JTBC has postponed the broadcast schedule for Hyun Bin’s Newsroom interview, following Song Joong Ki’s appearance on Please Take Care of My Refrigerator following the Jeju Air plane crash.
On December 29, JTBC announced, “The third episode of Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, originally scheduled to air at 9 p.m. today, will not be broadcast due to special news coverage.”
The episode was initially planned to feature Song Joong Ki and Lee Hee Joon, stars of the movie Bogotá: City of the Lost, as guests. However, due to the passenger plane accident at Muan Airport, the broadcast has been postponed to next week.
On the same day, Hyun Bin’s Newsroom interview was also rescheduled. JTBC stated, “The Newsroom interview with Hyun Bin and director Woo Min Ho, originally set for 6:30 p.m., has been postponed and will air at a later date.”
Hyun Bin and director Woo Min Ho had pre-recorded the interview to promote their film Harbin. However, JTBC decided to delay the broadcast, considering the gravity of the situation.
Earlier on the morning of December 29, a plane arriving from Bangkok veered off the runway while landing at Muan International Airport in Mangun-myeon, Muan County, South Jeolla Province. The Jeju Air flight 7C2216, which departed from Bangkok, was scheduled to arrive at 8:30 a.m. The aircraft carried a total of 181 people, including 175 passengers and six crew members.
According to authorities, as of now, there are 151 confirmed fatalities, two injuries, and 28 individuals whose condition status remains unconfirmed.
Jeju Air issued a statement saying, “We deeply apologize to all those affected by the Muan Airport accident. We will make every effort to manage the aftermath of the incident. We are truly sorry for the concern this has caused.”
Harbin is a South Korean historical action film set in the early 20th century during Korea’s struggle against Japanese colonial rule. The story centers around Korean independence fighters and their efforts, sacrifices, and determination to fight for Korea’s freedom.
Bogotá: The City of the Lost is a crime drama film set in the 1990s in Bogotá, Colombia. The movie follows the story of a young Korean man, Guk Hee (Song Joong Ki), who immigrates to Bogotá as a teenager with his family in search of a better life after the IMF crisis in Korea.
Struggling in a foreign land, Guk Hee strives to carve out a path for himself in the cutthroat world of Bogotá’s black market.
