By

Following the recent tragic events in Itaewon, multiple South Korean celebrities are canceling and postponing their scheduled promotional activities for the next few days.

Halloween celebrations turned deadly in South Korea’s Itaewon. It was reported that a crowd crush led to the death of 154 people, of whom 26 were foreign nationals and 132 were injured as per updates on Sunday, according to Korea Herald. An estimate of 100,000 people was expected to be in attendance on Saturday night in Itaewon.

In the narrow alley, around 10:40 pm, the crowd began to surge leaving people stuck there for over one and a half hours. This led to suffocation in the tight space. Videos and photos went viral on social media in which people and first responders were giving CPR on the spot to people who were unresponsive and went into cardiac arrest. Maximum fatalities were those of people in their 20s.

In light of the tragic events, BTS' Jin’s debut appearance on SBS’ reality show Running Man, which was scheduled for October 30, has now been cancelled. SBS announced the cancelation of his episode by issuing an official statement and asked for fans’ understanding.

Meanwhile, PSY's South Korean record label and entertainment agency PNATION announced that the label will “postpone uploading all scheduled promotional activities and contents until 11/05 12AM during this national mourning period.”

EXO's Chen also decided to postpone the release of his upcoming 3rd solo mini album Last Scene.

Soloist AleXa’s agency ZB label announced that AleXa has postponed the promotion schedule of her upcoming new mini album Girls Gone Vogue.

DRIPPIN also announced that DRIPPIN’s 1st album The Villain: The End promotional content, which was scheduled to be released today, will not be uploaded amid national mourning.

Xdinary Heroes' agency announced that the promotional content for the group's 2nd mini album Overload, will be temporarily suspended until further notice.

Moreover, actor Jung Il Woo also announced via statement on social media about the postponement of his fan meeting in Japan. The statement reads, “Notice of postponement of Osaka and Tokyo fan meeting. First of all, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Itaewon accident in Korea. As the period of national remembrance has been set in Korea, we also have to make a difficult decision to express our intentions of remembrance.”

The statement continued, “We have decided to postpone the Osaka and Tokyo performances you have been waiting for for a long time. We deeply apologize for having to postpone the fan meeting you have been waiting for and cheering us on until now. We promise to see you again, and once again we sincerely apologize. To the fans who came to the Osaka and Tokyo performances, Jung Il-woo would like to personally apologize.”

“The purchased ticket can be used for the next postponed performance, so please keep it until further notice,” they added.
