On November 29, South Korean male star Jung Yu-sung was diagnosed with new crown. According to Korean media, Zheng Yusheng was filming an advertisement with Li Bingxian and Cao Chengyou on the same day. After learning of the results of the examination, he immediately interrupted the shooting, and he himself is currently in home isolation and is in good condition. Other staff members also immediately underwent nucleic acid testing, the results of which have not yet been made public.
After this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of netizens, because Zheng Yusheng had just attended the 42nd Green Dragon Award Ceremony on November 26, and he also presented awards to the award-winning actors on the stage with Lee Jeong-jae as the award guest.
The Blue Dragon Award is the second largest award ceremony in South Korea, and its status in South Korea is second only to the Daejong Award, so this award ceremony has also attracted many well-known Korean directors, actors and related people. For example, Song Joong-ki, Lee Kwang-so, Lin Yun'er, Zhao Yincheng, Zheng Xiujing, etc., who are familiar to Chinese audiences, all attended the award ceremony.
When Zheng Yusheng was diagnosed with the new crown, people could not help but worry about these stars who attended the award ceremony with him. At the award ceremony, they did not wear masks, but only sat at intervals, so the possibility of infection was extremely high.
It is worth mentioning that Lee Jung-jae, who presented the award with Zheng Yusheng, was nominated for the Gotham Award for "Best New Drama Actor" for "Squid Game", and after attending the Awards ceremony with Zheng Yusheng, he has flown to the United States on November 27 to participate in the Gotham Independent Film Awards ceremony and other activities.
Although Lee Jung-jae's test results are still negative, this does not guarantee that he will be fine. If he is actually diagnosed, then the Gotham Prize is also in danger.
Since November 1, South Korea has implemented a "coexistence with COVID-19" policy. The policy stipulates that entertainment venues can enter as long as they show a vaccination certificate or a negative test report.
Since then, there have been news of South Korean celebrities being diagnosed. First the actors Ren Changding and Yi Zhiyuan, then the super junior prodigy and black pink Lisa, and now it is Zheng Yusheng, and the variety show "Extreme Debut Wild Idol" starring Kim Jong-kook has five contestants and two staff members confirmed.
It should be noted that almost all of these confirmed stars have been vaccinated with two vaccines but are still infected. It can be seen that south Korea's epidemic prevention measures have no effect.
At this time last year, although the award ceremonies in South Korea were postponed, they were also held perfectly in the end, but compared with now, the epidemic prevention measures at that time were better. Both the awardees and the entertainers attending the ceremony will wear masks. If the Green Dragon Award had also been carried out in accordance with last year's requirements, it would not have caused panic among the people.
It is certain that this is just the beginning, near the end of the year, the award ceremonies of major television stations will be held one after another, which means that the Korean entertainment industry will face a bigger test, a careless, I am afraid that the Korean entertainment industry will be "the whole pot" end.
