The surge of cases for COVID 19 in South Korea is now in an uncontrollable state. The unprecedented spread somehow has led to growing social concerns.

With this, several artists have canceled their plans for in-person concerts at the end of the year. This aims to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the artists and fans.

Music Works Cancel's Baek Ji Young's Activities

Recently, Baek Ji Young planned for a national tour of concerts in Busan, Gwangju, Seoul, Seongnam, and Ilsan. However, due to the growing number of coronavirus cases in the country, she has canceled her plans.

As divulged by her agency, the concerts were always going to be held according to strict guidelines about infection transmission and with tight social distancing restrictions in place. However, due to the community's increase in the region, the agency decided it would be safest to cancel the concert.

Furthermore, C-JeS Entertainment announced on December 7 that Gummy, Noel, and EXID's Solji had all canceled their concerts scheduled to take place throughout South Korea.
