On May 14, KBS and Lee Ki-taek's agency, KeyEast, confirmed in a phone call with Star Today, "It is true that Lee Ki-taek is joining '2 Days 1 Night' as a new member."

'2 Days 1 Night' is KBS's flagship variety program and has been airing since 2007. Currently, Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, Lee Joon, and DinDin appear as regular members.

This season is a spinoff of the series, directed by Jeon Chaeyoung (who helped with the production of seasons 2 and 3) instead of the usual PD Hyun Jeongwan (who is busy teaming up with Dongmin making his game). Both old (from GOB as well as other survival shows) and new players are set to appear and compete in a "team warfare system".

The most handsome doll-like boy ends up with no girl. As soon as he enters everyone goes like OHHH GOD I WANT TO KNOW HIM. But somehow he makes weird decisions and ends up all alone lol.

(This is just what I have seen and thought). Ofcourse it's not hard and fast rule

What do you guys think about the show's constant use of A.I, it's been going on for months now and in the latest episode they even made a script, song etc with A.I. They kept on praising A.I which is so upsetting to me, I wonder what you guys think?

Kim Jongmin, Lee Sangmin, Kim Jongkook and Kim Junho getting married last year was a huge blow to the show. Congrats to them, but now the show's just a shadow of its former self. There still some guys in there who's fun to watch like Heechul, Jinhyuk, Heo Kyungwan and Im Wonhee but it's sad and a bit desperate for them to bring back these married guys just to get eyeballs in the show.

Like why would I watch that fart machine Kim Junho on this show again? (He's on the latest Ep. 492) I'm sick and tired of the guy's segments for like 3 years being unmanly, lazy, and just eating all the time each episode. He's married, GTFO of the show already. Jimin could've done better tbh.

And why the hell the new members can't stick for more than 3 episodes? Like that FT Island vocalist showed up in like 2 episodes and dipped. Never heard of him again. Jang Geunseuk was introduced as a new cast member, ate some spicy noodle and then he's gone to Six Singles under One Roof. Kim Youngchul had her sister on the show as a new panel member, did a blind date that tbh seems very scripted and then he's gone for a year now.

Who the hell was that divorced guy with the braids who kept appearing for like 3 straight episodes and then nowhere to be found now? Lol. Also, the big Ssireum wrestler from Physical Asia. He was featured on 1 episode winning the championship then what happened to him? All of these people's segments would've been perfect for I Live Alone instead. Like I literally feel I'm watching I Live Alone whenever there's new guys being introduced as new members.

I used to love this show and in my opinion its peak was during 2021-2022 specifically Bakgoon's (the good military guy) storyline. From being homeless, finding a new apartment, experiencing hotel food, fun adventures, introducing her fiancee and ultimately getting married. His story is the perfect example for what the show is all about (props to Sangmin for helping him build a new life) and after that, the curve is pretty much downward from there and they never really got the magic back.

The last heartwarming episode I can remember was Heo Kyungwan's date with the beautiful doctor. I love that episode and anyone who'd watch it will be endeared. Probably the best one in the more recent years. Kyungwan at this point is one of the most consistent guys in the show and props to him for sticking around and showing up in almost every episode.

All in all, though I lost some fondness on the show now, I still try to skim and watch some segments of it. Probably coz of Im Wonhee and tbh he's like the sole reason now why I still watch. I've watch him on this show since 2018 and I'm still rooting for him to find the right woman and experience happiness in the end. He's a good man and he deserves it.

I spend most of my free time binge watching variety shows and now that it's my vacation, i'm going crazy cause i literally cannot find anything to watch. I'm currently updated in the latest episodes of Fresh off the sea in Calape, Six Singles Under One Roof, running man and rots. Manito club, whenever possible, and the village barber used to be on my list but those shows already ended.

I favor shows that is restaurant setup, when celebrities do other jobs for real like the village barber (but I'm really open to anything). I'm not into competition or survivals, idols own variety shows ( i only watched my favs shows), and i already know all the long running shows so please don't bother reccomending those. Fyi I don't watch shows if there's no high quality video in the internet available of that variety show (sorry I just literally can't 🫠).

So pleaseeee i hope to get some recommendations of shows that you think i might not have watched or is really underrated. I thank y'all from the deep of my heart😮‍💨 i really bored.

DESCRIPTION:
Follow Park Seo-joon, Jung Yoo-mi, and Choi Woo-shik as they travel across South Korea with no prior knowledge of their destinations, accommodations, or transportation. An original spontaneous, no-notice travel concept with new twists, can they get by with only a budget of 100,000 won per person?

