The Show To Resume Broadcasts On June 2 With SBS LIFE Move And BIGC Co-Production

The K-pop music program The Show is set to resume broadcasting on June 2, 2026, ending an approximately seven-month break from air. The Show comeback will keep the program’s established name while introducing changes to its production and programming structure, with SBS LIFE carrying the revived broadcast.¹

The return follows the program’s earlier halt after SBS MediaNet ended production. Reports on May 13, 2026, described the restart not as a simple continuation of the previous format, but as a relaunch involving a new channel arrangement and a co-production partnership with the entertainment technology startup BIGC.¹²

The Show Returns On June 2

The confirmed restart date is June 2, 2026. Yonhap News Agency reported that the cable music program would return roughly seven months after it had ended, while Koreaboo also reported the same June 2 broadcast date in its coverage of the revival.¹²

The program had previously aired on SBS funE and was produced by SBS MediaNet. That previous production arrangement ended after SBS MediaNet withdrew from entertainment operations, which left the program off air before the newly announced return.²

The revived version will air on SBS LIFE rather than SBS funE. The shift is part of the broader restructuring around the program’s comeback, with reports describing changes to both production and scheduling while retaining The Show as the program title.¹³

The Show’s return was also signaled through its official X account, which posted a playful Korean message that can be translated as, “The Show has come back with a big mark.” The post was cited in Koreaboo’s report on the comeback.²

SBS LIFE And BIGC Take On The Relaunch

The new production setup brings SBS LIFE together with BIGC, an entertainment technology startup. Yonhap reported that the two will jointly handle production for the revived program, marking a change from the earlier SBS MediaNet-led structure.¹

KPOPSTARS also summarized the restart as part of a wider overhaul, repeating that the program is moving from SBS funE to SBS LIFE and that BIGC is involved in the new production framework.³

Kim Chil Sung, BIGC’s head of performance business, is identified in reports as leading the project. KPOPSTARS described him as a former SBS MediaNet figure, linking the revived production to experience from the program’s earlier broadcast environment while placing it under a new operating structure.³

The production side framed the return as more than a technical resumption. In Yonhap’s report, The Show’s side said the program would be “reborn as a global music show” and would present “a new media environment.”¹

That statement indicates the relaunch is being positioned around a broader media strategy, though the source material does not provide additional details on format changes, new segments, hosts, guest lineups, or voting rules. Based on the available reports, the confirmed changes are the June 2 return date, the SBS LIFE broadcast arrangement, the involvement of BIGC, and the leadership role of Kim Chil Sung.¹³

What Is Confirmed So Far

The available reports establish a limited but clear set of facts around the program’s return. The Show is coming back after about seven months off air, the restart is scheduled for June 2, 2026, and the revived broadcast will air on SBS LIFE.¹²

The name The Show will remain in use. The program is not being presented in the source material as a completely separate title, even though its production and programming arrangements are being revised.¹

The earlier version’s history is also central to the context. The program was previously associated with SBS funE and SBS MediaNet before the halt in production. Koreaboo linked that pause to SBS MediaNet’s withdrawal from entertainment operations, while Yonhap reported that the show is now being brought back after its previous conclusion.¹²

The reports do not provide a full episode schedule beyond the June 2 restart. They also do not confirm the artist lineup for the first revived episode, the broadcast time, the MC lineup, or whether specific viewer participation systems will continue or change. Under the current source material, those details remain unavailable.

The comeback also arrives with a stated international ambition. The production-side statement quoted by Yonhap refers to a “global music show,” while KPOPSTARS characterized the revived The Show as returning after seven months of silence and being repositioned in the global K-pop landscape.¹³

The Show’s June 2, 2026 broadcast restart is therefore the central confirmed development: the program is returning under its existing name, moving to SBS LIFE, and entering a new production arrangement involving BIGC after an approximately seven-month absence from television.¹²
