There is a lot of debate online about the Untact performance organized by the National Ballet and KBS.
On the 24th, KBS aired a special program called'We, Again: The Ballet'.
With the aim of delivering healing and comfort to the people who are exhausted from Corona 19, we performed outdoor performances in Sacheon, Gyeongnam, Korea Aerospace Industries, Taepyeong Salt Farm in Sinan, Jeollanam-do, Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju, and Ginkgo Grove in Hongcheon, Gangwon.
In the broadcast, the head of the National Ballet, Kang Soo-jin, explained, "The National Ballet went out of the world to convey the beauty that was not seen properly. We invite you to the Ballet Forest again, dreaming of that day when Korea dances."
However, the reactions of netizens were mixed.
There were some people who responded positively, saying, "The dancers who performed enthusiastically in the cold have a lot of trouble. The swan of the dead is cool" and "I forgot the trouble with the Christmas Eve ballet play", but there were also many cold reviews.
They were neglecting the safety and protection of the dancers.
Netizens said, "Asphalt, salt fields, gravel fields... like watching a video where the dancers are dying to get hurt", "What is this doing outside wearing a tights in sub-zero weather? This is a human rights violation?" "It is really disappointing to the people involved," he poured out criticism.
As the controversy grew, it is known that the National Ballet side explained that although there was a part that was directed for the filming, it considered both the health and safety of the dancers, and that all members who participated in the project agreed to proceed.
