variety shows that were
scheduled to air on Sunday, April 27
will be replaced with documentaries.
Eleven days after the Sewo l ferry
accident, variety shows are still
placed on hold as Korean television
has been flooded with news reports
regarding the tragedy. According to
the three major broadcasting
stations, Sunday night variety shows
will not broadcast.
In replace of KBS‘ “Happy Sunday,”
documentaries “ A Trip with Scenery ”
and “ Walking through the Earth”
will be broadcasted during the time
slot. Although KBS’ “Superman
Returns” and “ 1 Night, 2 Days ” were
supposed to air from 4PM – 7PM
(KST), it had been decided to halt
the variety shows in light of the
mourning country.
Furthermore, MBC’s “Sunday Sunday
Night” will not broadcast “ Real
Men.” In place of the usual schedule
of “ Daddy, Where Are We Going?
Season 2 ” and “ Real Men ,” the
broadcast station will air a 100
minute highlight special of “ Daddy,
Where Are We Going? ” starting from
6:15 PM (KST).
Although Sundays are the days
which SBS airs its live music show,
“Inkigayo ,” the music show will be
canceled for the day. In addition,
instead of airing its usual “ Good
Sunday” broadcasts such as
“Running Man ,” SBS will instead
show the documentary “The Last
Tundra – Brothers of the Bears”
starting from 5:35 PM (KST).
Afterward at 6:35 PM, a special
episode of “Law of the Jungle -
Friends of the Wild ” will highlight
the different wild animals that were
seen throughout the three years of
filming “Law of the Jungle .”

variety shows, Sunday dramas will
continue to be shown. MBC’s “ Jang
Bori is Here ” and “Hotel King,” KBS’
“Wonderful Days” and “Jung Do
Jun,” and SBS’ “ Glorious Day” and
“Angel Eyes” will continue to
