South Korean channel KBS has announced a revamp in its drama lineup for 2025, in order to keep the momentum going and further encourage viewer participation. This was reported by IZE News on May 21.
According to the report, KBS will be changing the lineup of dramas like Twelve, Eunsoo's Lucky Day, Last Summer, and My Beloved Thief. They will now be airing on weekends to "enrich viewers' weekend at home." This change will take place after The First Night with the Duke starring Girls' Generation's Seohyun and 2PM's Taecyeon airs from June 11 on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Wednesday–Thursday slot will be temporarily suspended as the new dramas move to the weekend slot in later weeks.
