Sudden Delay Shocks Viewers — Korean Drama Postponed Just One Day Before Premiere

The last-minute decision comes as the Constitutional Court prepares to deliver its ruling on President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment — sending broadcast networks into emergency mode.

MBC Postpones Premiere of ‘Bunny and Her Boys’

Just one day before its scheduled premiere, MBC has announced a sudden programming change, delaying the launch of its new drama Bunny and Her Boys, which was set to air on April 4. The network cited breaking news coverage as the reason:

“Due to special news programming, the premiere of Bunny and Her Boys has been rescheduled to April 11. We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding,” MBC said in an official statement on April 3.

This change follows the Constitutional Court's announcement that it will issue its ruling on President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment at 11 a.m. KST on April 4. With the nation’s attention on the political outcome, major broadcasters have rearranged their schedules to accommodate real-time news coverage.

Industry on Alert: Programming Chaos for Broadcasters

The impeachment ruling has triggered emergency adjustments in the broadcasting industry.

Live programs, entertainment shows, and even scripted series — especially those about to premiere — are facing last-minute shifts, with executives on high alert over the potential impact on viewership and buzz.

About the Drama: A Campus Romance With Webtoon Roots

Bunny and Her Boys is one of MBC’s most anticipated titles of 2025. Based on a hit Kakao webtoon with over 170 million cumulative views, the drama tells the story of Bunny (played by Noh Jung-eui), who, after a disastrous first love, finds herself caught between five very different — and very attractive — men.

Through these relationships, she gradually discovers what true love really means. The webtoon, a long-running favorite since 2019, has won fans over with its vivid artwork, heartfelt emotional arcs, and relatable storytelling.

Cast & Expectations

The adaptation stars Noh Jung-eui, Lee Chae-min, and Jo Joon-young, all up-and-coming actors. Noh, in particular, is being positioned as a next-gen leading actress, with strong acting credentials and growing popularity.

Since its announcement, teasers and posters for the drama have gone viral, with fans praising the visual casting and capturing screenshots of the leads with captions like:

“Noh Jung-eui is stunning…”

“Can’t wait for this!”

“Watched the webtoon four times — rewatching again before it airs.”

“MBC’s rising star — let’s go!”

“Such a perfect lineup, I’m so hyped.”

Despite the delay, online excitement remains high, with webtoon fans and K-drama lovers flooding SNS and community forums with eager anticipation.

“A Happy Set!” Noh Jung-eui, Lee Chae-min, and Jo Joon-young Talk Visuals and Romance in Bunny and Her Boys

The press conference (originally planned for April 3) proceeded as scheduled despite the delay. Actors Lee Chae-min, Noh Jung-eui, and Jo Joon-young struck a pose at the press conference for MBC’s upcoming weekend drama Bunny and Her Boys, held on April 3 at CGV Yongsan in Seoul. The romantic youth drama follows Bunny (played by Noh Jung-eui), who finds herself entangled with a series of charming men after her disastrous first love.

On-Set Chemistry & Reunions

Noh and Lee previously acted together in Netflix’s Hierarchy and enjoyed reuniting so soon: “We already had great chemistry, so this time we could focus more on enjoying each scene and communicating openly,” said Lee.

Noh added: “The experience was even more fun because we were already familiar with each other.”

Jo Joon-young noted his chemistry with both co-stars, teasing strong bromance scenes with Lee and adding: “There are many bromantic moments between our characters, so viewers can definitely look forward to those.”

Lee Chae-min cheekily pointed out a major highlight of the drama: “Noh Jung-eui’s stunning visuals are the true focal point!” He also encouraged viewers to watch the evolving chemistry between Bunny and her four romantic interests, each dynamic offering something unique.

Bunny and Her Boys premieres on April 11 at 9:50 PM KST on MBC.

Backdrop: Presidential Impeachment Decision Looms

At 11 a.m. KST on April 4, Korea’s Constitutional Court will deliver its ruling on whether to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol, following the National Assembly’s passage of the impeachment motion on December 3, 2024. This comes 122 days after the motion and 111 days after the court received the case.

The ruling has enormous constitutional and political stakes — possibly leading to President Yoon’s removal from office. If upheld, it would mark a rare instance of judicial removal of a sitting president, and is expected to send shockwaves across domestic and international politics.

With protests, counter-protests, and partisan tensions rising, the court’s decision could reshape Korea’s democratic balance of power for years to come.
