JTBC Golf & Sports entertainment programs 'Knowing Bros' and 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' dismissed rumors of production suspension by proceeding with filming as scheduled.
Rumors of a potential suspension of variety show productions arose as JTBC Golf & Sports underwent corporate rehabilitation proceedings, but the casts of 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' and 'Knowing Bros' confirmed that operations are proceeding normally by personally revealing behind-the-scenes footage of their recordings. Although concerns had grown recently due to controversy over delayed payment of appearance fees, JTBC Golf & Sports stated that all variety programs are proceeding with recordings according to their scheduled dates.
Comedian Kim Young-chul shared photos on his social media showing himself preparing for filming in the waiting room for 'Knowing Bros,' confirming that recordings are proceeding as planned. Previously, chefs Kwon Sung-jun and Yoon Nam-no, cast members of 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,' also indirectly refuted the production suspension rumors by verifying the filming location on social media.
While JTBC Golf & Sports acknowledged that some payment delays occurred during the corporate rehabilitation process, they explained that payments are being made sequentially in accordance with court procedures. They also emphasized that the rumors of a complete suspension of variety programs are unfounded and that all schedules are proceeding as planned.
Some still express concern about changes in the production environment due to the management crisis. As schedule changes and hiatuses continue for some programs, it is necessary to continuously monitor the situation going forward. However, as major variety programs continue filming normally, the anxiety regarding a complete production halt appears to have somewhat subsided.
