Lee Hyori's comeback promotions suffer another setback

Lee Hyori's comeback schedule has been thrown into disarray once again due to events that are out of her control. Having last released an album in 2008, fans have been waiting patiently for Lee Hyori to return and after numerous delays, it was announced that she will return in April. But the early April comeback did not materialise after the naval shipping tragedy resulted in many shows being canceled en masse as a mark of respect. Hyori then pushed her comeback date to mid-April as a result. But worst was to come when her album tracks got leaked onto the internet a few days before the actual release on the 13th. They then scrambled to release the album a day before the release instead. And just when everyone was hoping to see Lee Hyori begin her promotions this week, it was reported that Music Bank would be canceled tomorrow due to ongoing salvage operations for the naval ship. While M! Countdown will proceed as scheduled tonight, there are question marks over the broadcast of Music Core and Inkigayo. There's also a lot of uncertainty over the fate of the weekend variety programs at the moment. April is certainly not a good month for singers.
