MBC's "Birth of a Great Star 2" have announced that they'll start airing live episodes on February 10th.

On February 8th, representatives of MBC revealed, "Beginning on the 10th, 'Birth of a Great Star 2' will start its live performances. The competitive rounds with the 12 remaining contestants will air at 9:50 p.m.; it is a special episode that will last 140 minutes."

Currently, the show's production staff as well as MC�Oh Sang Jin are on strike against MBC. Director Lee Minho has stepped in as the producer, and a different MC will fill in for Oh Sang Jin.

This live episode was originally scheduled for the 3rd; however, because of the workers' strike, the show was cancelled. A repeat of "Idol Star Meeting Show Thump Thump Shaking Special" aired in that time slot instead.
