tvN‘s ‘Useless Trivia Encyclopedia of Earth’s Things to Know: Mediterranean’ (Alseulbyeoljab) is another series of ‘Useless Shinjab’, which opened a new chapter in ‘Trivia Talk’ with the massive release of knowledge and in-depth conversations from experts in each field.

It will feature endless talks by trivia experts from different perspectives on humanities, science, architecture, and literature while traveling through various European cities along the Mediterranean Sea. The endless voyage of chatter that unfolds like the vast ocean on the sea routes that cut through the world is expected to provide thrilling intellectual pleasure to viewers.

‘Alsseulbyeoljab’, which received favorable reviews last season for unfolding various and interesting topics set in New York, will expand its stage to the Mediterranean this time.

The Mediterranean, which means ‘The sea in the middle of the Earth’, has always been at the center of history. Accordingly, the Chatter Crew will visit various cities in the Mediterranean by sea and embark on an extensive chatter trip.

Attention is also focused on the faces of the new guests.

Yoon Jong-shin, who has returned as an MC after a long time since ‘Alsseulbeomjab’, will take on the role of the captain.

He plans to make the chatterbox doctors‘ conversations easier and more fun, creating colorful and organic conversations.

Actress Bae Doo-na will be an MC alongside Yoon Jong-shin, raising expectations even more. From the viewer’s perspective, they will immerse themselves in the experts‘ stories and enrich the conversation through curious questions and empathy.

Architect Yoo Hyun-joon, physics professor Kim Sang-wook, and astronomer Shim Chae-kyung will join the show again after last season, presenting deeper intellectual chatter.

New doctors who will provide even broader perspectives and insights will also join. They include Lee Jeong-mo, who served as the director of a science museum and museum for a total of 12 years and conveyed science in an easy and interesting way; Han Dong-il, the first East Asian lawyer to serve on the ‘Rota Romana’ Vatican Supreme Court; and poet Ahn Hee-yeon, who has built a sensual and contemplative world of poetry.

The production team stated, “This season will deliver richer and three-dimensional stories through the space of the Mediterranean. It will be a time to broaden your horizons through interesting synergy and in-depth conversations created by experts from various fields.”

He also added, “I hope that this trip by sea will be more than just a simple trip, but that it will be a time for viewers to experience various perspectives and satisfy their intellectual curiosity. We will return with a wider range of interesting intellectual conversations, so I hope that viewers will enjoy this voyage together from the moment we set sail until the very end.”
