Senior actor Lee Soon-jae (89) was unable to resume the play in the end due to health problems.
Park Company, the production company of the play Waiting for Godot, announced today (18th) that "Mr. Lee Soon-jae received an additional opinion from his doctor that he needed a three-month break, and inevitably canceled the remaining performances according to the will of Mr. Lee Soon-jae and his agency."
"We sincerely apologize for the great disappointment to the audience who have waited for the performance for a long time," he said. "We sincerely ask you to refrain from speculative articles and rumors regarding the cancellation of your performance."
Actors Park Jung-bok, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Jung Jae-won decided to host five additional performances as all remaining performances were canceled due to Lee Soon-jae's health problems. The cast schedule for the three actors is five times on Nov. 3, 10, 17, 24 and 30.
Earlier, the production company announced on the 10th that it would cancel the performance until the 20th for Lee Soon-jae's health reasons. As a result, Choi Min-ho, who originally scheduled an interview with reporters on the 18th, canceled the schedule, and eventually did not go on stage again as all other episodes were canceled.
