According to a report from Kmib on October 2, the "Korea Vape Show 2024" scheduled to take place at the end of this month has been postponed once again due to concerns that it may promote smoking.
Officials from the National No Smoking Support Center of the Korea Health Promotion Development Institute announced on the 2nd that the "KOVAS 2024" event, originally scheduled to take place at The-K Hotel outdoor plaza in Seocho-gu, Seoul from the 25th to the 27th of this month, will be postponed.
According to officials from the National Center for Tobacco Control,
In response to quick reactions from the government and anti-smoking organizations, as well as pressure from youth groups and the media, the organizers seem to have made a decision to postpone.
He revealed that the organizers, The Fairs Company, have stated that they will not hold the event at the hotel, but they will seek compensation for the losses incurred due to the unilateral cancellation of the rental agreement. This has put significant pressure on the hotel.
The individual added that,
The event has not been completely cancelled, but has been postponed temporarily. Therefore, the organizers may seek out a different location to reschedule the event within the year, and we will continue to monitor the situation.
The organizers had planned to hold the same event at Suwon Messe in Gyeonggi Province in May of this year, but it was postponed due to resistance.
