You settle in on Saturday evening, snacks ready, and your favourite show isn’t on. Before you blame your TV, know that it isn’t a glitch. It is a scheduled break.

If you follow [Korean TV updates](https://technosports.co.in/), here is exactly what’s missing from tonight’s lineup and why.

### Why Are These Shows Off the Air?

As the Asian Games winds to a close this weekend, Korean broadcasters are making room for sports coverage. MBC’s *Music Core*, which is already on hiatus, will not air as usual on October 3 for that reason. Three other popular shows are also taking the night off.

### Korean Shows: Overview

| Show | Network | Status on October 3 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Music Core** | MBC | Not airing (continuing hiatus) |
| **How Do You Play?** | MBC | Not airing |
| **Immortal Songs** | KBS 2TV | Not airing |
| **Love on the Menu** | KBS 2TV | Not airing |

### What This Means for Viewers?

It is a one-night pause, not a cancellation. Special sports coverage regularly takes over the schedule during major events, and regular programming typically returns afterwards. For *Music Core*, which is already in the middle of a hiatus, fans will have to wait a little longer for the next stage.

Here is what you can do tonight:

- **Catch up on Love on the Menu.** Full episodes with subtitles are available on Viki.
- **Watch the Asian Games.** The sports coverage is the reason for the schedule change.
- **Revisit older stages and episodes** from your favourite shows.

### A Small Silver Lining?

Hiatus weekends give fans a breather. If you have been behind on a drama or variety show, this is a good chance to catch up without worrying about missing a live broadcast.
