- ^ 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.
