KBS Plans to Suspend Drama Monday - Tuesday Night, Netter Suspicious of Financial Problems - On Friday (2/8) Yesterday, KBS announced that it was currently considering to suspend the drama Monday - Tuesday night. This Announcement Has Reaped Various Reactions From Netizens.
Shocking news came from the South Korean television station KBS. Because on Friday (2/8) yesterday, KBS announced that they were planning to suspend broadcasting drama slots Monday - Tuesday night.
"We are currently reviewing whether it is temporarily necessary to suspend drama slots Monday - Tuesday night," explained the KBS.
Previously on the same day reports were circulating that KBS will no longer air drama Monday - Tuesday night from December 2019 to February 2020. Thus, the drama "Tale of Nok Du", starring Kim So Hyun and Jang Dong Yoon, which will begin airing September will be SBS's last drama in the slot Monday - Tuesday night before 2020.
The last drama to fill the slot aired Monday - Tuesday night KBS was "Perfume" starring Shin Sung Rok. The drama itself ended on July 23.
The drama itself will be replaced with "I Wanna Hear Your Song", starring Kim Sejeong and Yeon Woo Jin. This drama will begin airing on Monday (5/8).
Two other large public TV stations, namely MBC and SBS have made an early decision to suspend drama Monday - Tuesday night. MBC will no longer air drama in this slot after "Welcome 2 Life" which will premiere on Monday (5/8) ends. On the other hand, SBS has also stopped showing the drama Monday - Tuesday after "The Secret Life of My Secretary" finished in June. Instead, SBS aired a new variety show in that time slot.
Knowing this news, netter began to give a variety of comments. Someone regretted this announcement because they liked the KBS Monday-Tuesday night drama.
"Damn, but doesn't this slot have a higher rating? The Wednesday-Thursday drama I've watched has never been better than Monday-Tuesday."
"I don't like it. I guess I'll lose some drama because of this ... It seems that it will make a long winter. I'm an international fan, so watching variety shows is impossible. It's hard to watch various programs when you don't understand what they say. Besides, I don't even watch variety shows in my own country. I hope other networks will provide some concessions. "
"Variety shows incur lower production costs ... I'm very sad, because I like the drama Monday - Tuesday. Now people might adjust their schedules."
Some other netizens are suspicious if currently KBS is experiencing a financial crisis. So this is their attempt to overcome them.
"There is news that KBS has financial problems. So ... the suspension of drama slots is one step to overcome them. It's only for a short time. Besides the money problem, the Monday-Tuesday drama KBS also struggled in terms of rating for some time. I like drama Monday - Tuesday KBS for example 'My Fellow Citizen' and 'Perfume'. But the ratings don't benefit them. "
"KBS has a lot of internal and financial problems. They NEED to cut the budget. Production of drama seems to be an easy step (to overcome it)."
"KBS is struggling financially. Replacing drama with cheap alternatives seems to be the right way for them."
