Actor Ha Jung-woo could not attend the event for the movie 'Lobby' due to health issues.
SHOWBOX announced on the 25th, "Today, I had to undergo emergency surgery for acute appendicitis while on my way to attend an official schedule."
SHOWBOX noted, "Director and actor Ha Jung-woo was willing to attend the event, but he was unable to do so due to the doctor's opinion that the situation was difficult. Therefore, he will not participate in today's press preview, briefing, stage greeting, and empathy counseling event for the movie 'Lobby,' which was scheduled to take place." Acute appendicitis is commonly referred to as appendicitis.
Ha Jung-woo was scheduled to attend the press preview for the movie 'Lobby' as a director and actor at 2 p.m. in Yongsan District, Seoul, on that day.

Alongside Ha Jung-woo, actors such as Park Byeong-eun, Kim Eui-sung, Lee Dong-hwi, Kang Hae-rim, Kang Mal-geum, Park Hae-soo, and Kwak Sun-young appear in the film.
