‘Knowing Bros’ Mentions Cancellation… Kim Heechul Reveals, “JTBC Director Told Us to Look for Another Network”

On the August 24th episode of JTBC’s “Knowing Bros,”the guest appearance was made by Oh My Girl, a girl group celebrating their 10th anniversary since their debut.

During their appearance on the show, Oh My Girl’s Hyojung shared, “There is a backstory to our performance of ‘Secret Garden’ on ‘Knowing Bros.’ Our CEO had called us in after the previous song and warned us that if ‘Secret Garden’ did not do well, he would disband the group.”This revelation highlights the fact that the group was facing disbandment, but their hit song “Secret Garden”ultimately saved them.

Seo Jang-hoon responded, stating, “It’s similar to our situation,”in reference to the fact that “Knowing Bros”had also faced potential cancellation after airing just 20 episodes.

Director Yoon Hyun-wook had instructed us to find a new network, but Kim Heechul took the initiative to revamp the show’s format into a classroom setting, leading to the successful revival of “Knowing Bros”.

During the conversation, Lee Soo-geun inquired with Oh My Girl about their current status with the CEO who had almost parted ways with them. The members replied affirmatively, stating that he is still their CEO, showcasing their unwavering loyalty to one another as a girl group.
