Is Season 4 (2025) in peril? Has PD Jang Si-won (and Studio C1 Studio) been sidelined by JTBC? Can someone please explain what is going on?
My rough understanding is JTBC's conflict with Studio C1 regarding revenue sharing (and alleging the studio has been double-billing production costs for games which were split into airing two episodes.) JTBC attempted to cancel the 2025 tryouts, has been contacting various production personnel (& maybe cast members) about proceeding without Studio C1 &. PD Jang's claimed to continue with the tryouts stating that there is only a slim window for tryouts before conflicts in scheduling with various baseball organizations make this impossible, and has disputed the allegations of impropriety (stating that JTBC never raised this issue during the first three seasons of the show.)
I also read somewhere that some of the veteran players/ cast members may go on strike in solidarity with PD Jang and this may result in an all-new cast—something which would ruin the show for me and probably many others. What's up with A Clean Sweep (Strongest Baseball)?
