The cause was due to the current political situation. Previously, it was reported that on Tuesday, December 3, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law” via a televised briefing, promising to “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.” He accused the opposition of “controlling the parliament,” “sympathizing” with North Korea and immobilizing the government through anti-state actions.
The National Assembly quickly demanded the President’s emergency martial law to be lifted. All 190 attending members (out of 300) voted unanimously to block the martial law.
While the martial law was lifted, South Korea has been preparing to potentially impeach President Yoon. The vote was expected to take place on Saturday, December 7, which is when Marry You Episode 7 was originally scheduled to broadcast. Since Channel A broadcasted a news report, the episode was postponed.

Now, the National Assembly is scheduled to hold another impeachment vote on President Yoon at 5 PM on Saturday, December 14. The initial impeachment vote was held once on December 7. It was ultimately scrapped due to a “lack of quorum.”
