Criticism is continuing over the cancellation of musical actor Choi Jae-rim‘s performance.

The musical ‘Cyrano’ on the 20th was canceled on the same day due to lead actor Choi Jae-rim’s health.

The production company has refunded 110% of the ticket price to audiences who purchased tickets to the performance.

The casting for his other work, the musical ‘Kinky Boots’, on the 21st has also suddenly changed. Some netizens are criticizing, saying, “It was inevitable that it would explode due to his excessive overlapping appearances.”

This year, Choi Jae-rim has presented five musicals: ‘The Last Five Years’, ‘Chicago’, ‘Hidestown’, ‘Kinky Boots’, ‘Cyrano’, and the controversy over his ‘prolific career’ without considering his condition has been consistently pointed out among musical fans.
