A seven-day national mourning period has been set in connection with the Jeju Air disaster at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do. As a result, it became unclear whether the year-end awards ceremony of the three broadcasting companies will be held.
On the morning of the 29th, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, which departed from Bangkok, Thailand, for Muan Airport, attempted to land on the runway of Muan Airport without the landing gear (plane wheels) unfolded, and collided with airport facilities, causing most of the aircraft to burst into flames.179 people, including all 175 passengers and two pilots and cabin crew members, were killed at the scene in the
accident. Accordingly, the government announced that the seven-day national mourning period will be set from today (30th) to 24:00 on January 4, 2025.
As a result, the entertainment industry has canceled or suspended its scheduled schedule and is participating in the national memorial atmosphere.
The "2024 MBC Broadcasting Entertainment Awards," which was scheduled to be held at 8:30 p.m. on the same day, was also completely canceled.
MBC announced, "We tried to hold the event after confirming the cancellation of the '2024 Broadcasting Entertainment Awards', but after in-depth discussions, we decided to cancel the ceremony altogether." Later dates are undecided.
The end-of-year events of the three broadcasting companies, which began with the "KBS Song Festival Global Festival" on the 20th, have so far hosted the "SBS Acting Awards," "KBS Entertainment Awards," and "SBS Song Competition."
On the 31st, 'KBS Acting Awards', 'SBS Entertainment Awards', and 'MBC Music Festival' are scheduled. The three broadcasting companies are considering and discussing the programming. In particular, MBC was in trouble because it did not hold all three awards ceremonies.
