'Amazing Saturday' Spin-off 'Amazing Thursday' Launches... Park Na-rae and Key Depart Two Months Later

tvN's long-running popular variety show 〈Amazing Saturday〉 is expanding its universe to Thursday nights. The spin-off variety show 〈Amazing Thursday〉, which is set to premiere on March 19, will present a new music show that moves away from the existing 'dictation' format to showcase high-quality vocal skills and entertainment.

◆ Doremi Market Moves to 'Karaoke'... The Birth of a Vocal Explosion Music Show

〈Amazing Thursday〉 is set against a karaoke backdrop where two teams engage in fierce singing competitions. This spin-off, which appears about 5 years after the 2021 debut of 〈Idol Dictation Contest〉, aims to differentiate itself by adding the element of 'vocal ability' to the core identity of 'music'. The production team stated, "While maintaining the cheerful atmosphere of Doremi Market, we will maximize the vocal capabilities of the cast to provide viewers with both auditory pleasure and laughter."

◆ The Meeting of 'Tension Master' Boom and 'Variety & Music Trends'

The center of the program is undoubtedly the icon of 〈Amazing Saturday〉, MC Boom. Joining him are the trending variety stars Lee Yong-jin and Jung Yi-rang, who will lead the karaoke atmosphere with their unique witty banter, while vocal talents Jo Jae-joon and Seo Eunkwang from BTOB join as panelists, responsible for both musical depth and entertainment fun. In particular, the addition of skilled vocalist Seo Eunkwang is expected to add weight to the program's nature of vocal competition.

◆ Overwhelming First Guests... TXT's Yeonjun and Taehyun Make Their Appearance

The guest lineup for the first broadcast is also glamorous. Global artists Tomorrow X Together (TXT)'s Yeonjun and Taehyun will showcase their high-level performances and vocal skills, while trending comedians Kim Hae-jun and Na Bo-ram will join to promise a stage that induces laughter. The production team plans to deliver a unique emotional experience and a feast of performances every week through a guest lineup that spans genres from idols to reality stars.

◆ A Strong Impact Limited to 4 Episodes... A New Vitality for Thursday Nights

This spin-off, consisting of a total of 4 episodes, is expected to captivate viewers with its short and powerful impact. Amidst the recent changes in the main cast that have created a chaotic atmosphere, it remains to be seen whether 〈Amazing Thursday〉 can become a new source of vitality for tvN variety shows.

While inheriting the warm sentiment of the main show, 〈Amazing Thursday〉, armed with fierce vocal battles, will begin its first broadcast on March 19 at 8:40 PM, taking responsibility for viewers' Thursday nights for 4 weeks.
