"Squid Game" is undoubtedly the hottest Korean drama this year.
It took only 4 days to reach the top of the Netflix global rankings.
After that, it became the Netflix ratings champion with a strong momentum, which was also the first Korean drama in Netflix's history to reach the ratings championship.
Squid Games
After "Squid Game" became popular all over the world, not only did the surrounding sales sell out, but the offline experience hall was also full.
Korean variety artists who have always been keen have naturally noticed such a hot phenomenon, so they took advantage of the situation to launch the variety version of "Squid Game".
According to Korean media reports, Kakao Entertainment will produce a survival talent show "Survival Men and Women: A Divided World" and stage a variety show version of "Squid Game".
Surviving Men and Women: A Divided World
The rules of the game are as follows: In a completely isolated environment, male and female players are grouped into groups for a 10-day survival competition, and the winning team can receive a reward of 100 million won.
At present, the production team has issued invitations to healthy men and women over the age of 19, calling on those who dare to challenge themselves and have full enthusiasm to participate.
Surviving Men and Women: A Divided World Summoning Order
It is reported that "Survival Of Men and Women: A Divided World" is served by "Real Man" CP Kim Jong-min as the general PD, "Fake Man" CP Bae Chul-soon and "Wassup Man", "Straw Queen" CP Lee Kin-young co-served as the deputy PD, aiming to vividly record the fun of the reality show and the emotional changes of the cast, and is expected to start recording in November.
"Squid Game" Variety Edition "Survival Men and Women: Divided World"
Once "Surviving Men and Women: A Divided World" was officially announced, it quickly triggered a hot discussion on the Korean Network.
Therefore, a Korean online research company immediately seized the hot spot and surveyed 1,000 men and women aged 20 to 60, if "Squid Game" is made into a variety version, which artist do you want to star the most?
According to the survey results, actor Lee Kwang-so defeated funny female artists Zhang Duyan (10.5%), "National MC" Jiang Hudong (9.4%) and other outstanding variety artists, with a vote rate of 16.8%, becoming the first place among the artists that netizens most want to participate in the variety version of "Squid Game".
Lee Kwang-so
Although Lee Kwang-so left the Korean variety show "Running Man" in June this year, he still deeply remained in the audience's mind such as funny, betrayal, moth, and bare hands.
In addition, the theme of the two issues of "Running Man" is related to "Squid Game", which also makes people more curious about what kind of performance Lee Kwang-so would have if he participated in the variety version of "Squid Game".
However, the probability of Lee Kwang-so starring in the variety version of "Squid Game" is almost negligible.
In February last year, Lee Kwang-so was in a car accident that left his right foot with a bare fracture and had to undergo surgery.
Although Lee Kwang-so only had a short break for two episodes, he actually left a sequelae, which also forced him to get off "Running Man".
Not long ago, Lee Kwang-so had a second naked foot surgery, and the injury was still recovering.
In addition, Lee Kwang-so has decided to star in the Korean drama "The Killer's Shopping List" with Kim Seol-hyun.
It is understood that "The Killer's Shopping List" is expected to start filming in November, overlapping with the filming period of "Surviving Men and Women: A Divided World".
It can be seen that Lee Kwang-so will most likely not participate in the variety version of "Squid Game".
The reason why Lee Kwang-so was selected as the artist who most wanted to participate in the variety show version of "Squid Game" was because everyone missed him for participating in the variety show.
I don't know how long it will take to see Lee Kwang-so starring in a variety show, and I only hope that that day is not too late.
So, do you miss the variety artist Lee Kwang-so?
