The music industry has joined in mourning the Jeju Air flight crash. The unit BSS of 'SEVENTEEN' announced the postponement of their new release promotion schedule on the 29th. They stated, "We express our deep condolences for the tragic news and ask for the fans' understanding."
Content related to a member's birthday will not be uploaded either. Pledis Entertainment delivered this news on the 30th, considering the national mourning period.
IVE also changed their schedule ahead of the release of their third mini-album 'IVE EMPATHY'. They stated, "We express our deep condolences to the victims and their families."
Jeju Air flight 7C2216 attempted to make a belly landing at Muan International Airport in South Jeolla Province around 9:03 a.m. the previous day when it collided with airport facilities. Most of the aircraft was burned.
Out of the 181 people on board, 179 passengers died, except for two crew members. This incident resulted in the most casualties from an aviation accident in South Korea.
Authorities have recovered all the victims' bodies and are in the process of identifying them by comparing them with the DNA of the bereaved families. However, this is expected to take considerable time.
