tvN once again remained tight-lipped regarding the December scheduling of the drama "Signal 2."

On the 25th, a tvN official briefly told StarNews, "There is no confirmed schedule," when asked about the December broadcast plans for "The Second Signal" (hereinafter referred to as "Signal 2").

Earlier that day, My Daily reported that "Signal 2" had been scheduled as a Monday-Tuesday drama airing on December 7.

Previously, "Signal 2" was set to air this year, marking the 10th anniversary of Season 1's broadcast in 2016. However, scheduling for the drama has been halted after lead actor Cho Jin-woong sparked controversy over his private life, including allegations regarding a past juvenile criminal record.

Cho Jin-woong became embroiled in suspicions concerning a juvenile criminal record, drunk driving, and an assault conviction in December 2025.

In response to the controversy, Cho Jin-woong ultimately declared his retirement. At the time, he stated, "I bow my head in apology for disappointing everyone who believed in and supported me due to my past disgraceful actions. I humbly accept all this criticism and intend to cease all activities as of today, putting a period on my path as an actor. I believe this is the proper responsibility and duty I must bear for my past mistakes."

"Signal 2" is the new season of "Signal," which aired in 2016. It had generated anticipation with the reunion of leads Cho Jin-woong, Kim Hye-soo, and Lee Je-hoon, but its broadcast status remains uncertain at present.
