On a latest episode for JBTC's "Sseul Jeon," where Heechul is one of the hosts, he discussed the positive and negative effects on idols stars participating in the program of MBC's "Idol Star Athletics Championships."

According to the Super Junior member, if an idol does not take part in the show, they could suffer some consequences like, a rejection to future offers to appear on the station and it could be a disadvantage for the idol. However, the stars who get the good outcome in participating are the athletic ones; they could be highly recognized for that.

Meanwhile, a representative of MBC answered to his comments on September 27 saying, "We heard about Heechul's comments on JTBC's "Ssul Jeon." Expressing varied thoughts like that is one of the special features of "Ssul Jeon," so we don't think it's something to read into."

"It seems like rumours about idol groups suffering disadvantages on MBC's music programs if they don't appear on "Idol Star Athletics Championship" have been raised a few times. However, in reality, even in this year's filming there were several cases of idol groups that couldn't make the filming because of their schedules."

The representative was also asked if they were going to continue to have holiday programs such as "Idol Star Althletics Championship," he answered that since they had a good reaction, they have been thinking of doing another one. However, they still have to discuss it further.
