Musical actors' poor condition has disrupted the performance. Actor Choi Jae-rim chose to drop out and Cha Ji-yeon chose to stop performing.
On the 22nd, the stage of the musical "Gwanghwamun Love Song" was suspended due to poor condition of leading actor Cha Ji-yeon.
The performance began at 2 p.m. at the D-Cube Link Art Center in Guro-gu, Seoul, and was suddenly suspended during the first act. When Cha Ji-yeon, who is appearing as Wolha, showed temporary hyperventilating symptoms, the performance production company CJ ENM made the decision.
CJ ENM apologized on its official SNS account that night and said, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to those who have taken precious steps. We will proceed with a 110% refund based on the ticket payment amount to the concert reservation holders," he announced.
He also said, "We are moving to the hospital, receiving necessary measures according to the specialist's opinion, stabilizing, and recovering. Cha Ji-yeon added, "I am truly sorry for causing concern, and I expressed my gratitude that I will return to the stage in a better way by focusing on recovery."
Choi Jae-rim, who was embroiled in a controversy over "overlapping appearances," also dropped out of her musical performance due to her poor health. According to the recent performance industry, Choi Jae-rim did not appear on the stage of the second act of the musical "Cyrano" at the CJ Towol Theater at the Seoul Arts Center on the 20th.
The production company said, "Choi Jae-rim canceled the show for health reasons. Reservation holders of the performance will receive a 110% refund based on the ticket payment amount in two procedures.
Since then, some netizens who watched the performance said, "My voice didn't go up from the beginning, and my voice cracked," and "The applause was really small after the number was over."
Currently, Choi Jae-rim is starring in musicals Cyrano, Kinky Boots, and Chicago. It will also join 'Jekyll and Hyde' from March next year.
However, Choi Jae-rim canceled some of her scheduled schedules. Actor Kang Hong-seok took the stage instead of Choi Jae-rim the day before in the musical "Kinky Boots" performed at Seongnam Art Center. In the musical "Chicago" Busan performance, Park Gun-hyung played the role of "Billie Flynn" on behalf of Choi Jae-rim. On the 26th, KBS radio's "Park Myung-soo's Radio Show" was also canceled.
