South Korean TV Takes a Sudden Coffee Break: Plane Crash Shakes Up Programming

Buy Me A Coffee

South Korean TV shows are pulling a vanishing act tonight, and it’s not because the writers went on strike for better snack options. The nation is reeling from a tragic plane crash at Muan International Airport in South Jeolla, South Korea, on Sunday (December 29), and the airwaves are taking a timeout.

Jeju Air flight 7C 2216, which started as a routine trip from Bangkok, carried 175 passengers, six crew members, and presumably a few overly optimistic travel pillows. Sadly, the flight ended in heartbreak, with only two crew members surviving out of the 181 people onboard. This devastating crash now holds the grim title of South Korea’s deadliest aviation disaster in nearly 30 years.

Award Show Hits the Brakes
The 2024 MBC Entertainment Awards, a glitzy evening of trophies, tears, and questionable dance routines, was set to air at 8:30 p.m. local time. But MBC said, “Not tonight,” deciding to postpone the event out of respect. It seems even the entertainment world needs a breather during such a tragedy.

Masked Singers Stay Masked
Fans of The King of Mask Singer will also have to wait a bit longer to see which celebrity awkwardly belts out “Bohemian Rhapsody” under a giant pineapple costume. MBC had already shelved the show for the night to focus on news coverage.

Sunday Funday? Not This Week
Over at KBS, the Sunday variety lineup took an unscheduled nap. Shows like 2 Days & 1 Night Season 4, Gag Concert, and Boss in the Mirror were all benched, proving that even comedy needs a moment of silence sometimes.

Sending Our Thoughts
While the programming shift may leave TV viewers scratching their heads and reaching for the remote, it’s a poignant reminder of the magnitude of this tragedy. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this horrific event, and we hope for strength and healing during this incredibly difficult time.
