Halloween party in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea, Saturday (29/10/2022) night turned into a tragedy. About 149 people died after being trapped and crammed into such a large crowd.

Due to grief, the weekly music program SBS Inkigayo decided to cancel its broadcast today, Sunday (10/30/2022). The production party also asked for the understanding of the fans.

"Today, October 30, Inkigayo episode 1160 will not be broadcast. We inform you that today's pre-recording and fan reception in the live broadcast have also been cancelled," said the production team, quoted by Soompi.
