The official lineup of idols who will be competing the "2020 Idol eSports Athletics Championships" is now revealed by MBC!

Previously, the network announced that it would be airing the popular eSports event as its own stand-alone Chuseok special after canceling all indoor events for the "2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships – Chuseok Special" due to safety concerns.

There are two brand-new events in the said competition in which the featured idols will be facing-off: the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile and the mobile version of KartRider.

MBC officially announced on September 14 that it would be filming the "2020 Idol eSports Athletics Championships" in Gyeonggi Province later that day. And as previously reported, the competition will be held outdoors with no audience, while protective booths will separate the participating idols as a precautionary measure.

Furthermore, the network also confirmed the lineup of idols who would be competing in the special. This year's returnee vying for another chance at the title is NCT Dream, who won the PUBG group tournament at the "2019 Idol Star Athletics Championships – Chuseok Special." Also competing in the event are Park Ji Hoon and Ha Sung Woon. They dominated both the solo and group PUBG tournaments at the "2020 Idol Star Athletics Championships – New Year Special" earlier this year.

The producers of the event announced that they have decided to hold a Livestream of the idols arriving at least to partially satisfy the curiosity of fans and viewers because the competition will be held without an audience.

They continued that the idol athletes competing in the KartRider Rush Plus event will be taking part in a live broadcast of their arrival on September 14 at 6 p.m., depending on the situation on-site, the athletes' condition, and how preparations progress.
