This year’s MAMA Awards is set to take place over two days, the 28th and 29th, at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, which is said to be located about 20 km from the fire site.Although the atmosphere is far from suitable for hosting a global K-pop festival, as the event is scheduled for the next day, discussions on whether to cancel it have reportedly not yet taken place.However, appearances by local actors such as Michelle Yeoh are said to be realistically impossible, and major changes to the show’s production are considered unavoidable.The production team is currently said to be urgently revising the script and reorganizing the show to incorporate messages of consolation and condolences for the victims. It is also rumored that there are ongoing discussions about whether performances involving fire effects should proceed as planned, given the extremely tight timeline.According to Reuters and Hong Kong’s Sing Tao Daily, a fire broke out at 2:52 p.m. on the 26th at Wong Fuk Court, a high-rise residential apartment complex in the Tai Po district of northern Hong Kong. As of early morning on the 27th, at least 36 people—including firefighters—were confirmed dead, and 279 remain missing.
