The K-pop festival was canceled...It's not a complete cancellation. Why is it a substitute for recording

According to MBC's schedule, MBC's special feature film 'MBC News Desk' at 7:40 p.m. on the 31st, MBC's special feature film 'Rebound' and 11:15 p.m. 'Han Kang's Coming' will be broadcast. At 00:25 a.m. on January 1, 2025, after the new year, 'Encore Special Documentary-Our Tutti' will follow.
Originally, MBC's year-end song festival '2024 MBC Song Festival' was scheduled to air from 8:40 p.m. on the 31st to 1 a.m. the next day. However, due to the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster on the 29th, 'Song Festival' will not be broadcast on the same day.
However, it will be replaced with 'Recording Broadcast' instead of 'Full Cancel'. In fact, the Song Festival has already prepared several stages for pre-recording in Mapo Sangam in Seoul and Ilsan in Gyeonggi-do. The stage recording, which was originally scheduled, is expected to continue without much change.
No specific broadcast date or date has been set for this recording. As the national mourning period is set until January 4th next year, there is a strong possibility that it will be broadcasted after this.
It was originally broadcast live on December 31 every year from 2005 when the name 'Song Festival' began to last year. However, due to the unprecedented Jeju Air plane disaster, 'Song Festival' will be broadcasted over the year for the first time in about 20 years.
In addition, it was the only broadcast recorded next year among the three terrestrial music festivals. Earlier, KBS recorded at Japan's Mizuho Paypay Dome Fukuoka from the 14th to the 15th, and broadcasted '2024 KBS Song Festival Global Festival' live at KINTEX in Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do on the 20th, and SBS held '2024 SBS Song Festival' at Inspire Arena in Incheon on the 25th.

MBC also continued to agonize over this. Rumor has it that it was not an event that required the presentation of a winner or a prize winner by recognizing contributions to certain categories like the awards ceremony. But the problem is the stars and staff who have been preparing for the event. Since wages are processed only when the recording is broadcast, many people have no choice but to consider that it is a 'livelihood'.
Many singers also struggled with the difficulty of meeting the schedule. In particular, this year's 'Song Festival' has prepared several collaborative stages. Taemin-en-Hyphen Nikki, NCT Mark-Lee Young-ji, ITZY Yuna-Espa Karina-Nmix Seol Yoon, BoyNext Door-Zero Base One, Lee Eun-ji, Oh My Girl Mimi-Lee Young-ji, and Ive Ahn Yu-jin were all-time collaboration stages that can only be seen at the Song Festival.
In addition, the schedule of many fans entering each recording stage must be calculated. Each recording per stage, hundreds of fans enter the audience, which has been announced by each singer's agency for a few days and set up with fans.
On top of that, it is interpreted that the complete cancellation was inevitable, as it is the last progress of Lim Yoon-ah, who has been the master of the 'Song Festival' for 10 years.

We express our deepest condolences to the victims and bereaved families of yesterday's plane crash. The decision was made in the hope of paying tribute to the victims and sharing the pain of the bereaved families"I pray for the souls of the victims, and once again express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families."
At 9 a.m. on the 29th, Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 from Bangkok, Thailand, caused an accident while attempting to land on the runway of Muan International Airport. The plane was halved when it collided with facilities around the runway, and was engulfed in flames, killing 179 of the 181 passengers. The government designated seven days as the national mourning period until January 4 next year.
