1. [+299, -9] Putting the singers aside, I imagine it'd be really financially difficult for the staff members that work in the event field right now. This isn't a short term issue anymore.
2. [+159, -23] Singers aren't the problem. The cultural arts and tourism industries are both dead. Tour bus companies are dead, motels are dead, restaurants and everything else are dead. Anyone who is complaining about how people should be mourning right now should stop eating and stop going to work and see what happens when all you do is mourn.
3. [+59, -3] I don't know about the singers but it's pretty bad for the staff. There's a time and place for mourning but losses are being made right now. I understand that something tragic and upsetting happened in our country but we cannot be sad to the point where we completely stop our lives entirely. The living must live. There are many difficult lives out there...
4. [+13, -3] Staff in this industry are definitely going through financial hardships because of this but it's not only them but other industries as well. April~May is school trip season but because of the accident, schools all over the nation have canceled their school trips which is affecting every industry involved.
5. [+9, -1] My dongseng works part time setting up event venues and all of his work's been canceled. The poor are getting poorer.
6. [+8, -1] Celebrities make a lot so I'm not worried about them resting a quarter but I am worried about people in related fields where their lives depend on this income.
