2022 ISAC Winners: Results from the IDOL Star Athletic Championship's Chuseok special
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: The 2022 Idol Star Athletic Championships were something that fans had been looking forward to for months. When it was announced that ISAC was coming back for an in-person event this year, fans were excited to see fourth-gen idols interact for the first time in person. After making their debut around the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, the newest generation of K-pop has not seen many interactions at a large scale so ISAC 2022 comes as a welcome surprise.
The games were conducted in July whereas the in person event was aired on MBC as part of a Chuseok Special. Since South Korea is celebrating the Chuseok festival since last weekend, fans of the Korean Entertainment were able to watch the three-day event from the comfort of their homes. Over the first two days of ISAC 2022, fans witnessed male idols from groups like The Boyz, Stray Kids, Ateez and NCT compete in a game of Archery whereas the other games played so far included Dance Sports and e-Sports.
