The broadcaster was hit by a direct hit by a coronavirus infection -19 (COVID-19). Most dramas and entertainment have decided to stop filming for the time being to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
sbs said on the 24th that the shooting of the entertainment programs Running Man' and 'Death and Deacon' was canceled this week. In addition, sbs said, "The next week is scheduled to be filmed, but I think we should watch the situation."
Especially, on the 25th, the next day, the aftermath is expected to be more serious as the COVID-19 confirmed person occurs at the sbs Mokdong building.
In addition, TVN said, "We will stop shooting 'Seoul Village Nom' from 24th to 31st." KBS also temporarily canceled filming '1 night and 2 days season 4'.
MBC has not changed yet, but it is said that it is continuing internal discussions on whether to shoot.
The entertainment industry is not the only one that has suffered damage. Most dramas have also been pushed by the first broadcast Ilja Gort, or the filming itself has been canceled. Initially, KBS2's new Wednesday-Thursday evening drama 'Dodo Solar Sol' was scheduled to be broadcast on the 26th, but actor Huh Dong-won was confirmed to have been confirmed by COVID-19 and decided to postpone his first broadcast.
Likewise, JTBC's new monthly drama '18 Again', which is scheduled to be broadcasted on September 7, temporarily stopped shooting to prepare for the spread of the unknown. "The first broadcast date was originally scheduled for September 7, but the first broadcast Ilja Gort seems to have to watch the situation more," an official of "18 Again" said.
In addition to '18 Again', JTBC dramas such as 'Private Life', 'Watch Number' and 'Run On' have stopped shooting at the same time.
In addition, tvN Wednesday-Thursday evening drama 'Flower of Evil' temporarily canceled the filming and decided to organize a special broadcast on September 3. CJ ENM said in an official position, "We decided to stop TVN and OCN drama production from 24th to 31st for the safety of the cast and production team in consultation with the production company Studio Dragon."
As the filming of many dramas and entertainments is canceled or postponed in succession, the concern of viewers about 'Domino' is also increasing. The number of confirmed COVID-19 is increasing day by day, and the frequency of the program will increase. It is noteworthy whether the broadcaster, who has passed the crisis once with the introduction of the untapped stage, will be able to cope with sudden changes again.
