Following a devastating plane crash at Muan International Airport in South Jeolla Province yesterday, South Korea’s entertainment industry has significantly scaled back public events in response to the tragedy that claimed 179 lives. The crash, involving a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok, prompted the South Korean government to declare a national mourning period running through January 4, impacting a wide range of media and entertainment schedules.
Several events have been cancelled or postponed as a sign of respect. The press conference for the upcoming film starring K-pop idol Do Kyung-soo (D.O. of EXO) and actress Won Jin-ah, was cancelled yesterday at Seoul’s Megabox Coex. It had been slated for a January release ahead of the 2025 Lunar New Year holidays, but the cancellation of promotional events, including TV appearances, reflects the industry’s respect for the national mourning period. The TV program “Chef & My Fridge” featuring stars Song Joong-ki and Lee Hee-jun on JTBC was shelved when programming shifted to news coverage. Additionally, the broadcaster postponed both the 2024 Gayo Daejejeon WANNABE and the annual fanmeeting event, with the latter’s photo time event yesterday being scrapped entirely. These changes, along with similar adjustments from KBS and SBS, are in line with the industry’s custom of refraining from public celebrations during mourning periods. Well-known K-pop idols, such as V from BTS and Joshua from SEVENTEEN, postponed anniversary videos that were set to be released yesterday. Stray Kids also postponed their “Song By” video content planned for this week, joining the many artists adjusting their schedules in the wake of the tragedy
