'Divorce Counseling Camp' will take a one-week break due to the broadcast of the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup.

JTBC announced on the 17th that "JTBC's 'Divorce Counseling Camp,' scheduled to air at 10:30 p.m. on the 18th, will be suspended."

According to JTBC, the time slot will feature a rebroadcast of the World Cup special program 'Today's World Cup' and the South Korea vs. Czech Republic group stage 'Match Highlight.' Following that, the group stage match between the Czech Republic and South Africa will be broadcast live starting at 12:20 a.m. (kickoff at 1:00 a.m.).

As a result, the 90th episode of 'Divorce Counseling Camp' will air on the 25th at 10:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, JTBC declared a default on the 12th after failing to repay a total of 20.6 billion won in liquidity loans upon maturity.

In response, JTBC stated, "We will do our utmost to resolve this situation as quickly as possible with a responsible attitude by mobilizing all available means internally and externally," and added, "Broadcast content production and airing, including news and major sports broadcasts, will continue to operate normally."

Five affiliates of the Jungang Group, including JTBC, are facing a financial crisis. Two days later on the 14th, Jungang Holdings, Contentree Jungang, Jungang P&I, and Megabox Jungang filed for reorganization proceedings, and JTBC also filed for reorganization with the court on the 15th.

Previously, concerns were raised that JTBC incurred excessive costs in securing broadcasting rights for major sports events such as the North American World Cup, and worries about the liquidity crisis of the Jungang Group are spreading.
