After a long time, a variety of ‘Seollal table settings’ will be served on the small screen. With at least 6 days of Seollal holidays approaching, a series of programs are waiting to please the eyes and ears of viewers.

Variety programs with ‘Family’ as their main theme will take the lead, and new pilot-style programs will fill the small screen, kicking out ‘Still water’ programs that used to be plagued by ‘Rehashes, third-season’ during the holiday season.

O‘I‘m a Newbie’
Shin Ae-ra will be releasing her first solo variety program since her debut. Shin Ae-ra, who pursues the entertainment industry’s representative ‘Wellbeing Life’, will present ‘Therapy House-Aera One’ (Aera One) on Channel A at 10 p.m. on the 28th.

The special pilot program ‘Aerawon’ for people who want to age healthily introduces the process of those who are concerned about their rapidly aging lives visiting the therapy house ‘Aerawon’ to correct bad lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise and heal their body and mind.

G-Dragon will also reveal a ‘Preview’ on the 26th ahead of the premiere of MBC‘s new entertainment program ‘Good Day’ on the 16th of next month.

‘Good Day Preview’ to be aired that night is a music project in which G-Dragon completes the ‘Song of the Year’ with people from various fields.

‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, one of MBC’s representative entertainment programs, will also be aired in the form of a ‘Spin-off’ to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

‘What are you doing, Haengnim?’ to be aired on the afternoon of the 30th was inspired by the broadcast where Haha, Joo Woo Jae, and Lee Yi Kyung said, “What do you do on a day when you don‘t have filming? Let’s do anything.“ It will be decorated with a travel course where Lee Yi Kyung takes his colleagues to places he actually goes to when he relaxes alone.

Star families will also gather together for the holiday. Original dance singer Park Nam Jung and his daughter Sieun from group STAYC, Sim Shin and Belle from her daughter group Kiss of Life, singer ViVi, and Triple S‘s Kim Na Kyung will appear on JTBC’s ‘Knowing Bros’ to show off their ‘real families’.

O‘A feast of music’
It‘s also fun to choose. ‘MBC Gayo Daejejeon Wannabe’, which will be broadcast in two parts on the 29th and 30th, will feature representative K-pop singers such as aespa, ATEEZ, Boynextdoor, Day6, Enhypen, Ive, NCT 127, NCT Dream, New Jeans, and Stray Kids.

The true value of K-trot will be showcased through ‘KBS Lunar New Year Special Trot Festival The Color’ on the 29th.

The highlight is the Lunar New Year special ‘K-POP The Beginning: SM Town 30’. You can watch the ‘SM Town Live’, a commemorative performance held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the company’s founding this year, from the front row of your living room theater.
