KBS 2TV’s Music Bank will not air on June 19 and 26 as the show takes a two-week hiatus.
The KBS music program has officially announced the break, citing coverage of the FIFA World Cup. This marks the first time since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup that Music Bank has been canceled for the event. Broadcast time changes have happened in past years, but a full two-week pause remains rare. The show normally airs Fridays at 5 p.m. KST. Officials asked viewers for their understanding during the scheduled absence.
