Hi Huneybees,
Channel U has collaborated with Korea’s CJ E&M to bring us a new exciting program this February! MediaCorp artiste - Julie Tan (陈欣淇) is joined by her K-pop friends as they show us around in the Korea reality travel program - A Date with K-pop Stars <<我和韩星有个约会>>.
This is definitely not your typical Korean travel program where you will be shown the usual tourist attractions. Julie will be living with Dal Shabet at their dormitory to experience the Korean culture and live the Korean way of life.
Other K-pop stars such as Rainbow, Teen Top, Hwang Kwang Hee from ZE:A, Moon Hee Joon, Saerom, A-Jax, Clara, Jewelry etc, would also bring her around their favourite hunts, help Julie clear her bucket-list of things to do such as eating live octopus and wearing the Korean towel bun or ‘sheep head’ at the Jjimjilbang. Julie even gets to catch a glimpse of her K-pop idol G-dragon on the trip!
At the media preview, I got to catch the first episode and it was a refreshing change to the local TV programs. The show is in English, Chinese and Korean, totally no dubbing and it reminded me quite a bit of "SHINee Hello Baby", where the stars are so real and like Julie had shared, everything was free flow, no special scripts and also no specific editing was done. So, you get to watch Julie and the K-pop stars in their "true colours".
The places that were introduced in the first episode already got me intrigued (I don't want to overshare and spoil it for you). I've been planning for my upcoming Korea trip and I bet those tips will come in handy. I can't wait to catch the next episode. Don't forget to stay tuned to A Date with K-pop Stars <<我和韩星有个约会>>!
A Date with K-pop Stars <<我和韩星有个约会>> premieres on 21st February, every Friday, at 9pm.
