Episode 13 Of The King: Eternal Monarch Not Airing Today

JAKARTA - The Korean drama The King: Eternal Monarch will not air episode 13 on Friday, May 29. Instead, the SBS television channel will feature the film Contagion (2011).

Reporting from Soompi, SBS explained, through the film Contagion the audience will see how humans deal with the virus. This broadcast is also expected to increase audience awareness of this virus (COVID-19).

"The crisis is again escalating with the number of confirmed patients with COVID-19 soaring for two consecutive days, reaching more than 70 patients (in one day) for the first time in two months," said the SBS representative.

Contagion is an American film that tells the story of a virus that causes chaos around the world. This film is reportedly predicting the arrival of the ongoing COVID-19 event so that this film is a topic of conversation everywhere.

Netizens responded negatively to this sudden announcement because they couldn't watch the excitement that was happening in The King: Eternal Monarch as scheduled. In addition, the conflict that has risen has caused theories and rumors about this drama to spread.

On the last 12th episode, The King ended with Lady Noh (Kim Young Ok) asking Jung Tae Eul (Kim Go Eun) about Korean history, which implied that she knew something about Korea.

Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) then saves Tae Eul because he calls Tae Eul the future queen for Corea.

The meeting between Lee Lim (Lee Jung Jin) and Kang Shin Jae (Lee Kyung Nam) looks serious in the preview of episode 13. Luna (Kim Go Eun) is also seen talking to Tae Eul where she says "If you see me, you die." The two of them now switch places; Tae Eul is in Corea while Luna is in Korea.

The King: Eternal Monarch finished filming on Thursday, May 28 after eight months of co-production.

However, viewers need not be sad, because episode 13 will be aired on SBS and Netflix on Saturday, May 30 at the same time.
