Complete Guide to the 2026 Chuseok Special Movie Schedule! Check the broadcast times by date and channel for tvN, OCN, SBS, EBS, and JTBC from September 24 to 27, as well as the TV premieres of *Unavoidable Extended Edition* and *The Man Who Lives with King*, all in one place.
Everyone, Chuseok is really just around the corner 🌕✨
Frying jeon, eating songpyeon, and grabbing the remote to watch special movies during the holidays is the unwritten rule, isn't it? 😂
But this year's lineup looked unusual.
The Man Who Lives with King and I, which surpassed 10 million viewers, is already airing on network TV, and I hear that the extended cut of Director Park Chan-wook's *It Can't Be Helped* will be shown on TV for the first time. 🔥
There were quite a few shows that made me think, "Is this already on TV?", so I’ve organized them all by date and channel!
1. Key Summary of the 2026 Chuseok Holiday & Special Movies
This year, Chuseok is on September 25th (Friday).
The official holiday is from the 24th (Thu) to the 26th (Sat), and since the 27th is a Sunday, it is effectively a 4-day holiday 💡
This year's special movies are scheduled mainly on tvN, OCN, SBS, EBS1, and JTBC. That's enough.
There are exactly two times you must not miss 👇
⭐ September 24 (Thu) 10 PM | tvN – <Unavoidable Extended Edition>
👑 September 26 (Sat) 9:30 PM | SBS – The Man Living with the King
2. Schedule for the first day of the holiday, September 24 (Thu)
4:20 PM OCN Stormy Chase starring Jackie Chan, TV premiere
7:00 PM OCN Informant Heo Seong-tae · Jo Bok-rae
10:00 PM tvN Unavoidable Extended Edition, TV Premiere, 157 minutes
The main event of the first day is undoubtedly the "It Can't Be Helped" expanded edition. It's 😭
The 157-minute version with 19 minutes added to the 138-minute theatrical version It's like this.
The theater attendance was 2.94 million, but this time there were quite a lot of new scenes added.
A scene showing the relationship between Mansu (Lee Byung-hun) and his wife Miri (Son Ye-jin).
Family daily life leaving the cello practice room with daughter Ri-won
Oh Jin-ho (Yoo Yeon-seok) dental clinic episode, Si-won (Kim Woo-seung) story
Even those who have already seen it in the theater will likely enjoy comparing the two ✨
3. Schedule for Chuseok Day, September 25 (Fri)
0:00 (Midnight on the 24th) JTBC Hunt Lee Jung-jae · Jung Woo-sung
1:40 PM JTBC Victory Hyeri & Park Se-wan Youth Drama
2:10 PM EBS1 The Sound of Music: A masterpiece recommended for the whole family
6:00 PM OCN Kraven the Hunter Marvel Action
10:00 PM OCN Unavoidable Movie, TV Release
10:10 PM tvN Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Chaos Benedict Cumberbatch
It's perfect to watch *The Sound of Music* with Grandma and Grandpa during the day 🎵
The 10 PM time slot is definitely a channel battle time 🔥
OCN's *Unavoidable* theatrical version and tvN's *Doctor Strange* start 10 minutes apart. I do.
Please be careful not to confuse this with the tvN extended version from the previous day!
4. September 26 (Sat) is the busiest day for moviegoers
6:00 PM tvN Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 TV Premiere
9:30 PM SBS The Man Living with the King, a 16.92 million box office hit
11:05 PM EBS1 The Bourne Supremacy Matt Damon Spy Action
11:10 PM OCN People Upstairs TV Premiere, Director Ha Jung-woo
Today's star is definitely *The Man Living with the King* 👑
It is a film by director Jang Hang-jun, and stars Yoo Hae-jin, Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Ji-tae, and Jeon Mi-do.
It is the story of a young king who was driven from the throne and exiled to Cheongnyeongpo, and the village chief Eom Heung-do who came to watch over him.
They say it surpassed 10 million viewers in just 31 days after its release in February 2026, and ultimately garnered 16.92 million. 😳
It's really fast, isn't it, to be on a major network just over seven months after its release?
At 11 PM, *The Bourne Supremacy* and *The People Upstairs* are only 5 minutes apart, so please pick one in advance!
5. Schedule for the last day of the holiday weekend, September 27 (Sun)
1:30 PM EBS1 The Way Home, Directed by Zhang Yimou, Starring Zhang Ziyi
11:10 PM EBS1 Detective K: Secret of the Virtuous Widow Kim Myung-min, Oh Dal-su, Han Ji-min
⚠️ Caution here!
EBS's *The Way Home* is not a Korean film starring Jeon Do-yeon and Go Soo, but a 1999 Chinese film. It is.
It's a sweet first love story set in a mountain village in the 1950s, so I highly recommend it if you like gentle stories 💕
6. TV Premieres & Why KBS and MBC Movies Are Not Visible
📺 Watch TV Premieres
Stormy Shadows – 9/24 16:20 OCN
It Can't Be Helped Extended Edition – 9/24 22:00 tvN
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – 9/26 18:00 tvN
People Upstairs – 9/26 23:10 OCN
You don't see many KBS and MBC special movies this year, do you? 🤔
This is because terrestrial broadcasters are focusing on coverage of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games (September 19–October 4), which coincides perfectly with the holidays. It's like this.
For your reference, among the program schedules circulating online, there are quite a few that have different dates and works.
This article is organized based on programming schedules that match official broadcaster announcements and various sources.
Please check the official schedule for the day again, as times may be delayed due to sports broadcasts or special news reports. 🙏
