Broadcasting, performance, and a theater house are suffering from a direct hit again due to the re-proliferation airflow of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Therefore, officials from various places are also reorganizing and strengthening their habits in daily life due to official anti-virus rules during the production process.
According to the Central Anti-Disaster Headquarters at 0:00 on the 24th, the number of new COVID-19 confirmed increased by 785 to 118,243. The third pandemic has spread since November last year, and the fourth epidemic has actually come to the fore as a result of sporadic infections before it is completely suppressed.
From the performance system that communicates with the audience at close range, it is naturally hit by the aftermath. The musical Gwangju canceled performance suddenly on the evening of the 23rd following the confirmation of actor Min Woo-hyuk's COVID-19.
In addition, the performance-based anticipated Dracula team, which is about to open in May, also stopped the heated practice process as actor Son Jun-ho was confirmed. Because the team members and staff are significant, more than a dozen teams have been tested for COVID-19. Currently, Shin Sung-rok and Junsu have been judged negative, but the team must stop practicing for a while and implement self-discipline.
The broadcasting industry is also in the same situation. Hong Eun-hee, who is appearing on KBS weekend drama OK Photosister, was recently tested following the confirmation of the makeup staff COVID-19, and the drama team also started the COVID-19 test. In the aftermath, OK Photon Sisters also failed to broadcast on the 17th and 18th.
As there are various schedules, the subsequent COVID-19 damage of broadcasters is also considerable. Kwon Hyuk-soo was diagnosed with COVID-19 and all of his contacts, Hyosung and Girl Group Stace, were tested for COVID-19. Golf actress Pak Se-ri was also filming with an actor who was recently judged COVID-19, and was confirmed on the 23rd. In the future, entertainers who are digesting various Events and broadcasts in the future will not be able to slow down the tension.
The official Events of entertainment, performance, film, and advertising, which were scheduled for the fourth trend of COVID-19, are also replaced or suspended online again. “We are discussing the cancellation of the Event we were preparing,” said a film publicist. “As the theater house is once again in a hurry, the premiere and the meeting with the actors are likely to be virtually stopped,” he said, worrying about the ice-like atmosphere of the film industry, which was hit by a direct hit in COVID-19.
No specific anti-virus guidelines have been published in preparation for the current fourth trend. However, the Central Anti-Disaster Headquarters has set the distance of the metropolitan area to two levels by May 2, and special workers such as entertainment industry where many people gather should make their own life free of charge separate from the official anti-disaster guidelines. Broadcasting prices with advertisements are severely damaged if there is a gap in the organization. Currently, each broadcasting station and production company personnel are making their own efforts to disinfect, mask, limit the number of production crews, and measure body temperature. The performance system, which has hit the 4th trend of COVID-19 right now, is also in the position to suspend the preparation schedule with the priority of prEvention even if the schedule is adjusted.
