The upcoming Chuseok holidays special '2019 Idol Star Athletics Championship' will be bringing viewers 7 exciting, official sports categories!

On August 8, MBC announced all 7 of the main sports categories that this year's idol competitors will take part in, including the 'ISAC's three classic categories - track and field, archery, and the free kick shootout. All new categories this year include horseback riding, e-sports, wrestling, and baseball pitch throwing. 

In light of 'ISAC's 10th anniversary celebration this year, the event will also be inviting some of Korea's top sports stars as coaches, including Lee Tae Hyun, Jung Min Chul, Lee Sang Hoon, Park Jae Hong, Bong Joong Geun, and Kim Byung Ji.
