Singer Min Kyung-hoon has temporarily stepped back from 'Knowing Bros', and a new group photo revealing his vacant spot has been released.

On the 29th, the JTBC 'Knowing Bros' team previewed that day's broadcast on its official SNS with the message: "Welcome to the world of magic in Brother School, which will delight your eyes and ears and thrill you."

The released photo shows 'Knowing Bros' members alongside guests Ji Sang-ryeol, Lee Eun-kyung, Park Ji-won, and Tsuki. Notably, Min Kyung-hoon, who had been with the program for a long time, was absent, drawing attention.

Min Kyung-hoon decided to take a short break from 'Knowing Bros' after ending his recent broadcast, having been part of the show for about 11 years. A special member will fill his vacant spot, and comedian Kwak Beom took over for that day's episode. The JTBC team told StarNews: "Kwak Beom is not joining as a fixed member."

The 'Knowing Bros' team is expected to mention Min Kyung-hoon's temporary departure during the opening of that day's broadcast.

The day before, Min Kyung-hoon's agency stated: "Min Kyung-hoon has decided to take a short period of recharging from JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', with which he has been associated for a long time."

It continued: "Having run tirelessly for a long period, he plans to catch his breath, recharge his energy, and return. After sufficient rest, he will greet everyone again with an even brighter and better image."

Meanwhile, Min Kyung-hoon married JTBC PD Shin Ki-eun, who is four years his senior, in November 2024 after meeting through 'Knowing Bros'.
