“Idol Star Athletics & Swimming Championships” to record swimming segment privately

After recording its first segment on January 23rd, filming for the swimming portion of MBC’s Lunar New Year special, “Idol Star Athletics & Swimming Championships,” will be done privately on the 30th.
Kim Yugon PD spoke with Newsen on the 24th and revealed, “The contestants have not yet been decided, and there aren’t a lot of idols that know how to swim. Unlike the athletics portion of the program, the swimming championship will be done privately.”
Regarding UEE’s appearance, which has been earning much attention ever since she first suggested the swim segment on last year’s Chuseok special, Kim replied, “UEE’s attendance has not been confirmed. She feels a lot of pressure. Although she used to be a swim athlete, she feels pressure in having to show off her skills since she was the one who suggested it.”
Kim concluded, “The swimming segment will not be as long as the athletics’ portion. Overall, it won’t even take up half of the entire program.”
Idols will be taking part in 50m and 100m swimming races.  The full program will air as a two-day special on February 5th and 6th at 8:40 PM KST.
