Filming for MBC's 2017 Idol Star Athletics Championships has been cancelled due to the current strike being held by union members of public broadcasters KBS and MBC.
The company-wide strike is calling for the resignation of MBC president Kim Jang Gyum. “Infinite Challenge” and “I Live Alone” will be temporarily off air. The 2017 DMC Festival has also been canceled, and filming for MBC’s upcoming drama “20th Century Boy and Girl” has been put on hold. Furthemore, “Music Core” has been confirmed to temporarily be off air as well.
For those interested, you can read this post & this twitter thread to learn more on what the strike is about:
For those who don't know about this strike, I'll do a brief explanation on what this strike is and why it's important.

Date: 2017-09-04 11:11 am (UTC)One news outlet reported that filming for the “2017 Idol Star Athletics Championships” was completely canceled, and that MBC was going to announce whether or not the cast appearances for the show were canceled as well. However, MBC’s sources stated that only the scheduled recording was canceled, and that the program itself was only tentatively postponed.
just... cancel it already.

Date: 2017-09-04 05:16 pm (UTC)I'm not going to cry over ISAC being cancelled lol, I'm actually hoping for it. With music core stopping for a while, it can definitively happen to ISAC as well despite whatever they're saying

I support this strike, it's very much for a good cause, but my selfish side hates to see shows impacted. Here's hoping the strike doesn't last too long and that the strikers get what they want.
