The play "Life of Pi" was canceled five minutes before the performance, leading to complaints from the audience. It is natural that the audience's heart is upset, but the actors who were waiting for the performance behind the stage were also upset. Park Jung-min also stamped his feet because he couldn't get on stage with the audience who came to see him outside.

On the 10th, the play "Life of Pi" was canceled five minutes before the show began. "Life of Pi" suddenly decided to cancel the performance five minutes before the start of the performance and guided the audience through the broadcast. It was a popular sold-out performance, and the sudden cancellation of the performance caused confusion for everyone with many audiences flocking to see Park Jung-min.

Afterwards, the production company issued a statement and said, "We tried to restore some lighting devices due to a sudden technical problem, but we decided to cancel the performance today because it was difficult to proceed with the performance." "During the final inspection, the lighting device did not operate due to an unknown cause, and we decided to cancel it considering safety." We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to the audience who took the precious time to visit the concert hall," he said.

Life of Pi production later promised and apologized for a 110% refund of the payment amount in a notice. It was a measure for the audience who had a hard time ticketing and came all the way to see the performance, but the audience's regret continues.

As a result of Star News coverage, the theater production company found an abnormality in the pre-performance inspection and tried to recover it, but it was not resolved. The production team continued to conduct technical inspections to raise the performance somehow, and the actors also prepared for the performance while waiting for restoration behind the stage. However, it was difficult to delay the play without knowing how long the inspection would continue, so the situation flowed with urgency, such as the decision to cancel the performance five minutes before the performance.

The actors who were waiting behind the stage also waited until the end for the lighting problem to be resolved. However, he was informed that it was difficult to raise the performance because the problem was not resolved, and he was disappointed. Park Jung-min, the main character, must have been more sad than anyone else to be unable to stand in front of the audience who came to see him. However, I went down quietly because I knew the production team who tried to restore the stage until the end.

"Life of Pi" is based on Jan Martel's novel "The Story of Pi" and depicts the 227 days of adventures of Pi, a boy who was swept away by a huge storm and left alone with Richard Parker, a Bengal tiger, on a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Since this work has many stage equipment such as lighting and special effects, such stage inspection is essential every performance. The cancellation of the performance would be unfortunate for the audience, but both the actors and the production team are disappointed. Nevertheless, it is difficult to cancel the performance rather than performing without proper stage lighting or taking a little risk, but it would have been the safest decision.
