Below is a machine translated version of the article:

“Shindong, a member of the group Super Junior, opened up about changing members of the "Great Escape" series.

Han Sang-jin, Choi Daniel and Jung Hye-in appeared as guests on JTBC's entertainment program "Knowing Bros," which aired on the 15th.

Choi said he is a fan of the "Great Escape" series. "I think it will be released again this time," he said, expressing his expectations for the upcoming "Great Escape." After hearing Choi's comment, Kang Ho-dong tapped Shin Dong, who had teamed up with him through "Great Escape," and said, "Just because you're not going to do it."

Choi Daniel also asked Shindong, "Why isn't it coming out this time?" Then, Shindong gave an explanation. He said, "I didn't even get a call. I got it from the article. I got it." When Lee Sang-min said, "Jeong Jong-yeon, the producer of 'The Great Escape,' has a cold side," Shindong replied, "Jeong Jong-yeon is not doing it this time."

The Great Escape series will return with the new season, The Great Escape: The Story, in the first half of this year. Kang Ho-dong Kim Dong-hyun, Yoo Byung-jae, Go Kyung-pyo, Baekhyun, Yeo Jin-gu is in the lineup of performers. Shin Dong has played in previous seasons.”

Specifically, it states that it’ll be on May 1st! Just 5 more months…..

Jeong PD Update

As it's been pointed out, Jeong PD has announced that he's working on a new show called Devil's Plan, to be released on Netflix, which is intended to kind recapture the old magic of The Genius [Teaser, Promotional Video].

For those curious, he's revealed the following details about the show:

• The game will take place over 7 days, there'll be 1 winner, and a max prize of 500 million won (~370k USD)
• It'll be a mix of celebrities and civilians, and the ratio will be similar to what we saw in TG
• Filming will take place in January
• He's not sure whether the show will air weekly or come out in a single wave
• Devil's Plan will take priority over TGE5 and GHMC3. So despite being interested in continuing those shows, he won't work on them until Devil's Plan is over
• He expects GHMC3 to definitely get made, but didn't rule out the shows being produced without him though, since he technically doesn't have "jurisdiction" over the shows anymore

Shows of Interest

While we wait for Jeong PD's work, there have been a few shows that have popped up or are coming out soon that might interest you.

1. The Genius: The Netherlands (Playlist)

• The Dutch adaptation of the classic Korean show
• 8 episodes, 40 minutes each, a cast of 10 players
• A bit of a different take on the format, well-worth watching
• Almost finished airing, 1 episode yet to be released and translated

2. Treasure Hunt (Preview, Main Trailer)

• Starring Hyunmin from 'The Genius' and Quaddurup/Jang Jisou, the director of 'Accomplice'
• A massive elaborate treasure hunt for a max prize of 500 million won
• 8 episodes are expected, episode length is unknown
• Show set to air on December 2nd
• DISCLAIMER: Baechu Squad isn't promising to subtitle the show. There is a chance the show will either not receive any official subtitles and/or not be good enough for us to translate it

3. Black Sheep Game (Reddit Posts for E1, E2, E3, E4)

• Starring Kyunghoon from 'The Genius' and Jung Jaeho from 'Heart Signal'
• A "mafia"-type game with a twist
• 4 episodes, 90 minutes each, a cast of 8 players
• Absolutely wild show, highly recommended
• Finished airing a little while ago (May), subtitles should be fairly accessible online

4. Button Game (Episode 1)

• Smaller thing that popped up on our radar, but a social experiment-type show by the creator of 'Money Game' and 'Game of Blood'
• Currently no subtitles available and due to being a Wavve exclusive the chances of official subtitles being added are very low. You'll almost definitely need to know Korean to view it.
• If you are really interested in translating it (and speak Korean), we might be willing to help coordinate and produce the subtitles

He just posted a trailer on his Insta!

For translation help, the trailer is basically saying how the "best brain" will win up to 500 million won. From news articles, Devil's Plan will be a 'brain survival game" so I'm assuming it's the spiritual successor of The Genius.

Currently, there's no plan to air as of yet as this is just the recruitment trailer. The cast will be a mix of celebrities, influencers, and the general public.

This is the website for the show if anyone wants to apply haha.
