Choi Jae-rim's agency Fokix Entertainment said on the 22nd that "During the musical "Cyrano" matinee performance on December 20 (Friday), the performance was suspended due to actor Choi Jae-rim's sudden health reasons. "This caused damage to many audiences who came to the concert hall. We bow down and deeply apologize to the audience who came to the concert site on the day and to the audience who would have waited for the upcoming performance."
"Despite the sudden casting change, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my fellow actors and performance producers and staff for their great help."
The agency said, `Currently, actor Choi Jae-rim is in rapid recovery and is preparing to return to the stage of the musical 'Cyrano' on Dec. 25 (Wednesday), based on expert opinions""It is a heavy heart that the promised performance was not carried out amid the concerns and concerns of many people. I will not forget this heavy heart and do my best to show you a good performance" he said.
Earlier on the 20th, RG Company, CJ ENM, the producer of the musical 'Cyrano', announced that "Cyrano 役 Choi Jae-rim's performance was canceled at 2:30 p.m. today for health reasons."
I would like to express my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the sudden cancellation of the performance to the audience who booked the musical 'Cyrano' and visited to watch it"We informed the reservation holders of the performance that they would provide a 110% refund based on the ticket payment amount.
Choi Jae-rim was on stage that day, but she was known to be unstable from the beginning of the first act. He showed poor condition, with his voice cracking not only in high-pitched processing but also in general lines. Accordingly, the production team decided to cancel the performance before the start of the second act, judging that it was not possible to proceed with the performance.
Some pointed out that Choi Jae-rim's physical condition worsened due to excessive 'overlapping appearances'. From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, he performed 'The Phantom of the Opera', 'Les Miserables', 'The Last Five Years' together between Seoul and the provinces. He is currently performing in the musical "Chicago" and "Kinky Boots" in addition to local performances. From March next year, he will also join 'Jekyll and Hyde'.
Choi Jae-rim appeared on tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' which aired on the 27th of last month and asked why she is prolific, saying, `There is a time to learn skills, there is a time to mature this learning, and now there is a time to show skills as a player. It's time to show technology, so I think I'm running in the middle of it."
"I'm sure the time to find a lot will pass, but if I have the opportunity to stand on stage, if I have time, and if I have physical strength and will, I think I'm participating in the work a lot this year," he said.
