‘MZ wannabe icon’ IVE’s An Yu-jin is once again filling the living room with laughter.

An Yu-jin will appear on tvN entertainment show ‘Pyonpyon Earth Arcade 3’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Earcade 3’), which will be aired for the first time today(the 25th).

‘Jiraksil 3’ is a new concept hybrid multiverse action adventure variety show about four warriors traveling through time and space to catch a rabbit from the moon that escaped to Earth.Ahn Yu-jin transforms into a secret agent ‘Ahn Yu-myeong’ who, along with Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, and Lee Young-ji, tracks down Torongi who ran away with the Jade Emperor’s corporate card.

Ahn Yu-jin had already emerged as a ‘variety show blue chip’ through seasons 1 and 2 of ‘Jiraksil’.With her sparkling eyes that were hard to read, she created a fresh variety show character called ‘a madman with clear eyes ‘, and with her fantastic chemistry with PD Na Young-seok, she even earned the nickname’ Na Yu-jin ‘, PD Na’s variety show daughter.

Especially in ‘Jiraksil 1’, when PD Na confused ‘알잘탁깔센’ with ‘알잘깔딱센’ during a quiz on trending words, he shouted “Isn’t it AL잘탁깔센? 땡!” , causing a lot of laughter.In ‘Jiraksil 2’, when someone called himself ‘An Yu-jin’, he firmly responded “An Yu…Jin…? Yu-jin! An Yu-jin can’t be!” , giving birth to the meme ‘Chisungppae’.

As the show has been a hot topic every season and has built up a solid fan base, there has been a lot of interest in this season as well, and with the recent release of teaser and highlight videos, anticipation for the first broadcast is growing even higher.

In the video, Ahn Yu-jin makes people laugh by going back and forth between her idol self and her entertainment self, and when Lee Eun-ji starts a skit by smelling a flower and saying, “There’s poison in this,” she goes a step further and makes an exaggerated expression, leaving a deep impression by not being afraid of making a mess of things.

Regarding this, Ahn Yu-jin said through her agency Starship Entertainment ahead of the first episode, “I am honored to be able to work with ‘Jiraksil’ once again.This time, I had fun filming thanks to my sisters and the production team.I hope Dive(official fan club name)and the viewers enjoy it too.Please show lots of love and interest.”

Ahn Yu-jin has been recognized for her performance in entertainment programs including ‘Jiraksil’, winning the ‘U+ WHY NOT ‘award at the’ 3rd Blue Dragon Series Awards ‘and the Popularity Award at the’ 60th Baeksang Arts Awards ‘.She has also solidified her position as the music industry’s representative ‘entertainment idol’ by winning the Female Entertainer of the Year category at the ‘Brand of the Year’ awards for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024.


In addition to this, Ahn Yu-jin, who is doing well in her main job, achieved a ‘perfect all-kill’ on major domestic music charts with ‘REBEL HEART’, the pre-released song from Ive’s third mini-album ‘IVE EMPATHY’ released in February, and achieved the feat of winning 15 music show crowns(‘REBEL ATTITUDE’ won 11 crowns, ‘ATTITUDE’ won 4 crowns).

Through OST Part 2 ‘Sunny Day’ of the tvN drama ‘Someday, I Will Be a Wise Resident’ released on the 13th, she participated in singing a drama OST for the first time since her debut, and is actively participating in many activities.As such, people are looking forward to the future steps of Ahn Yu-jin, who is known as a ‘genius in her profession’ in everyday life and a ‘confident trend’ with a talent for variety shows that rivals that of a comedian.

Meanwhile, tvN ‘Pyonpyon Earth Arcade Season 3’ starring Ahn Yu-jin will premiere today(the 25th)at 8:40 PM.
