ATEEZ will appear on JTBC’s Knowing Bros as a complete eight-member group in November 2026. The production team confirmed the appearance on October 28, teasing candid stories from the group’s years together as well as performances prepared for the variety show.
Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho will all join the classroom-themed program. Fans are used to seeing their tightly coordinated stage performances; this time, the members will also have room to talk, joke and share stories with the hosts.
Eight members, one classroom
JTBC’s announcement promises a deeper conversation about the group’s journey since debut, including behind-the-scenes moments from their activities. Now in their ninth year as ATEEZ, the members have plenty of shared experiences to draw on, even if the producers have not yet revealed which stories will make the final broadcast.
The exact episode date has not yet been announced. For now, the confirmed broadcast window is November. Knowing Bros normally airs on JTBC on Saturdays at 9 p.m. Korea time, but fans should check the program’s official schedule before setting a date for this particular episode.
A new song and a show-only performance
The booking follows ATEEZ’s October 23 release of “Drip,” a pre-release track ahead of their next mini album. Reports on JTBC’s announcement say the group will perform the song and prepare another stage specifically for Knowing Bros.
It is a good fit for a group whose live performances have become a major part of its identity. On a variety show, however, the most memorable moments can arrive between the songs: a teasing comment from a bandmate, an unexpected admission or a story that changes how fans remember a familiar performance.
Why the timing matters
Earlier in 2026, ATEEZ’s “BAD” attracted renewed attention as its dance challenge spread online and the song climbed back up music charts. With a fresh release now in circulation, a full-group television appearance gives the members another way to reach casual viewers who may have first encountered them through a short video.
Just as importantly, the booking puts their relationships at the center. Eight members who have worked together since their 2018 debut have plenty to say that cannot be squeezed into an album teaser. The production team has promised behind-the-scenes stories, but the details are best left for the episode itself.
When will ATEEZ’s episode air?
JTBC has confirmed a November 2026 broadcast, but an exact episode date has not been announced as of October 29. The date and any preview clips will need to be confirmed through the show’s official schedule once JTBC releases them.
