[The Korea Herald] ‘Mr. Trot’ Seoul concert to start Aug.7 with restrictions

The “Mr. Trot” Seoul concert, featuring top contestants from TV Chosun’s record-breaking program, has been rescheduled to Aug. 7 to 23, after the local government relaxed regulations on large-scale concerts Friday.

The concert has been delayed four times due to the spread of COVID-19 and restrictions made by the Songpa-gu Office, which oversees Olympic Gymnastics Arena where the concert is scheduled to take place.

Show Play, the concert organizer, announced that the audience will be seated with two empty seats between each person instead of one in order to meet Songpa-gu Office's new regulations. The move reduces the total number of people in the audience in the 15,000-seat Olympic Gymnastics Arena yet again. The show was previously scheduled to have 5,200 people in attendance.

New tickets will be available only to people who hold tickets for the shows that were delayed and those with previous tickets who failed to get the new tickets will be unable to attend, despite having waited for five months.

In addition, concerts times have been rescheduled in order to minimize contact between members of the audience and to give enough time to sanitize the arena in between concerts. Singing along, eating and coming to the concert in large groups by chartered buses, among others, are forbidden, according to Show Play.

The Seoul concert will kick off a nationwide tour.

[Korea Joongang Daily] "Mr. Trot" concert finally set to go ahead

The cast from cable channel TV Chosun’s hit trot competition program “Mr. Trot” will finally be able to meet fans today as part of its Seoul concert tour, which had been postponed four times due to Covid-19.  

Showplay, the concert tour production company, announced that the first concert is to take place at the KSPO Dome in Songpa District, southern Seoul today. The tour will be held every Friday to Sunday for three weeks until Aug. 23. A total of 15 concerts will be held in Seoul.  
 
The concert tour, originally scheduled to start in April, was continuously pushed back due to the coronavirus and was rescheduled to start in July 24 while sticking to governmental guidelines of social distancing. However, the concert was delayed for the fourth time when the district banned public gatherings with more than 5,000 people.  
 
Showplay took the matter to the court to suspend the district’s decision last month.  
 
However, the issue was resolved when the district allowed the concert to be hosted under the condition that Showplay follows the disinfection guidelines set by the district.  
 
On the ground floor, the audience will be seated one seat apart from each other, and two seats apart on the first and second floors. This means the arena, which has a capacity of 15,000, will have less than 5,000 audience members. 
 
The district also banned distribution of products, chanting slogans and standing up from one’s seat.  
 
The "Mr. Trot” concert is the first large-scale concert tour to be hosted in Korea since the Covid-19 outbreak.
