Knowing Bros (Korean: 아는 형님; RR: Aneun Hyeongnim), also known as Men on a Mission or Ask Us Anything, is a South Korean television entertainment program produced by SM C&C that premiered on December 5, 2015, and currently airs on Saturdays at JTBC. Although the show has taken on different formats in some episodes, the program features a high school classroom setting with the fixed cast – the titular "brothers" – acting as same-aged students. Guests arrive posing as visiting students from another school and are interviewed by the cast in a talk show segment; the program's second half usually features a variety segment, with the cast and guests taking of activities such as games, talent show, or improvisational acting.

Knowing Bros' current fixed cast includes Kang Ho-dong, Lee Soo-geun, Kim Young-chul, Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Heechul, Min Kyunghoon and Lee Sangmin; Hwang Chi-yeul and Kim Se-hwang were initial cast members in the program's first few episodes. Comedian Lee Jin-ho was added as a fixed cast member in episode 304 and he left after episode 454. Jang Sung-kyu and Shindong have appeared as recurring special guests by hosting the show's game segments. The show received several accolades during its run.
