The musical "Return," which drew attention with the appearance of EXO D.O., Xiumin and FT Island's Lee Hong-ki, has been postponed indefinitely.
The production company Insight Entertainment announced the indefinite postponement of the musical "Return" on its official SNS on June 15th and said, "We decided to postpone the opening of the reenactment indefinitely following the government's indefinite extension of quarantine in the Seoul metropolitan area on the 12th. We sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by delaying the opening of the show again. I wish everyone good health and well-being".
The full text of the musical Return's postpone announcement.
"Hello, we are Insight Entertainment, the production company of the musical 'Return'.
On May 28, the opening was delayed to June 16 following the government's announcement of measures to strengthen quarantine measures to suspend the operation of public-sector multi-use facilities in the Seoul metropolitan area.
Although we tried to operate the concert safely by delaying the opening of the concert, we decided that the opening of 'Return' could not be carried out as scheduled due to the cases of Corona 19 infection spreading around the Seoul metropolitan area and the government's 'extension of quarantine reinforcement indefinitely' on June 12.
So, we decided to postpone the opening of the musical "Return" indefinitely.
We are sorry to inform the audience who waited for the reopening of the musical "Return" on June 16th, even though the opening was postponed once and caused various inconveniences. We sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by delaying the opening of the concert again.
To mark the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, the musical "Return," which prepared to meet the audience after about a year of preparation, worked hard to keep its promise despite the unexpected Corona 19. Above all, for the first time as a big theater musical, we have prepared the performance with the safety of all the staff, actors, and audiences as a top priority through enhanced quarantine measures as well as a single space seating system.
In early May, we were able to tell you about the reenactment of the show. All the staff and actors worked together to prepare for the "Return" stage again. Despite the ever-changing Corona 19 incident, we couldn't easily give up the effort and sweat of more than a hundred people who participated in the concert, from the practice where the staff and actors voluntarily minimized all outside contact to the audience to the first live broadcast on June 10th.
However, we would like to say that we are no longer able to keep this stage due to the indefinite extension of quarantine measures in the metropolitan area. Once again, we're sorry to lose the hearts of the long-awaited audience.
We will continue to keep a close eye on the Corona 19 situation and make all-out efforts to resume the musical's "Return." We wish everyone good health and well-being until we meet again on stage. "
