MBC's representative program "Idol Star Athletics Championships" (hereinafter referred to as "AYUD") is coming back.

On the 17th, according to My Daily's coverage, "AYUD," which had been temporarily suspended due to the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), will be officially held for the first time in two years since the "2020 Lunar New Year Special." The production team has begun preparations for the Chuseok special. This marks the first Chuseok special to be normalized since 2019, three years ago.

Due to the worsening spread of COVID-19, "AYUD" entered a hiatus after the "2020 Lunar New Year Special." For the "2020 Chuseok Special," indoor stadium events were completely canceled, and only the "Idol e-Sports Championships" and "Idol Dog Championships" were held outdoors on a reduced scale without an audience.

Last year, the "2021 Lunar New Year Special" aired "Idol Star Athletics Championships: Hall of Fame," which compiled memorable moments, while the "2021 Chuseok Special" and "2022 Lunar New Year Special" passed by quietly.

"AYUD" is a special program where the most popular idol singers of the time challenge themselves in sports, competing fairly and sweating it out.
