Jang Do-yeon × Lee Da-hee × Choi Daniel, “Gugidong Friends” to be Released on TVING in April

TVING (TVING) announced the release of a new original variety show, 〈Gugidong Friends〉, led by a dazzling lineup featuring Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, and Choi Daniel, signaling a shift in the variety landscape. Viewers can look forward to a no-holds-barred co-living life of single stars gathered under one roof that will surely spark their dopamine.

Alone, yet together—1.5-household living brought by a “loose alliance”

〈Gugidong Friends〉 is a candid daily-life observation reality in which distinctive single people—who have lived on their own for a long time—come together at the Gugidong house and live there. The program goes beyond the traditional idea of a family, presenting a “1.5-household” lifestyle. It shows a new housing trend as “life mates,” who respect each other’s private lives while sharing everyday life.

In particular, simply the fact that Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, and Choi Daniel—whose years of living alone add up to about 80—have come together, along with Jang Geun-suk, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Kyung Soo-jin, is already drawing a lot of attention. The chemistry that will be created as six people with different levels of tension and distinct personalities collide promises to deliver an enjoyable fun that feels like watching a sitcom.

From a giant octopus escape fiasco to heartfelt confessions… a feast of unexpected charm

In the previously released teaser video, a live, giant octopus escapes in the kitchen of “Asia Prince” Jang Geun-suk, causing a sudden emergency and capturing the cast flustered and scrambling—resulting in big laughs. Lee Da-hee, who screams; Ahn Jae-hyun, who seems completely thrown off; and Kyung Soo-jin, who calmly handles it—watching them in their “raw” forms, different from their usual image, is the key viewing point.

Beyond simple entertainment, there will also be plenty of sincere stories that resonate with modern people—who are okay with being alone but don’t like loneliness—like Kyung Soo-jin’s confession, “I want to eat meals with someone.”

Released at 8:35 PM on April 10… Simultaneous release on TVING and tvN

The chaotic co-living adventure of six singles with unforgettable personalities, 〈Gugidong Friends〉, will head out to meet viewers around the world through TVING and tvN on Friday, April 10 at 8:35 PM.
