KBS will cancel major entertainment programs during the national mourning period of the Jeju Air plane disaster and organize alternative programs with special broadcasts such as liberal arts and documentaries.
In the case of KBS1, the representative cultural program 'Morning Madang' will continue to be canceled this week. The longevity program 'National Singing Contest' was also canceled this week following last week in consideration of public sentiment over the massive disaster. Instead of being canceled, the atmosphere of remembrance will continue through alternative programs.
KBS2's on-site public recording of the program has been postponed due to the cancellation of 'The Seasons-Lee Young-ji's Rainbow' and 'Gag Concert' this week. KBS said it will seek understanding from the winners of the audience through separate guidance and try to minimize inconvenience. 'Music Bank', 'New Release Pyeon Restaurant', 'I am a singer in Germany' and 'Immortal Masterpiece' are also taking a break this week to mourn the national disaster.
Earlier, KBS decided to produce the KBS Acting Awards scheduled for the 31st as a recorded broadcast instead of a live broadcast and later organize it, and canceled the '2025 Countdown Show LIGHT NOW' event in front of Shinsegae Department Store in Myeong-dong, Seoul on the same day.
Meanwhile, current affairs documentary programs such as 「Tracking 60 Minutes" and"More' and"Current Planning Chang' will cover and broadcast the Jeju Air plane disaster urgently, respectively.
