HalMyungSoo takes a break after six years.

HalMyungSoo, a web variety show produced by JTBC Digital Studio, has entered its first break in six years. The production team announced the break on its YouTube channel on the 24th with a notice titled “Summer Vacation Announcement.” HalMyungSoo, hosted by Park Myeong-su, debuted in August 2020 and has since become a flagship digital content with 1.73 million subscribers. The production team said, “Kkais, we’ve been running nonstop for six years, so we’ll take a short break to recharge. Keep reviewing HalMyungSoo while you wait. (We’re watching closely to see if the view count goes up.)” They added, “We’ll return with big fun and big laughs. When we come back, we’ll have plenty of things you’ll want to see.” The team said they would return before summer ends, bringing big laughs.

HalMyungSoo is JTBC’s flagship digital content, having secured 1.73 million subscribers since its debut in August 2020.

HalMyungSoo has gained popularity through the combination of Park Myeong-su’s character and various star guests. Park Myeong-su, a comedian known for his work on programs such as “Knowing Bros,” has been the central figure in HalMyungSoo, which focuses on his conversational skills and interactions with guests. Produced by JTBC Digital Studio, HalMyungSoo has consistently released content for six years since its debut in August 2020. The production team stated that the break is intended to recharge their energy and prepare for delivering even greater laughter in the future.

The decision to take a break appears to be directly linked to JTBC’s financial difficulties.

The break of HalMyungSoo coincides with JTBC’s financial troubles. Last month, JTBC failed to repay a 20.6 billion won liquidity loan, declaring default. Subsequently, JTBC, along with major affiliates of the Central Group including Central Holdings, Contentri Central, Megabox Central, and Central P&A, filed for corporate rehabilitation at the Seoul Bankruptcy Court. The court has approved the voluntary restructuring support program (ARS) for JTBC and is currently withholding the decision to initiate rehabilitation proceedings. As JTBC’s austerity financial policy intensifies, attention is focused on the future of HalMyungSoo’s production. The production team clarified that the break is not a permanent suspension, but concerns have been raised about the possibility of the program ending if the break extends for too long.

HalMyungSoo officially announced the break on its social media platforms on the 24th.
