That's the pop-up from the official site, and there's a notice that reads:
안녕하세요. 서울세계불꽃축제 운영 사무국입니다.
2009년 9월 26일(토)에 개최 예정이었던 서울세계불꽃축제가 최근 신종 플루의 급속한
확산으로 인한 감염 우려 및 정부의 대규모 지역 행사 취소 검토지침에 따라 불가피하게
전면 취소됨을 알려드립니다.
모든 준비가 마무리 되는 시점에서 부득이하게 행사가 취소되어 안타깝기 그지 없습니다.
그 동안 큰 관심을 갖고 호응해 주신 여러분께 깊은 이해를 부탁 드리며,
내년에는 보다 더 큰 감동을 드리기 위해 최선의 노력을 하겠습니다.
감사합니다.
Norepeat left his comment on the 9th, and that notice is from the 11th, yet there hasn't been any news of the cancellation of the "international" event in English yet. The reason I bring it up here is because Jason of kimchi-icecream, who has two recent posts on visits to nearby Han River Park here and here, was on Facebook talking about going to it. There isn't any information on the KTO page on the festival, nor is there any word in English on that site about any of the festival cancellations yet.

this is getting nuts, has there been any other country with such large scale cancellations as this over this bug?
Koreans over react to everything.
Disappointed about the Lantern Festival, but this...this is just too much. Worst. Autumn. Ever.
Pusan International Film Festival is coming. October 8th to 16th. This is one of the biggest yearly international events in Korea. There has been no notice about cancellation. It will be interesting to see what happens.
