"Omniscient Intervention Perspective: Special Edition", " Popular Songs ", "Two Days and One Night", "Running Man" and other programs will be suspended. "Running Man" also issued a statement announcing the suspension of broadcasts, "Please understand more."

In addition, many Korean groups are expected to broadcast live and have fun with fans during Halloween, and now almost all celebrations have been cancelled. It is worth noting that due to the impact of the epidemic, the Halloween party of SM company , which was finally held after four years, has been announced to be cancelled. The event is a private Halloween party for artists under SM. Every idol will disguise himself and finally choose who is the most powerful one. It is not only fun for artists, but also quite interesting for fans. I thought I had finally returned from the epidemic, but I didn’t expect such a tragedy to happen in South Korea. Stopping should be a good choice, and fans also expressed their understanding.
