On July 8, various media outlets reported the possibility of MBC's signature idol variety program 'Idol Star Athletics Championship' taking place this Chuseok without audiences present. 

This year, the Chuseok holiday in Korea falls on October 1, officially marking September 30 through October 2 as designated national holidays.

Regarding plans for the Chuseok edition of the '2020 ISAC', MBC stated, "We are currently looking over various options, including whether or not we can hold the event."
