MBC’s “Idol Star Athletics Championships” (ISAC) is making a highly-anticipated comeback!
On June 20, it was reported that “Idol Star Athletics Championships” will return this year for the Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) holiday, with filming scheduled for early August. The report further stated that this year’s ISAC will feature a variety of sports, including futsal, golf, and relay races.
In response to the report, MBC confirmed, “It is true that ISAC will return for this year’s Chuseok, with recording scheduled for August.”
After its launch as a Chuseok special in 2010, the “Idol Star Athletics Championships” typically aired twice a year—once during the Lunar New Year holiday in the winter and once during the Chuseok holiday in the fall. However, the program took a three-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic before finally returning for the 2022 Chuseok special.
This will mark ISAC’s return after two years since the 2022 Chuseok special.
Are you excited to see ISAC return to air? Stay tuned for further updates!
