Movie 'Chimipja' Postponed Again Due to Growing Social Concerns Over COVID-19 View original image


Distributor Ace Maker Movie Works announced on the 12th that the release of the film Intruder will be postponed once again. This decision was made due to the recent rapid increase in confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Kwon Jun-wook, deputy head of the Central Disease Control Headquarters, stated at a regular briefing that "as of noon on the 12th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases related to the Itaewon clubs is 102." He added, "We are continuing to identify additional contacts and conduct epidemiological investigations into the source of infection."



This is the second time the release of Intruder has been delayed. The film was originally scheduled to be released on March 12, but the schedule was disrupted due to the spread of COVID-19. After much consideration, the release was rescheduled for the 21st, but this was also canceled for the same reason. Ace Maker Movie Works stated, "Due to growing social concerns such as the nationwide postponement of kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school openings, we have determined that it is difficult to proceed with the film's release as planned," and announced that the release date will be postponed to the 4th of next month. They added, "We sincerely hope that the situation caused by COVID-19 will improve quickly."
