Australian hardcore outfit Speed have been forced to postpone a handful of shows to focus on the search for their missing friend, Aje.

The group’s latest update on the matter is from January 7th:

“Members of Speed are a primary point of contact in the missing persons case for our friend Aje. As the search continues we will need to remain in the Sydney and Blue Mountains areas until we have more information. This means that the following shows of our tour will be postponed.

1/7 Newcastle @ Hamilton Station Hotel
1/9 Wollongong @ Dicey Riley’s Hotel
1/10 Gosford @ Drifter’s Wharf
1/11 Penrith @ Tattersall’s Hotel
1/12/ Canberra @ UC Hub

“We will regroup when we have more information to figure out the remaining January dates of the tour in Victoria and Adelaide. Thanks for you patience and understanding in this difficult time.”

On the same day, the group revealed:

“Our brother “Aje” (Chang-Wook Yeo) has been missing since 3:45pm 6/1/2025.  Last seen at Hanging Rock at Black Heath in the Blue Mountains region, where his phone and personal belongings were found there.

A search by local authorities has been stopped today due to the weather, so please be careful if around that area due to the terrain and potential danger.

He is a short Asian male, typically dressed in baggy clothes with glasses. His long hair has since been cut short. He speaks Korean and English. He lives in Sydney in Lidcombe so please keep an eye out in these areas too.

We do not have ANY further information, so please share this with friends, colleagues and if anyone has any information or has sighted anything please contact Katoomba Police Station on (02) 4782 8199”

On January 6, the group initially stated:

“Due to an emergency, Speed can unfortunately no longer play our show tonight at the Black Box Theatre in Nambour. The show will continue with Shackles headlining. Anyone seeking a refund can do so via Oztix. Thank you for your understanding.”
