'Idol Star Athletics Championships' to once again return this autumn as a Chuseok special

The huge biannual event, the 'Idol Star Athletics Championship' is reported to be held again this fall! This will be the 'Chuseok' special, also known as the Korean Thanksgiving special.

Reports say the MBC special will reportedly film on August 10 to 11, although the venue has yet to be decided. Popular sports like futsal, track and field, basketball, and more have been included in the past, but it remains to be seen if they'll be adding another sports category to this new autumn event.

Although every year there is talk about long filming conditions and injuries that take place at these events, it can't be doubted that this is one of the most excting gatherings for a music fan with so many idols brought together under one roof. The New Year's special earlier this year recorded 8.5% viewer ratings and placed first in its time slot at the time of airing.
