Hi everyone! Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review! Here’s all the news you might have missed:

Headlines

  • Super Junior‘s Kangin was reported to have drunkenly assaulted his girlfriend in a Seoul room salon. While she has refused to press any charges against him, this is not the first time Kangin has proved himself to be a danger under the influence of alcohol.
  • Apparently, A Pink received another bomb threat during the 2017 Asia Artist Awards (AAA). It’s believed to be from the same man who had previously sent other bomb threats.
  • MBC‘s strike has finally ended! With the dismissal of the MBC’s President, the strike has come to a close. Shows such as Music Core and Infinity Challenge are set to return soon. Meanwhile, KBS is still going strong with their strike. Episodes of The Return of SupermanHappy Together and 2 Days 1 Night are being replaced with other shows or special episodes.
  • Due to the earthquake in Pohang on November 15, the Suneung — or college entrance examination — has been postponed by a week. This is the first time in the history of the exam that the test has been re-scheduled.
    • The new test date also meant that many high school seniors would spend the weekend studying, and that some would be unable to attend the November 18 and 19 VIXX LR concerts. In light of this, Jellyfish Entertainment announced that they would allow high school seniors to claim full refunds for their tickets, as long as they submit their exam admission receipts.
