SBS and MBC to postpone schedules, Music Bank cancelled
And just like the beginning of this month, SBS will be canceling some shows for this weekend again.
The South Korean naval ship, Cheonan had broken into 2 parts late last month while on a routine patrol near North Korean waters due to an unexplained explosion.
Although fifth-eight managed to be rescued, the other 46 sailors were trapped in the ship’s stern. The salvage operation which had been put off for days due to bad weather and choppy seas was carried out today to lift the stern from the ocean’s bed and several bodies were spotted by news crews filming the scene from a distance.
In view of the situation, SBS has decided to postpone the airing of Star King, Inkigayo and Good Sunday (Family Outing 2, Gold Miss) for this weekend.
KBS and MBC are expected to do the same shortly afterwards.
Music Bank’s Go Won Seok PD said on the 15th, “Music Bank is officially canceled this week. We can’t air for many reasons at the moment. We are regretful. We hope that everything will be cleared up soon.”
He tweeted a little while after, “This week, Lee Hyori and Rain were supposed to have their comeback stages together. I’m sure you’re sad that the show has been canceled. But next week, Lee Hyori, Rain and 2PM will make comeback stages. Of course, that’s only if we broadcast without a problem.”
It’s been over three weeks since the naval ship sinking but Music Bank is still going to hold off from broadcasting due to ongoing salvage operations.

I'm not sure if the cancellation has to do with the latest developments of the Cheonan situation or the strike. Perhaps both.
