A new 'sports idol' was born at the 2025 Idol Star Championships (hereinafter ISAC), which returned as a Chuseok special.
On the 6th, MBC's "2025 Chuseok special ISAC" aired, showcasing fierce competition among idol members vying for gold medals in various events.
In the women's 60-meter track, TripleS Nien captured the gold with overwhelming speed. Nien recorded 9.70 seconds, the only athlete in the 9-second range, rising to become the new owner of the "track idol." In the men's institutional sector, LUN8 Kael took first place with a relaxed race, signaling a generational shift.
The pistol shooting event newly added this year proved to be a real "masterstroke." In the men's institutional sector, thanks to balanced performances from Anton, Shotaro and Wonbin, RIIZE won the honor of the inaugural gold medal. The head-to-head matchup with ZEROBASEONE also drew enthusiastic support from fans.
The penalty shootout contest was tight. Nowz, who defeated EVEN, Lucy, who defeated NINE, and NCT WISH, who defeated ZEROBASEONE, achieved the feat of advancing to the semifinals.
Meanwhile, ISAC has become a program that goes beyond a simple sports competition and offers a glimpse of idols' offstage charms. With evolving events and formats each year, it firmly holds its place as the representative holiday variety show.<
