The play "Life of Pi," starring actor Park Jung-min, was suddenly canceled five minutes before the performance began, drawing complaints.

"Life of Pi," which was scheduled to open at 7:30 p.m. on the 10th, was abruptly canceled just five minutes before the start of the performance.

Announcing the cancellation of the opening performance on the same day, the production company posted a notice saying, "No performance due to technical defects," "100% refund of the payment amount," "Individual text messages, in turn scheduled, and "We apologize again to the audience who visited the theater." No specific explanation was included here, and audiences who visited the theater had to be aware of the cancellation of the performance only with short notices and announcements.

The production company later issued an official apology at 11:30 p.m. four hours after the performance was canceled, and explained, "The lighting device did not work due to an unknown cause during the final inspection, and we decided to cancel it considering safety."

He also said, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to the audience who took the precious time to visit the venue. We will provide individual information to paid bookers for today's performance, including refund procedures by text message through each reservation office," he said.

However, the audience is expressing regret over the sudden cancellation method and on-site response method, which were announced only five minutes before the performance.

Regarding the response method that did not consider the audience, the online community said, "Does it make sense to notify the cancellation while waiting for admission. There are even audiences who did not hear the announcement properly, "I came home without being able to enter the audience," "It's a shame that I had a hard time finding the performance with my family living in other areas," "I'm angry to be notified like this when I even used annual leave," and "It was so shocking to cancel five minutes ago."

The play "Life of Pi" is based on the world's best-selling novel "Pie Story," and the performance was scheduled to feature Park Jung-min, Hwang Man-ik, Zua, and Jin Sang-hyun.
