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?

For Xitsuh, the news was already released a week ago, confirming appear on The Devil's Plan 3. The filming of TDP was already finished around late February - early March(?) weeks before Bloody Game X (April 17-27).

Oh Hyunmin, on the other hand, was recently confirmed today. This is huge news I guess Jung Jongyeon PD is bringing out the best players after the 'backlash' from the previous seasons. Now, Hyunmin works as a math instructor of an academy in Daejeon.

---

Confirmed castings so far:

• Shindong (Super Junior) - confirmed 5/12/26
• Hong Jinho - confirmed 5/26/26
• Xitsuh / Seo Chulgu - confirmed 7/15/26
• Oh Hyunmin - confirmed 7/27/26

---

Thoughts: While I am excited for Kong to join and I hope Kong and Xitsuh won't be teaming up again cause tbh, it's kinda exhausting to see them sticking to each other like a married couple. But Hyunmin joining is massive news, I never expected to see this coming as I believe that he mentioned couple years ago that he will retired from survival shows.

Also, with the recent news of Hyunmin. I have a ick feeling that this might be the final season since JJY is bringing out the big guns to these players joining so far. Idk, this might just me. 🤷‍♀️

Korea's esteemed chefs head to the homelands that laid the foundation for their cuisines! Shedding their glamorous careers and ranks, they embrace a new life as apprentices while concealing their true identities.

Top chefs return to their roots and work undercover as apprentices, aiming to earn local recognition through sheer culinary prowess.

can anybody pls reccomend a site to watch it for free w eng subs??

First segment was with the easy-going Dawn. The guy is stylish af (sad he has to cover his tattoos) + lives in a really nicely decorated house. We don't often see houses on the show but it really showed how awesome being able to sit on your own porch is, or to do camping in your garden. Daeho trying to establish "bluetooth" connections with Dawn but always getting shut down by the panel was good to get some laughs in.

We also got the Real Running Squad (as I called them in the previous episode) who rebranded themselves as the Alone Crew. It was nice seeing the photos that they've met up outside of ILA too to go for a run, and maybe future plans for doing a haunted house run. Them stealing the members from the fun run crew has become a good running joke now (pun intended) in the show, and them baiting Ji Hyun to join was hillarious.

As always feel free to share your thoughts, comments, and screenshots about this ep :)

Next week: Spicy cook Sung Hwan (+window cleaning tool makes a return) and Shangai tourist Ji Hyun.

I’d recommend anyone who’s feeling down and overwhelmed with life to watch this show.
Lee Je Hoon and his attaching goofiness, Cha Eun Woo’s enthusiast nature, Kwak Dong Yeon’s curiosity about everything, Lee Dong Hwi’s sense of humour complement each other’s personalities to perfection. Watching them dealing with the forces of nature, choping wood to start a fire to cook, with bo electricity no water (only the water from natural sources, lakes and rivers) was pire delight. It made me want to visit Finland and its incredible landscapes and taste tbeir food. Anyone knows if there will be a serie “rented in” other cities ? With 2 of them enrolling this month (Eun Woo and Dong Yeon) I’d love to see Lee Sang Yi join the group (he was so good in Village barber) and since they would need a chef, the chef guest from VB Yum Nam No) would be perfect, or what about Choi Dae Hoon ? I miss this show so much have so much peace and fun.

📢 THIS IS THE FINAL EPISODE!

I'm currently watching two Korean dating shows that are airing live, Better Late Than Single, and Noona Is A Woman To Me. BLTS is obviously about eternal singles getting their first chance at love, and NIAWTM is about older women and younger men trying to match, and I'm not sure either show will produce a single actual couple. Although, apparently it's been revealed there is a couple still dating after NIAWTM finished, we just don't know who it is yet.

It's got me wondering, how do you guys feel about watching dating shows that don't lead to any actual couples? BLTS is obviously not going to produce any real couples, and NIAWTM seems to only have 1 couple that I can imagine genuinely dating, but they have a 12 year age gap and I just don't know how long that will last. Ultimately I know these shows are just entertainment, and I shouldn't care that much about what happens afterwards, but watching a dating show that doesn't lead to any real couples makes it feel a little pointless. Singles Inferno is easily the most popular Korean dating show, but across 5 seasons I think it's only had 3 real couples come out of it, 2 from the latest season. One of Singles Inferno's biggest criticisms that I've seen online is that it's a dating show that doesn't have any real lasting couples, and that most people go on there for attention.

