On July 8, reports stated this year's '2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships' Chuseok special will be held without an audience because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans of the idol stars then spoke up, criticizing the filming as idol groups would have to compete against each other in an indoor stadium.

A source from MBC has now clarified, "It's still under discussion whether or not the program will take place and how it will be filmed."

Stay tuned for updates on the '2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships'.

    I never watched Idol Star Athletics Championships except for the fancams of the idols interacting/mingling off-cam. Maybe they should do an Idol Star Gaming Championship from their own company studios instead. Social distancing style.

    Having all those idols from different companies gathered in an arena is basically creating a mass spread event.
