[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] Singer Lee Seung-hwan (56) emphasized that the postponement of his Jeonju concert was "a voluntary decision to delay the performance considering the nationwide (COVID-19) outbreak situation."


On the 23rd, Lee Seung-hwan posted an article titled "Na Hoon-a is not allowed, but Lee Seung-hwan is?" on his social media (SNS) along with a message.


He said, "Please do not be misled by the article's headline," adding, "Currently, Jeonju is under Level 2 social distancing, and Jeonbuk National University Samsung Culture Hall is a legally registered venue where performances are allowed. We are fully complying with government quarantine guidelines and always responding promptly."


Earlier, Lee Seung-hwan was scheduled to hold the 'Social Distancing Seating Concert - 20th Century Lee Seung-hwan+' at Jeonbuk National University Samsung Culture Hall on the 24th, but he abruptly postponed the concert due to the recent fourth wave of COVID-19.

On the other hand, Na Hoon-a, mentioned in the article attached by Lee Seung-hwan, had to temporarily postpone his concert because it was not scheduled to be held at a registered venue, making it impossible to proceed.


Na Hoon-a was scheduled to hold 'Na Hoon-a AGAIN Tess-hyung - Busan' at the Busan BEXCO Exhibition Center from the 23rd to the 25th. Na Hoon-a's Busan concert had drawn much criticism from netizens as he tried to proceed despite the fourth wave of COVID-19 before government guidelines were issued.


Additionally, from the 16th to the 18th, he held the nationwide tour concert 'Na Hoon-a Again Tess-hyung' at Daegu EXCO, attracting about 22,000 attendees, which also drew sharp criticism from the public.



Following this, comments on the article about Na Hoon-a's concert postponement included protests such as "Lee Seung-hwan is also holding a Jeonju concert; why isn't he fined?" and "Why is there no mention of Lee Seung-hwan's concert?" In response, Lee Seung-hwan personally clarified his position to dispel misunderstandings.
