"Return: The Promise of the Day" is slated to run from June 4 to July 12 at the Olympic Park’s Woori Art Hall in Seoul.

According to the ticket site, "Return: The Promise of the Day" will be following social distancing protocols in order to ensure the audience’s safety and to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
