The production company of the musical Dawn's Eye has officially apologized for causing a stir over the cancellation of the performance.

The production company NextSketch made an official statement on the 11th and said, "We promise to repay you with better performances to take responsibility for this incident after seeing actor Baek Sung-hyun's apology today," adding, "We officially inform the production company that all responsibilities are with us and apologize on behalf of everyone."

"We are currently taking follow-up measures to the one-day performance in question, and the first performance of Baek Sung-hyun and Park Jung-ah is doing their best on March 17," he said, adding, "I would like to take this opportunity to bow and apologize to the firefighters and their families who took precious steps at the invitation of Baek Sung-hyun and the audience who came to see Dawn's Eyes."

"We promise to do our best to prevent this from happening in the future, and we promise to give a performance without disappointment to the people who love 'Eyes of Dawn'," he said. "We apologize again on behalf of all the production staff."

Earlier on the 8th, the production company abruptly canceled the performance of Dawn's Eye, which was scheduled at Dawn of Converse Stage Arena in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. In particular, it was known that the cancellation notice was made on the day of the performance, which drew criticism from the audience. Some audiences reportedly protested, saying that prior guidance as well as follow-up measures were not properly implemented.

In the aftermath, a free initial performance event for 1,000 former and current firefighters and their families, which was organized at the suggestion of lead actor Baek Sung-hyun, was also canceled. The production company said at the time, "The performance was inevitably canceled due to internal circumstances," but some argued that there was a conflict between the actors and the production company over guarantee.

Baek Sung-hyun also said in an apology posted on his SNS account on the 11th, "The current situation was caused by structural problems between the production company and the former actors, and I ask you to deeply understand the hardships of your fellow actors who had no choice but to make difficult decisions for their legitimate rights." "I'm trying hard for my stage as one of the leading actors," he said. "If you visit me again, I'll repay you with my name." Once again, I am truly sorry," he said.

Meanwhile, the musical Dawn's Eye is based on MBC's 30th anniversary special drama Dawn's Eye, which aired from 1991 to February 1992. At the time of the broadcast, it received a lot of attention, recording the highest viewership rating of 58.4%. The musical was recognized for its cinematic quality when it was nominated for the Korea Musical Awards for Best Work at its premiere in 2019. The work was decided to extend its performance from the 24th of last month to April 12. Since then, Park Jung-ah as the female lead Yoon Yeo-ok and Baek Sung-hyun as the male lead Choi Dae-chi have joined, drawing attention with new casting.
