tvN‘s ‘Useless Trivia Encyclopedia of Earth’s Trivia’ has released its first teaser video announcing its departure for the center of the Earth, the Mediterranean Sea, on the 31st.

‘Useless Trivia Encyclopedia of Earth‘s Trivia: Mediterranean’(약층 ‘알써별잡’) is another series of ‘알써신잡’, which opened a new chapter in ‘Trivial Talk’ with the massive release of knowledge and in-depth conversations by experts in each field. It contains an endless talk by trivia experts from different perspectives on humanities, science, architecture, literature, etc. while traveling to various European cities along the Mediterranean sea route. This season, which has expanded its stage to the Mediterranean Sea, will be led by MC Yoon Jong-shin, who has returned after a long time since ‘알쓰범잡’, and newly joined Bae Doo-na. Also, following last season, architect Yoo Hyun-joon, physics professor Kim Sang-wook, and astronomer Shim Chae-kyung will once again join the trip around the globe. Scientist Lee Jeong-mo, lawyer Han Dong-il, and poet Ahn Hee-yeon will also be newly aboard the cruise.

The first teaser video released on the 10th heralds the most romantic journey in addition to the Mediterranean Sea route travel and new crew. This season is set in the Mediterranean Sea, which means ‘the sea in the middle of the Earth’, and travels to various cities in Europe along the ship route by cruise. The itinerary of 10 cities in 4 countries rich in history and culture, including Rome, Sicily, and Genoa in Italy, Barcelona in Spain, Marseille in France, and Malta, is also on an unprecedented scale.

As Yoon Jong-shin predicted, “This might be the most romantic ‘know-it-all’ series of all time,”, this season is expected to provide a special experience that blends even richer emotions beyond the pursuit of knowledge. The beautiful European scenery unveiled through the video already foreshadows a romantic talk.


Above all, the chemistry between the MC and the talkative doctors who will reveal even more diverse knowledge is the biggest point to watch for in this ‘Alsseulbyeoljab’. Led by Yoon Jong-shin, who will create an organic conversation by making the trivia talk easier and more fun, and Bae Doo-na, who will enrich the conversation with curious questions and empathy as a viewer by immersing herself in the experts’ stories, the in-depth conversations of the talkative doctors who cover various fields such as architecture, science, law, literature, and history raise expectations.

The production team said, “The Mediterranean is a place where a long history and diverse cultures coexist, so different perspectives and in-depth conversations will unfold in each city you travel to.” They added, “The stories told from each field‘s perspective will stimulate intellectual curiosity, and viewers will also be able to experience as if they are traveling along a sea route with the talkative doctors and participating in intellectual chatter. We hope you enjoy this intellectual romantic journey together.”

‘Alseulbyeoljab’ will premiere at 10:10 p.m. on Monday the 31st.
