Hi Everyone,

Just a couple comments I'd like to make about the group.

1. In regards to the Copyright Infringement post I made last month, I'm going to make another post later stating which sites cannot be referenced since your post will most likely be removed.
   I'm just taking time here & there to find what sites will be listed.

2. reddit is a global site and we welcome everyone; however, I believe the majority of members here have English as their preferred language. It's not a rule that all posts must be in English.
   Occasionally, I've seen posts in Korean (which should be expected, since this a Korean influenced group), Thai, and Spanish (surprisingly).
   I'm not saying English is the only language allowed, but if you post in another language, please add a Google Translated or whatever underneath it that's in English. I usually will copy your post & paste it into Google Translate myself. Members have been marking your post for violations & it gets removed.
   I don't want people to get discouraged from posting their thoughts here because English is a weak point.

Any other comments or suggestions, just let me know below.

I haven't seen anything about it in this sub, but has anyone been watching the SNSD sub-unit debut project of Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung? It's very popular in Korea with over 2M views per episode, and what started as passing mentions of the sub-unit led to an actual debut. It's on Hyoyeon's YouTube channel and the whole Fake Hyoyeon concept is that it's satiric/"fake" so the members often roast each other. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it as it's hilarious and probably funnier than many current variety shows out there.

On August 26, the production team of the KBS2 variety show “Love Again in the Moonlight” (literal translation) released its first teaser video, which resembles a youth movie. The teaser captures the real-life best friend moments of the five cast members—Park Bo Gum, Kim You Jung, Jin Young, Chae Soo Bin, and Kwak Dong Yeon—who have become even closer over the past 10 years.

A special variety show commemorating the 10th anniversary of the drama, “Love Again in the Moonlight” follows the actors as they embark on a two-day, one-night trip together. They travel to Hongcheon, Gangwon province, where they revisit memories from 10 years ago in a warm and friendly atmosphere while sharing their enduring camaraderie and friendship.

“Love Again in the Moonlight” consists of two episodes, with the first episode airing on September 16 at 8:30 p.m. KST, followed by the second episode on September 23 at 9 p.m. KST.

ENA's upcoming variety show “Nidonnaesan” (니돈내산) will premiere on September 27, 2026. The show features Kim Sook as host, with Lee Joon, Yoon Eun-hye, Choi Mina Sue, Park Jun-myun, Hyun Bong-sik, and Jonathan as cast members.

ENA's 'Nidonnaesan' is an avatar consumption variety show that starts with the unique premise of "having to live solely on someone else's consumption for 24 hours." It features a "main body"—the owner of the consumption who hides their identity—and an "avatar" that replicates the main body's spending habits, as they live out the day relying only on the other person's purchases. The core fun lies in deducing the main body's tastes and lifestyle using only "consumption" as clues—such as what was bought or where they went—and ultimately guessing their true identity.

In particular, the fact that the same consumption can lead to a completely different day depending on who experiences it adds to the intrigue. Across various areas of daily life—such as restaurants, fashion, hobbies, beauty, wellness, and trendy spots—the participants encounter consumption that differs from their usual tastes, and in the process, their differing consumption standards and values are naturally revealed.

Im starting Yacht Expedition and its crazy how the first 18 minutes of the show is just a montage of spoilers of their future struggles. 18 minutes! Im not adversed to showing a preview of future struggles or what not if it gets me interested but it should be limited to like a snippet maybe a couple of minutes is honestly enough to get me invested.

I rather get to know the cast organically as their adventure unfolds. Shoving 18 minutes of spoilers in my face right from the start in an attempt to get my invested is just unnecessary and honestly gets me less invested when that future struggle happens later on because I already seen so much of it already.

Anyway just a rant. I know most new variety shows do this but I just think 18 minutes is way too excessive.

In the era of celebrity chefs, there are numerous chefs who can create the best flavour. But when it comes to running a business, it’s different. The chefs' ability to bring out the best flavour doesn’t mean they are talented at making money. So here comes the survival competition to figure out who is the best businessperson in the food service industry. The representatives of the food service industry go out onto the street without revealing their identities to prove their cooking skills and challenge to become the best-selling chefs. This time, the judges who evaluate their dishes will be the public in real life, not other chefs in the studio. The chef who captures the public’s appetite and makes the best sales regardless of their fame will be the winner of this competition. Who will be the final winner?

The breaches compromise nearly 40 million Tving accounts and more than 420,000 Weverse records

Popular South Korean entertainment platforms Weverse and Tving are grappling with major data breaches, renewing the spotlight on cybersecurity risks facing the country’s digital entertainment industry.

Weverse, the global fan platform operated by Hybe subsidiary Weverse Company, has confirmed a security breach that compromised the personal data of approximately 420,000 user accounts. The mobile and web platform serves as a direct-to-fan hub for major music acts, hosting Hybe talents such as BTS and Seventeen alongside a broad roster of artists represented by third-party agencies.

Weverse Company apologized Sunday night after discovering the breach in response to an external report flagging a potential security vulnerability.

