During the filming of this year’s first “Idol Star Athletics Championships” special, plenty of idols took to social media to share a glimpse of the events with fans!

MBC’s “Idol Star Athletics Championships” is a sporting event in which idols go head-to-head in various competitions. The specials air twice a year, over both the Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays, and the Lunar New Year special was filmed on January 16. The day’s filming included idols participating in track and field, archery, rhythmic gymnastics, and aerobics events.

Many of the groups who took part posted photos from the filming to their Twitter or Instagram accounts, and sent messages thanking the fans in attendance, showing the meals they’d prepared for and received from fans, wishing everyone a safe trip home, and more.

Check out many of the posts below!

AOA’s Jimin, Chanmi, ChoA, and Seolhyun used the group’s Twitter account to share photos from filming and express their thanks and love. After thanking fans for cheering them on and making good memories with them during the day, Jimin explained that her blurry photo was supposed to have been a selfie she tried to take with Chanmi.
