SBS’ music show Inkigayo announced that they are banning shouting and cheering from the audience during the filming due to the change in quarantine guidelines in South Korea.
On 5 August, SBS Inkigayo announced on their official website, "According to the change in quarantine guidelines, shouting/cheering during pre-recording and live broadcasting of Inkigayo has been banned."
They added, "After a long consideration, we ask for your understanding that shouting/cheering is prohibited for the safety of artists and audiences on set.”
Inkigayo had suspended face-to-face viewing to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 but resumed public viewing from mid-May this year as quarantine rules in South Korea were eased.
However now, in the aftermath of the re-spread of COVID-19, audience shouting has been banned.
