Due to the upcoming National Assembly Elections in South Korea on April 11th, two of the three major television broadcasters will be making changes to their regular programming.
The broadcasters will be providing live coverage of the elections throughout the day. The results of the elections are very important in terms of South Korea's presidential elections on December 19th.
The following are the changes to prime-time programming on April 11th:
MBC
Episode 7 of MBC's 'King 2 Hearts' drama will be shifted to April 12th. This will mean back-to-back episodes (Episode 7 + 8) on the same day. As a result, 'Joo Byeong Jin Talk Concert' on April 12th will be pre-empted. 'Radio Star', which did not air a new episode last week due to the labor union strike, will continue to be pre-empted this week. A special 100-minute election recap will be aired in its place.
SBS
Episode 7 of SBS's 'Rooftop Prince' drama will be shifted to April 12th. Back-to-back episodes (Episode 7 + 8) will air on April 12th. All variety programs on April 11th will be pre-empted. Because of 'Rooftop Prince', SBS variety program 'Star Couple Show' will be pre-empted this week.
KBS
KBS has 2 channels, 1TV and 2TV, and with 1TV airing coverage of the elections, there will be no interruption to regular programming on 2TV. All variety programs and dramas on 2TV will air as normal.
