MBC May Cancel 'Gayo Daejejeon' Due to National Mourning

On the morning of the 29th, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 from Thailand crashed at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do, colliding with the outer wall. Of the 181 people on board the plane, 179 were killed and two were injured. Accordingly, the government designated the seven days from this day to the 4th of next month as a national mourning period.
As a result, the three terrestrial broadcasters are also on alert. Because each of them was preparing for the year-end ceremony. MBC is on the verge of canceling the 'Broadcasting Entertainment Awards' on the 29th, followed by the 'Acting Awards' on the 30th and the 'Song Festival' on the 31st.
In particular, the problem of 'Song Festival' is known to be serious. 'Song Festival' has been pre-recorded since the middle of this month for smooth progress. Most of the top-class idols, such as New Jeans, Espa, ATEEZ, and Taemin, finished the stage with pre-recording. In particular, according to officials, some teams reportedly pushed ahead with pre-recording even on the day of the accident on the 29th.
As it was not an easy decision for broadcasters to cancel the year-end plan, which was prepared with a lot of time, effort, and funds, the scheduled recording schedule was carried out as it was. However, we cannot show the singers dancing and singing on terrestrial broadcasting while the entire nation is in sorrow due to the terrible tragedy. Therefore, it is known that 'Song Festival' is taking various measures, including how to cancel the awards ceremony, how to broadcast the awards ceremony normally and broadcast it later, and how to proceed with the event itself later. However, if the awards ceremony is postponed, the cast's lineup will inevitably change, so they are struggling.
The possibility of editing the stage was also raised. The stage concept of the parent team was 'fire', and since 'Paper Plane Event' was also prepared, it is said that it will have to be edited or modified.
Meanwhile, numerous stars, including G-Dragon, Jaurim, and Park Myung-soo, expressed their condolences over the heartbreaking tragedy, and Save and others postponed the album release schedule.
