SBS variety program "Ani Geunje Jjinjja!" has quietly concluded after six months.

"Ani Geunje Jjinjja!" ended with its 26th episode, which aired on the 27th. This marks approximately six months since its premiere on February 2.

"Ani Geunje Jjinjja!" positioned itself as a new concept talk show featuring diverse concepts each episode. It garnered anticipation before broadcast by bringing together Tak Jae-hoon and Lee Sang-min, recipients of the Grand Prize at the SBS Entertainment Awards; comedian Lee Su-ji, recognized as a rising star; and Kai, a member of the group EXO, as MCs.

The MCs delivered unique humor by alternating between talk segments and skits with various star guests each episode. The program gained word-of-mouth popularity among viewers due to its experimental format that broke away from traditional talk show formulas and the fresh combination of its MC lineup.

However, ratings remained in the 1st–2% range (based on Nielsen Korea nationwide data), leaving room for disappointment. The final episode rebounded to 2.5%, tying with the program's own highest rating. Nevertheless, the show concluded just six months after its premiere.

During the closing moments of the final broadcast on the 27th, the production team announced the program's end by displaying only the caption "Thank you for watching," without any farewell messages from the MCs.

Tak Jae-hoon and Lee Sang-min had returned to SBS variety programming with "Ani Geunje Jjinjja!" approximately two months after the conclusion of last December's SBS variety show "Take Off Your Shoes, Singing For Men." However, even this follow-up program has now ended.

Meanwhile, SBS plans to air a new dating variety show titled "My Remaining Love" as the successor to "Ani Geunje Jjinjja!"
