Instead, the network will be airing ‘Contagion’ (2011), a thriller film that is about a deadly virus that causes a pandemic across the globe. The source from SBS stated, “Through ‘Contagion,’ we will examine how the human race deals with viruses and raise awareness [of COVID-19]. A crisis is on the rise once more as the number of newly confirmed COVID-19 patients has soared two days in a row, reaching more than 70 patients (in a day) for the first time in nearly two months.”


'The King: Eternal Monarch' will return with Episode 13 on Saturday, May 30, at 10 pm KST. We'll definitely be tuning in! What about you?
