K-pop fans, brace for impact! KBS is pulling the plug on Music Bank for two weeks this June due to 2026 FIFA World Cup coverage. This historic hiatus marks the first time since 2002 that the show has gone off-air for the tournament. With South Korea’s crucial group matches taking priority, the stage stays empty until the July 3rd return.
