‘Goal Diggers’ will be canceled due to the effects of the state of emergency.
An SBS official stated on the 4th to Maeil Business Star Today, “The broadcast of ‘Goal Diggers’ scheduled for today has been canceled due to the special 8 News scheduling.”
The sudden cancellation is a result of President Yoon Suk-yeol's unexpected declaration and subsequent lifting of the state of emergency.
President Yoon declared a state of emergency on the 3rd at around 10:24 PM, stating it was “to eradicate pro-North Korea anti-state forces and to protect the free constitutional order.”
In response, the National Assembly held a plenary session around 1 AM on the 4th and passed a resolution demanding the lifting of the state of emergency, to which President Yoon responded, “I accept the National Assembly's request and humbly accept the will of the people,” lifting the state of emergency just six hours later.
