The Itaewon Halloween tragedy killed at least 156 people. After the incident, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol set a period of mourning until November 5, 2022. The decision made a number of TV shows, comebacks, and concerts postponed or cancelled. One of them is the Korean drama The Fabulous which is scheduled to air on Netflix on November 4, 2022.
Quoted from Naver, the decision to postpone The Fabulous was not only due to the imposition of a period of mourning. That's also because there are scenes that are considered sensitive about Halloween parties. In a trailer released on October 28, 2022, The Fabulous shows an image of the Halloween festival showing the cast wearing various outfits.
Even though the scene looks small, the moment seems to have a big influence on the storyline. The festival scene in Halloween is not only inserted as a spectacle. The scene is also the door to all kinds of emotions needed to understand the development of the drama. Cutting the scene completely is not as easy as it seems because it can disrupt the storyline.
So, the best decision taken by Netflix is to postpone the broadcast of The Fabulous until an undetermined time. The Fabulous is a Korean drama that tells the story of four friends who chase dreams in the competitive world of fashion. The four of them try to chase their dreams while balancing demanding jobs, love dilemmas, and wild nights on the town.
The Fabulous stars a number of young actors such as SHINee's Choi Min Ho, Chae Soo Bin, Lee Sang Un, to Park Hee Jung. This drama aired for 8 episodes. This drama is directed by Kim Jung Hyun, who previously had success through Gentleman's Dignity to A Korean Odyssey. The script for The Fabulous was written by Kim Ji Hee and Im Jin Sun.