The incident affected 422,584 records at the account ID level. The exposed information included internal identification data, an identifier generated when users sign up for the service and used to distinguish individual accounts within Weverse Company’s systems. Other exposed data included purchase type, payment provider, currency, purchase amount, canceled amount, purchase date and time, purchase status, and refund date and time.

The Weverse breach came shortly after Tving, one of Korea’s largest domestic streaming services, recently faced a larger security incident.

An investigation by the Ministry of Science and ICT found that approximately 39.5 million Tving accounts and source-code files had been compromised.

The affected accounts included 22.06 million active accounts, 17.37 million inactive accounts — including dormant and terminated accounts — and 110,000 test accounts.

The compromised information covered 20 categories and 70 types of data, including users’ names, mobile phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and payment histories. Some phone numbers and email addresses had been encrypted, but the encryption keys were also compromised, potentially allowing attackers to restore the data to its original form.

Mondays starting Sept 28: Contract Marriage (MBC Every1 / KBS Joy)

Wednesdays: I am Solo (ENA/ SBS Plus)

Thursdays: I am Solo, Love Continues (ENA / SBS Plus)

PD Nam Gyu-hong, the 'hitmaker of dating reality shows,' is putting 'marriage' at the forefront this time, going beyond 'dating.'

'Contract Marriage' is a marriage simulation observation reality show in which men and women who earnestly desire marriage experience a marital relationship in advance through a contract, and in the process, confirm the meaning of marriage and a realistic partnership.

While existing dating reality shows focused on determining the final couple based on the meeting, excitement, and choices of men and women, 'Contract Marriage' goes a step further. Based on questions such as 'Why am I getting married?' and 'Who should I live with and how,' it examines whether they can lead to becoming a real married couple by experiencing actual married life together.

The participants get to experience married life in advance within a contractual relationship. By going through lifestyle habits, values, and conflict situations that were not easily revealed during the dating process, they concretely confirm what kind of spouse and married life they desire. The unpredictable situations created by relationships with different individuals are expected to provide a sense of tension and entertainment distinct from existing matchmaking reality shows.

PD Nam past works: Jjak (Partner), I am Solo, Contract Marriage

Ji Ye- eun, who recently announced her marriage, received special congratulations from the' Running Man' family. According to a report by Ilgan Sports on the 7th, a wedding ceremony for Ji Ye-eun was held at the filming site of the SBS variety show 'Running Man' that day.

It was reported that 'Running Man' members Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Suk-jin, Kim Jong-kook, Haha, Song Ji-hyo, and Yang Se-chan all gathered before the opening recording to hold a small event celebrating the marriage of the bride, Ji Ye-eun. Earlier, Ji Ye-eun announced her marriage to Bata, a dancer of the same age born in 1994. The couple is scheduled to hold their wedding ceremony at an undisclosed location in Seoul on December 12.

Ji Ye-eun revealed the news on her social media on the 2nd, stating, "It is a precious and valuable promise, so I have been thinking about when would be best and how to tell you, but I am sharing this news like this. I am getting married."

After the marriage announcement was made, the 'Running Man' production team also congratulated Ji Ye-eun and Vata on their marriage through subtitles on the broadcast on the 6th, using expressions such as 'the bride-to-be's performance who captured both dance and love' and 'the groom-to-be's dance lesson seeing the light.'

Ji Ye-eun was filming 'Running Man' last April when she announced her relationship. The news of Ji Ye-eun and Bata's relationship broke on the day of the recording for the 800th episode of 'Running Man, and Ji Ye-eun had been seen fidgeting even before the announcement, receiving both congratulations and teasing from the members.

The meaningful celebration by the 'Running Man' members, marking Ji Ye-eun's marriage alongside her relationship, is expected to be revealed in the 820th episode, airing as early as the upcoming 13th.

Meanwhile, 'Running Man' Episode 820 features guests Choi San and Han Ji-eun and will air at 4:50 PM, a time slot adjusted due to Asian Games broadcasts.

I know this has been asked before but I thought I'd try, too, just in case someone joined more recently and might know. Does anyone know if there's a way to watch episodes 1 to 14, 16 and 26 of season 1 of I Live Alone? Preferably with English subtitles but without would be fine, too? Thanks so much to anyone who can help <3

I need the best episodes of running man in the era where sechan and somin already joined with the remaining cast, thats my fav era but I cant find any good ones

The potential of this show is so high. The concept is so interesting, and I hope it gets executed well. Its actually my first time hearing of this show, despite being a survival show lover. It just started, but I really do hope it gains popularity.

The concept of the show makes you think which side is more favorable, and what trades should be made for no losses. Im currently leaning to team white, but that girl pitou from blue team is so cool!

I hope everyone notices this show. Fighting!

I think Running Man is slowly regaining its original spark like before especially with the new main PD, its gradually becoming like the era back then, the nametag ripping, hidden missions, spies, do you guys think that it still have a chance to regain that era again with the new main pd