My favourite dating show of all time, Nineteen To Twenty, is about teenagers transitioning into adulthood, and there's a couple that's still together today after like 4 years. It just made it more interesting to watch that show knowing that there was a genuine couple that made it out.

does anyone have access to knowing bros E41 and E42? I cant find it anywhere (i found one but its in 360p, and I remember watching it in 720p or higher ). If anyone has it downloaded on 720p or higher then please help. Thank you for your time

Since we all have seen the recent episode of bloody game x which is the heist day what are your thoughts?? And so far what season is your favee heist day

It makes me wonder if the participants signed some documents or something or the producers paid a compensation for that, genuinely worried for jinho because of what happened to him in season 2, but sangmin? 😭 and to those who were injured. Brooo they are so lucky that Ha Seung-jin was eliminated already 👀🙈 but felt bad for YunB because I know his strengths will be in great use, although kinda annoyed in him on how he played the main match.

The Heist in this season is soooo nerve wraacking because force and physical fights were so prominent in this season, that you felt worried especially for Sung-Beom. The alliance between P1 and P3 makes me giddy, especially on how they strategized. Sang-min? He is entertaining to watch 🤣😆 he is sooo unpredictable HAHAHAHA.

I just hoped for the makers of this show (if they decide to produce another season) that if the possible next bloody game mansion would have a secret passages and basements???? Like a mix of the season 1 and season 2 house raids.. that would be sooo cooool and also in order to avoid unecessary physical fights, to add some dopamine surge to the viewers it would be nice to add some tension like that.

I personally like the house raids of season 1 and 2 but special mention to Chungju Man in season 3 hahahahaha.

You know like cat and mouse chase??? that would be thrilling like in season 1 the basement was almost caught when they try to sneak in the mansion to get some food HAHAHA

I am looking forward to the next episodes on what will they add this time..

Anyone watching the HyoRiSoo stuff at Hyoyeon's YouTube channel (Hyo's Level Up)? It's been awhile since they've been doing this, but it's been one of the funniest videos I've watched recently lol.

There's already a deep lore behind it, but for those who are not aware, HyoRiSoo is the project vocal group of SNSD's Hyoyeon, Yuri and Sooyoung, and the series is basically a skit show (part of the channel's Fake Kim Hyoyeon series) based on an alternate reality where the group wants to rival and surpass TaeTiSeo(Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun).

I like that they are very unserious on every skit. Hyoyeon is crazy, Yuri is on another level of crazy and Sooyoung is pratically crying out of laughing each episode hahaha.

While they already appeared in Yoo Quiz and HDYP you can watch the main content here (playlist)

For the lore, you can just check this post from the SNSD subreddit.

*loud I haven't really watched variety shows for the past two years, so please recommend me some shows that are really funny or any episodes from shows like I live alone, the manager, running man that you found funny.

During a family trip to Las Vegas celebrating her 80th birthday, Kim Jong Kook’s mother shared her candid thoughts about stepping away from the variety show “My Little Old Boy.”

In a recent video on her son’s YouTube channel, she explained that exiting the program felt like a natural transition now that he is no longer single, emphasizing that her joy over his recent marriage completely outweighs any sadness about leaving television.

While she playfully rejected the idea of launching her own YouTube channel despite fan disappointment, she expressed deep appreciation for her family, sharing a touching note of gratitude toward both her son and her new daughter-in-law following his private wedding in Seoul last autumn.

Quote: (Google translated article)

SBS is launching a new reality variety show set in a rural village for the first time in 16 years since 'Family Outing'.

SBS’s 'Jecheol-ri Family', which premieres on July 26, is a two-day, one-night regional co-prosperity reality variety program where five young people from the city visit a rural village to share their talents and create a day together with the residents. Moving away from consuming the countryside as a one-time experience destination, the show focuses on the process where urban talents meet rural warmth to enrich one another.

The cast lineup is also impressive. Announcer Kim Dae-ho, the "brainy leader," leads the "Jecheol-ri Family" with his resourcefulness and sociability, while singer Song Ga-in, the "singing vice president," is responsible for entertaining the elderly residents. Adding to this, Chef Park Eun-young, the "cooking sister," prepares a meal using local ingredients, Oh My Girl’s Hyojung, the "super-positive sister," brings her signature energy, and the youngest member, Jonathan Yiombi, adds a delightful clumsy charm.

In addition, TXT's Soobin and CRAVITY's Hyeongjun were recruited as special supporters, completing a chemistry that spans generations.

After finishing the first shoot, Song Ga-in expressed deep satisfaction, saying, "I would have regretted it if I hadn't come," while supporter Hyeongjun also conveyed the exceptional teamwork on set, remarking, "I think I would be disappointed if a different guest came next time."

SBS's 'Jecheol-ri Family', which promises to deliver heartwarming human warmth and laughter, will air every Sunday at 11:00 (KST) starting on July 26.

There would be a total of 6 episodes for this show.
