Normalization of Entertainment - Will They Air On The 30th?

The 3 main broadcasting networks in Korea are expected to normalize their entertainment schedules on the 30th.

SBS, MBC, and KBS are currently airing miniseries and dramas as normal, but as for now, the only entertainment programs that are airing are those with contents that are not provocative. It's highly likely that entertainment programs will begin to normalize this week, and it looks like the 30th will be that day.

MBC's "Radio Star," KBS 2TV's "Romance 30 Days," and SBS' "Oh My Baby" are scheduled to air on the 30th. Since MBC doesn't normally air entertainment programs on Mondays or Tuesdays, it looks like the 3 main broadcasting networks decided on Wednesday as the first day to air such shows. If they then decide to open the doors for entertainment programs on Wednesday, then the other programs will normalize automatically.

"Radio Star" features MC Kim Gu Ra, Yoon Jong Shin, Kim Gook Jin, and Super Junior Kyuhyun's strong sense of conversation wit, and is considered to have an intense level of expression. If this show is able to air as normal, then other entertainment programs will be affected greatly in resuming broadcast.

Regarding normalization of entertainment programs, SBS, KBS, and MBC reps have said, "Although the schedule shows these programs to air, it's very flexible. Since the final result will change depending on the situation, it's difficult to say that these shows are confirmed to air." But it looks like they're leaning more towards airing the shows as planned.

On the 28th instead of airing the usual episode of "Healing Camp," the writer decided to edit the show into a special broadcast. On the other hand, KBS 2TV aired "Hello Counselor" as normal.

However, music programs and comedy programs will take longer to normalize. SBS' "Inkigayo," KBS 2TV's "Music Bank," MBC's "Show! Music Core," KBS 2TV's "Gag Concert," and others have cancelled filming for 3 weeks now, and are still offering their condolences and joining the country in mourning.
