[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The National Ballet Company has decided to dismiss a company member who traveled abroad during the self-quarantine period.

On the afternoon of the 16th, the National Ballet Company held a disciplinary committee meeting and decided to dismiss Namo (28), who traveled to Japan during the self-quarantine period.
