Netflix "Trigger" abruptly cancels fan event live stream
The side of the Netflix series "Trigger" suddenly canceled the scheduled fan event live stream.
On the 21st, Naver announced through its official channel, "This live stream has been canceled at the request of the organizer." It added, "We ask for the understanding of everyone who has been waiting, and we thank you for your generous understanding."
Initially, Naver TV and Chijijik were to exclusively live stream the TALK&SHOT fan event for the new Netflix release "Trigger" on the afternoon of the 22nd, with main actors Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang expected to attend, drawing much anticipation from fans. However, the schedule was abruptly canceled at the request of the organizer.
The specific reason for the event cancellation has not been officially revealed. However, some believe it could be linked to the recent gun murder incident in Songdo, Incheon, which occurred in reality.
The incident took place on the 20th in Songdo, Incheon. A man in his 60s, referred to as A, shot his son B, in his 30s with a homemade shotgun equipped with lead pellets during his birthday party, and B was transported to the hospital in cardiac arrest but ultimately died. A, who had fled the scene, was arrested by police around 12:20 a.m. on the 21st, about three hours after the incident. He is reported to have stated during the investigation, "It was because of family discord."
The Netflix series "Trigger" is an action thriller that depicts the story of two men with different backgrounds who come to wield guns against the backdrop of illegal firearms spreading and gun incidents occurring in Korea, called a "gun-free country." Concerns are growing that the drama's concept involving firearms may inadvertently coincide with the tragic events in reality, potentially causing "secondary harm" or "emotional conflict." It is assumed that the production company canceled the event in consideration of this sensitive atmosphere.
