time, it’s actually a fact and not a rumor – Kangin will not attend Asia Song Festival which is scheduled today on the 19th of September. I’m speechless… Kangin only got in a fight for god’s sake..! Cut loose people.. I know the situation is not easy for him to perform on stage, but still… Having said that, if it’s his own decision then we, as fans, should respect it.
Although Kangin headed over to Hong Kong for Super Junior’s Super Show 2 concert, it has just been confirmed that he will not attend the 2009 Asia Song Festival.
SM Entertainment stated to Newsen on the 18th: “Kangin will not be attending the Asia Song Festival. Although Kangin will not attend, the rest of the Super Junior members will continue on as planned and perform on stage.”
Kangin will be returning to Korea immediately after the Super Show 2 concert is over. In addition, Hwang Jung Eum and Kim Yong Joon will be replacing Kangin for the Andre Kim fashion show.
Kangin who is currently under investigation for a recent assault case, which occurred at a bar in Seoul on September 16th, 2009, is still claiming innocence. Details from the CCTV footage from the night of the fight was supposed to be released today, however, it has been delayed as police have now hired experts to analyze the footage due to it being dark and difficult to view.

It is also reported that the police is done with the investigation on the CCTV footage and official statements regarding the result will be released soon. Again, let’s hope for the favorable outcome for Kangin… (gosh.. i’m super anxious!!)
Police have finished looking into closed circuit television footage they obtained of a fight boy band Super Junior member Kang-in was involved in two days ago, according to an official.
“The results are out but we cannot give you the exact details yet since the investigation is still in process,” senior police official Gwak Jeong-ki at Gangnam Police Station told Asia Economic Daily over the phone on Friday.
“We will make an official statement soon though,” he added.
The video will provide key evidence as to whether Kang-in, booked for assault along with three others on Wednesday, inflicted violence on one of the customers identified only by his last name Kim.
Kim has said he was hit by the singer while Kang-in has denied being violent during the brawl which took place at a bar early Wednesday.
Kang-in is a vocal of the 13-member group which debuted in 2005.

In the meantime, Kangin is probably on his way back to Korea as we speak.. and as much as i want to watch the fancams of Super Show, it will be too heartbreaking for me to see kangin performing on stage, smiling to the the fans while he’s actually struggling inside.
A TwELF reported that she saw Kangin and Leeteuk at the airport and she mentioned how Kangin lowered his head along the way and followed Leeteuk’s lead. This is Kangin we’re talking about.. No one or nothing could have ever made him lower his head like that… I’m sorry for the emotional touch I give into this writing, but it’s hard for me to see one or any of the boys going through such phase.
