South Korean entertainment schedules up in the air

SEOUL - Schedules of performances and interviews in South Korea have been thrown into a state of uncertainty by a sudden martial law declaration that was lifted only a few hours later.

On the morning of Dec 4, the promotional team for Netflix series The Trunk announced the cancellation of a media interview with actress Seo Hyun-jin scheduled for that day.

"Updates on a new schedule will be provided later," the global streaming service said.

Seo's interview was initially set to take place on Dec 4 from 11am in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

The status of interviews with other cast members, including Gong Yoo and Jung Yoon-ha, which were slated for Dec 5 and 6 respectively, remains pending further announcements.

An interview with film director Yang Woo-seok for his upcoming film About Family, scheduled to be released on Dec 11, was also under review for rescheduling.
