Lee Je Hoon, Lee Dong Hwi, Kwak Dong Yeon, and Cha Eun Woo are entering a full-fledged hyper real analog survival period.

tvN‘s ‘Living in a Shared Room in Finland’, which will be aired for the first time on the 6th, is a program that captures the eccentric local life of city actors who end up living in a share house in a rural village in Finland without electricity, running water, or Wi-Fi. The production team pointed out some key points to watch a day before entering Finnish Lapland, home to the vast and beautiful nature.


● The chemistry between Lee Je Hoon, Lee Dong Hwi, Kwak Dong Yeon, and Cha Eun Woo

According to the production team, ‘Living in a Shared Room in Finland’ has garnered hot interest since the news of their departure due to the fresh encounter of actors from a city optimized for digital civilization, including Lee Je Hoon, Lee Dong Hwi, Kwak Dong Yeon, and Cha Eun Woo. In particular, the drama foreshadows the actors’ cheerful true colors that we couldn‘t see before.

Starting with the oldest brother Lee Je-hoon, who is new to living alone, Lee Dong-hwi, who is a master of renting a room, Kwak Dong-yeon, who is 100% natural at adapting to the local area, and Cha Eun-woo, a magnetic man who attracts everyone, the unique city boys build deep friendships while spending their daily lives eating, sleeping, and drinking in the Finnish countryside. Even in an unfamiliar environment where they have to solve everything themselves, the four actors’ cheerful bromance (special chemistry between men) that never ceases laughter and pranks when they are together foreshadows laughter.



● My neighbor is a wild bear?! An amazing analog local life that becomes one with nature

Lee Je-hoon, Lee Dong-hwi, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Cha Eun-woo begin a self-sufficient life in a rented room in Finnish Lapland without electricity, running water, or Wi-Fi. They have to find food themselves, light a fire, and fetch drinking water from the lake, and they have no choice but to rely on maps without a navigation system.

More than anything, the eco-friendly toilets they have never experienced before and the news of wild bears appearing further bewilder the City Boys. Will the four actors, isolated from the digital civilization, be able to safely adapt to the Finnish Lapland countryside? They wonder about the chaotic and delusional analog local life.


● The vast nature that seems to have no end

‘Living in a Shared Room in Finland’ presents the beauty of nature against the backdrop of Lapland, the northern roof of the Earth, even in Finland, which ranks first in the world‘s happiness index. The fantastic scenery of Lapland, with its beautiful lakes, forests, and wild animals, presents a whole new level of ‘eye feast’ to viewers.

In addition, the cheerful personalities of the Lapland landlords who readily gave their homes to the City Boys double the fun of watching. Attention is focused on the diverse lifestyles of the landlords who adapt to the given environment and overcome nature without running water, electricity, or internet. Also, attention is focused on the changes in the City Boys as they get along with the landlords and adapt to the lifestyle of the Laplanders.

‘Living in a Finnish Rent-a-Room’ will be first broadcast at 8:40 p.m. on the 6th.
