[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] JTBC’s variety show “Divorce Cooling-Off Camp” will remain on hiatus even after the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup concludes, sparking ongoing concerns both within and outside the industry over whether this is a result of the financial difficulties that have recently come to light.

On the 22nd, JTBC stated, “The episode of JTBC’s ‘Divorce Cooling-Off Camp’ scheduled to air on the 23rd will be postponed,” adding, “The 93rd episode of ‘Divorce Cooling-Off Camp’ will air this Thursday, the 30th, at 10:30 p.m.”
Regarding the reason for the hiatus, they explained, “It is due to production scheduling.”
Previously, “Divorce Cooling-Off Camp” was preempted on the 2nd. At the time, JTBC stated, “The show is being preempted due to the North and Central America World Cup schedule,” adding that “2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Match Review” and “Today’s World Cup” would air instead. Although the show aired as scheduled on the 9th and 16th, it has now been preempted once again.
Although JTBC stated that the program was suspended due to production schedules, the industry is closely monitoring the situation, given that the network has been experiencing financial difficulties and has faced some delays in paying cast fees.
In addition, filming for the web variety show “Hal Myeong-su” has been canceled, and the drama “Rediscovering Love” recently suspended filming, fueling ongoing concerns about program production. However, the drama’s production team drew a clear line regarding any direct connection to the corporate rehabilitation proceedings, explaining that the suspension was “a reorganization to improve the quality of the script and a schedule adjustment in consideration of the rainy season.”
Following its filing for corporate rehabilitation on the 15th of last month, JTBC also applied for the Autonomous Restructuring Support (ARS) program. On the 30th of last month, the Seoul Bankruptcy Court approved JTBC’s ARS application and deferred its decision on whether to initiate corporate rehabilitation proceedings. In contrast, the court decided to initiate rehabilitation proceedings for four affiliates of the Joongang Group.