Posting the weekly thread myself since u/bkryze hasn't posted his/her weekly I Live Alone post.

Although I enjoyed the Fun run, I think a single (+-45min) segment would've been good enough. We had the best part (them doing everything but running) last week imo. It was funny that they bought lottery tickets and discussed sharing profits and not disappearing, and then it turns out Dowoon was not on the commentary panel + >!dropped out the Fun run team!<.

For the Bum-June segment it was good that they didn't solely focus on his bread-loving persona and we got some fencing action and house remodeling. Code Kunst was really witty with pointing out that Hyunmoo and SungHwan were digging their graves by criticizing the TXT member and everybody caught on quickly.

The (bluetooth) food link between Sung Hwan and Shin Young has also been a nice development, I hope they meet up in a future episode as the new foodies (now that there's no Palm Oil Family anymore).

For a few years, I've been obsessed with shows like "The Great Escape", "Girls' High School Mystery Class" etc. Unfortunately, I've run out of shows to watch that match the feels of these shows. I was wondering if anyone could recommend their favorites.

These are all the shows I've watched already:

- The Great Escape all seasons

- Girls' High School Mystery Class all seasons

- Society Game season 1

- Agents of Mystery all seasons

- Busted all seasons

- Devil's Plan all seasons

- Crime Scene

- The Zone all seasons

- Apartment 404

The variety show "Noona Is A Woman To Me", which puts older women and younger men's romances front and center, is returning for Season 2.

KBS announced on Apr 30 that Season 2 of "Noona Is A Woman To Me" will premiere on May 23 at 22:40 (KST). As Season 1 garnered attention last year for its romantic narratives that transcended age differences, anticipation for the follow-up season continues.

The program depicts the process of women who have put off dating to focus on work and careers meeting and building relationships with men who are honest about their feelings regardless of age.

Season 1 attracted attention by featuring couples with a gap of up to 12 years. While addressing societal views on age differences and realistic issues, the show resonated with viewers through its authentic emotional narratives.

Season 2 focuses on expanding on this trend. The production team has announced a more diverse cast and relationship structures, stating that unpredictable plot developments will unfold. In particular, the even hotter and deeper romances are expected to deliver not only intense excitement but also a level of immersion unlike anything seen before.

There are also changes to the MC lineup. Model Han Hye-jin and singer Jang Woo-young are returning from Season 1, and DinDin is joining the cast for the first time. DinDin previously garnered attention by confessing an anecdote about receiving "tough love" as a child, revealing that he was beaten by his older sisters to the tune of the song "Square's Dream". The contrasting perspectives and reactions that the three will create are considered a key point to watch.

Attention is focused on whether Season 2 of "Noona Is A Woman To Me", which will once again explore the emotions and realities surrounding relationships between older women and younger men, can maintain the buzz generated by the previous season.

KBS 2TV's "Noona Is A Woman To Me" Season 2, featuring an even more intense and profound romance between an older woman and a younger man, will premiere on May 23 at 22:40 (KST).

Guys I don’t understand why people are saying that if the person they like is a money catcher they’ll never speak to them again. I promise I’ve tried to use critical thinking skills but I’m still confused lmao. There’s no contract that binds them from dating after the show is there?

If I were on the show and I fell for a money catcher and I could tell we were really falling for each other I wouldn’t even be phased. Yes it’d sting that they got the money but I feel like they’d even eventually use some on me or help themselves so we could have a better life? Idk I just don’t understand the big deal. I also watch love island and I know how there’s a big prize for the couple at the end if they get together or someone out of the couple chooses if they split it or not. That situation I could understand because they could’ve played tf out of you then. But love catcher I feel is different you go on these dates you learn about each other because there’s a lot of one on one time given.

Idk I was also this confused after watching “Is she the wolf?” They act like it’s the biggest sin to like each other after the ending. Can someone explain? 😩

please recommend something similar to my Fresh off the Sea [1,2,calape] & Jinny's Kitchen & Actors on Scotland [Jung Haein. Im Siwan] & Rented in Finland

Hey guys I’m a big variety show girl and have seen almost all of them but the funniest ones have to be dunia and zombieverse, I like that it’s survival/scripted and find it so funny when the characters get out of character. If anyone has recommendations for similar shows I’d deeply appreciate it. Like survival core but 50% of it, is scripted and the actors are very obviously trying not to break character. Side note: If you haven’t watched Dunia I highly suggest it my cheeks have been sore the past week.
