The performance of the musical "Eyes of Dawn," which drew attention by casting actors Baek Sung-hyun and Park Jung-ah as the main characters, was suddenly canceled.

As a result of the Star News report on the 11th, the musical "Eyes of Dawn" scheduled at Converse Stage Arena in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, was suddenly canceled at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on the 8th. The cancellation of the performance is known to have been notified on the same day, causing criticism from the audience. Some audiences reportedly protested, saying that prior guidance as well as follow-up measures were not properly implemented.

The production company NextSketch said, "It was inevitably canceled due to internal circumstances." However, some have argued that there is a conflict between actors and production companies over their performance fees, drawing attention. The production company said, "We apologize for causing inconvenience and concern to the audience who waited for the performance," adding, "The current situation has been smoothly resolved and the performance is proceeding normally."

The cancellation also canceled free invitation performances for 1,000 current and former firefighters and their families. The invitation was prepared at the suggestion of Baek Sung-hyun, who was recently cast as a leading actor. In response, the National Fire Agency said, "We decided to cancel the entire scheduled invitation performance schedule for firefighters because we judged that additional employee inconvenience could occur."

The musical "Eyes of Dawn" is based on the 30th anniversary special drama of MBC's founding, which aired from 1991 to February 1992. At that time, it received a great deal 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. By compressing the narrative of the 36-part original drama into six acts, historical scenes such as Shanghai and Jeju April 3 were realized on the stage.

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.
