This is because there have been concerns about safety accidents, such as crowds at the site.
Photos and videos of the scene were posted online,
You can also see people crowded on a narrow road, many layers of safety fence.
Yesterday's event was scheduled to be attended by a large number of famous celebrities such as actors Byun Woo-seok and Kim Tae-ri, girl group Aespa member Karina, and SHINee Taemin, so if people flock to see them, it could lead to a big accident.
Jung Won-oh, head of Seongdong-gu District Office, said on social media early this morning, "We decided that the event could no longer be held due to growing concerns over safety accidents yesterday, and asked the organizers to end the event voluntarily," adding, "We ask for your understanding as it is a measure for safety above all else."
Netizens criticized the organizers, asking if the event should have been held at the entrance of a narrow alley in the first place.
In July, the performance of famous DJ Peggy Gu, which was scheduled to be held at a concert hall in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, was also suspended due to safety concerns.
This is because there were safety concerns, with too many people flocking and some audiences complaining of difficulty breathing.
We should all wake up so that the sad accident that happened in Itaewon two years ago will not be repeated again.
