Notes
- In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[1]
- No episodes were aired on June 12 due to news coverage on the 2018 DPRK-US Singapore Summit, on June 18 due to live coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Group F match between South Korea and Sweden, and on June 19 due to live coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Group H match between Columbia and Japan.
- No episodes were aired on June 26 due to live coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Group C match between Denmark and France, and on July 2 due to coverage of FIFA World Cup 2018 Round of 16 match between Brazil and Mexico. In return, four episodes were aired back-to-back on July 3.
