MBC’s iconic holiday variety show, “Idol star athletics championships”, is taking a break for this year’s Chuseok.
MBC stated to the media on August 14:
“As this year’s Chuseok holiday overlaps with the Asian Games period, it is difficult to schedule the Idol star athletics championships this year.”
The “Idol star athletics championships” (hereinafter “ISAC”) is an iconic holiday variety show in which top domestic idols take on the challenge of various sports disciplines, creating new memorable scenes and discussion topics in each edition.
Having debuted in 2010 with the first “Idol star athletics championships”, the show continued for 15 years until last year, but scheduling unfortunately failed for this year’s Chuseok due to the repercussions of the Asian Games.
Meanwhile, on the occasion of the 15th anniversary, a total of 61 teams and 374 idols participated in the “2025 Chuseok special ISAC”, competing in disciplines such as athletics, ssireum, pistol shooting, penalty shootouts, and dancesport.
