Miss Trot 4 TOP7 plays Jeju Province as staff sail home at 3 a.m.
Miss Trot 4 TOP7 completed two Jeju Province performance sessions for 3,000 fans before wind-hit flight cancellations forced staff onto a Mokpo ferry.
Miss Trot 4 TOP7 Jeju performance presented to 3,000 spectators
On July 11, the Miss Trot 4 TOP7 Jeju performance was held at the Tamra Hall of the Jeju International Convention Center (ICC Jeju). Held with approximately 3,000 spectators in attendance, the performance concluded successfully across two sessions.
The Jeju performance was a schedule that required a decisive decision in terms of profitability, as production costs were high due to the logistics of transporting stage equipment, sound, and lighting systems from the mainland, as well as airfare and accommodation for the cast and staff. The production company Showdang ENT collaborated with the Jeju performance organizer, Janggun Planning, to prioritize meeting local fans during this tour.
During the performance, cast member Yoon Tae-hwa led the atmosphere by performing an acrostic poem using the word 'Jeju.' In response to the audience shouting 'Je,' Yoon Tae-hwa sang, "The blue night of Jeju~ under those stars~ everyone we met at the Jeju concert, just for today!!" When the audience shouted 'Ju,' she responded, "Don't hesitate and enjoy with us~ Make some noise!!" to encourage engagement.
Flight cancellations due to strong winds; staff return to Seoul via passenger ship
On July 12, the day after the performance, sudden strong winds swept through the Jeju region, causing a series of flight cancellations at Jeju International Airport. This created a situation where the cast and staff, who had schedules in Seoul ahead of them, were left anxious at the airport.
After managers worked to secure tickets by visiting airport counters, most of the cast members were able to return to Seoul. However, some staff members who found it difficult to board a plane boarded a passenger ship heading from Jeju to Mokpo.
After traveling for more than four hours to Mokpo, they headed to Seoul using a chartered bus prepared by the agency. In this process, some members completed their grueling journey by arriving in Seoul only at 3:00 AM.
