“Signal” Season 2 Reportedly Removed From tvN’s Summer Programming + tvN Responds

Season 2 of “Signal” has reportedly been removed from tvN’s summer programming.

On April 17, Korean news outlet OSEN reported that “The Second Signal,” the long-awaited second season of the hit 2016 drama “Signal,” had been pulled from its summer broadcast slot and would no longer be premiering in June as originally scheduled.

OSEN also reported that tvN had decided to air Apple TV+’s “Pachinko” instead of “The Second Signal.”

Later that morning, tvN responded to the reports by stating, “Nothing has yet been decided regarding the broadcasting of ‘The Second Signal.’”

The network also stated, “While it’s true that ‘Pachinko’ has been confirmed to air on tvN, the exact dates and time slot have not yet been decided.”

In December of last year, “The Second Signal” star Cho Jin Woong came under fire after he was revealed to have a juvenile criminal record from his school days. Disclosures also surfaced about incidents from his adulthood, including an assault-related dispute and a drunk driving record. Cho Jin Woong ultimately acknowledged responsibility and announced his retirement, leaving the future of “The Second Signal,” which had already completed filming in August, uncertain.

According to OSEN’s unconfirmed report, “The Second Signal” has not been definitively canceled. Instead, tvN is currently in the process of taking more time to consider its broadcast plans for the drama. As the series was originally intended to air this year to commemorate tvN’s 20th anniversary, the network is said to be discussing the possibility of a premiere sometime before the end of 2026.

Chen, Baekhyun, And Xiumin Reportedly Notify INB100 Of Contract Termination

Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin have reportedly moved to terminate their contracts with INB100.

On April 10, THE FACT reported that Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin sent a formal notice in late March to INB100 CEO Cha Ga Won, informing her of their intent to terminate their exclusive contracts while requesting clarification regarding unpaid settlements and other alleged contract violations. Despite allowing an additional two weeks for a response, the trio reportedly did not receive a satisfactory explanation and ultimately decided to proceed with the termination.

In response to the report, Cha Ga Won’s side stated, “We are working to normalize the company. We will do our best to resolve the situation, whether through additional investment or by using personal funds.”

INB100 is a company Baekhyun established while preparing to become independent from SM Entertainment. In May 2024, it was incorporated as a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED, a company founded by Cha Ga Won and MC Mong. Cha Ga Won later became the largest shareholder, overseeing INB100 alongside ONE HUNDRED and Big Planet Made Entertainment.

Prior to Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin, several artists under Cha Ga Won—including nine members of THE BOYZ from ONE HUNDRED, as well as Taemin, Lee Mujin, BE’O, VIVIZ, and Lee Seung Gi from Big Planet Made Entertainment—had also notified the company of their contract terminations.

Cha Ga Won is currently facing three fraud allegations. She is suspected of signing contracts involving the use of her artists’ intellectual property and receiving large advance payments without carrying out the related business. Police are reportedly consolidating the cases and continuing their investigation.

Stay tuned for updates.
