[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] JTBC’s flagship variety show “Knowing Bros” is once again taking a break from the airwaves. While JTBC explained that the hiatus is due to the scheduling of World Cup highlights, viewers’ concerns are mounting as the show’s repeated cancellations coincide with recent controversies over the network’s financial difficulties.

This is not the first time the show has been preempted. “Knowing Bros” was also preempted on the 4th due to the broadcast of “2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Goal Compilation.” Some viewers have expressed disappointment over the consecutive cancellations. In particular, when the show was last canceled, there were concerns that JTBC was scaling back its variety programming in light of changes in its business environment. However, JTBC explained that this cancellation is also due to the special World Cup programming.
