A fresh travel variety show exploring South Korea’s rural countryside is set to debut soon!

On August 5, ENA revealed, “Yang Se Chan, Lee Eun Ji, Lee Yi Kyung, Song Geon Hee, and Jung Dong Won have been selected as the MCs for the new show ‘City Z Goes to the Countryside’ (literal title). The show will premiere on September 8 at 8:30 p.m. KST.”

“City Z Goes to the Countryside” is described as a “hiptro” (hip and retro) variety show, featuring celebrities popular with Gen Z as they experience the charms and challenges of rural life.

The show will not only star the five MCs but will also include special guest appearances from urban Gen Z stars each week. These guests will attempt to adapt to rural life while still maintaining their own version of “hip.”

The production team commented, “Prepare for a non-stop comedy feast as these city-born individuals navigate and grapple with rural culture for the first time. We hope this show becomes a new family favorite, bringing together viewers of all generations for Sunday evening entertainment.”

“City Z Goes to the Countryside” is scheduled to premiere on September 8 at 8:30 p.m. KST. Stay tuned!
