More music shows canceled upcoming episodes due to the recent Itaewon Halloween tragedy.

On October 30 KST, the morning following the incident, President Yoon Seok Yeol held a press conference at the Yongsan Presidential Office, where he announced an emergency public discourse related to the Itaewon tragedy and declared a period of national mourning continuing until November 5.

Out of respect for what happened, Mnet and KBS2 also decide to cancel their November 3rd and 4th episode of music shows.  

Meanwhile, as previously reported, over 100,000 individuals gathered in the Itaewon neighborhood on October 29 to celebrate Halloween. As of 11:55 PM on October 30, 154 deaths and 132 injuries have been confirmed.
