They continued, "Tickets purchased will be fully refunded without any fees through the ticketing agencies. Please note that depending on the purchase method, it may take about 5 to 7 business days for the refund process," and added, "We hope that no further damage occurs, and we sincerely pray for the swift recovery of the wildfire-affected areas and the safety of everyone."

Meanwhile, festivals in Ulsan, Gyeongnam, and Gyeongbuk, where wildfire damage has been severe, have announced consecutive cancellations and postponements. March and April have traditionally been periods when local governments in the Yeongnam region put significant effort into revitalizing tourism through spring flower festivals. However, this year, it is expected that these festivals will not be fully enjoyed due to the wildfires. Nevertheless, since local festivals are conducted as part of efforts to prevent regional neglect and extinction, it appears that postponement or downsizing was chosen over cancellation.

Changnyeong-gun in Gyeongnam, where four people including wildfire firefighters and public officials lost their lives, postponed the 'Bugok Oncheon Festival' originally scheduled for the 28th to the 30th to the new dates of May 25 to 27. Ulsan Ulju-gun decided to hold a scaled-down version of the '6th Ulju Jakcheonjeong Cherry Blossom Festival,' which was planned to be held from the 29th to the 6th of next month, due to the large wildfires in Onyang and Eonyang.

Hadong-gun in Gyeongnam completely canceled the '27th Hwagae Market Cherry Blossom Festival,' which was scheduled for the 28th to the 30th, and Changwon City in Gyeongnam also canceled all fireworks shows for the '63rd Jinhae Gunhangje Festival,' held from the 29th to the 6th of next month. It was decided that holding events involving 'fireworks' would be difficult while wildfire damage has not yet been resolved.
