The popular South Korean variety show '2 Days & 1 Night' has announced a sudden change in its broadcast schedule. The second part of its planned trip to Geojedo, which was set to air on August 23rd, will be replaced by a special program. The production team cited the ongoing heavy rainfall and potential damage in the region as the reason for this alteration.

In an official statement released through its channels, the '2 Days & 1 Night' team expressed regret for the inconvenience caused by the schedule change. They requested understanding from their viewers regarding the decision. The show had previously aired the first part of its Geojedo special on August 16th, featuring the cast's adventures on the island.

This decision reflects the show's sensitivity to the current weather situation and its potential impact on the region.

The exact nature of the special broadcast has not yet been detailed.
