Many people in South Korea and around the world are continuing to grieve for the victims of the Sewol Ferry tragedy last week. As news coverage of the incident maintains priority on TV stations across Korea, the entertainment has done its part to keep the airwaves free and clear for any breaking news. This week, all KBS variety shows will remain preempted.

The shows that will be affected are Hello Counselor which are shown every late at night Mondays and Our Neighborhood Arts and Education on Tuesdays.

Other shows that will be affected this week and possibly the weekend are Immortal Song 2, 1 Night 2 Days, Superman is Back, Gag Concert, Happy Together, and more.

1 Night 2 Days is a reality and variety show. The cast members are Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Jong Min, Kim Joo Hyuk, Kim Jun Ho, Defconn, and Jung Joon Young. The show is aired to recommend places for people when they travel to South Korea.

Gag Concert is a sketch comedy television show. Since all of these shows make people laugh, they will not be shown due to the sadness that is happening right now.

With the incident of the ferry being broadcasted 24/7 in South Korea, the entertainment industry has halted music shows, promotions, and fan signing events. Including this, the people going to the cinemas dropped as well. People are mourning as news keeps coming about the passengers hoping to hear good news; rather than bad about their loved one.
