Ooh, I'm interested!! Ho Dong's last one show, Moonlight Prince, was quite boring. The concept was interesting, talking about books but really, how can you make that into 1N2D laugh out loud sorta fun?

Anddd Kim Hyun-joong + Yoon Shi-yoon = <3

Thank you for the news!

Loved Family Outing, adore at least a big chunk of the cast. So sign me up! I'm already giddy with excitement. One thing - it does bug me a bit how there is an empty vacuum in regards to the presence of female variety cast members (not exclusive to this show). I know there were all female shows like Heroine 6 and Invincible Youth, but I would like to see more gender integration in variety casts.

Ok, so I'm curious...what other shows are competing against Barefoot Friends' time-slot? If you say it's after Running Man, what's the competing lineup for KBS and MBC? I know Qualifications of Men was before 1N2D, not after...and I'm not sure of MBC's schedule. Would anyone care to enlighten me? Much appreciated!

kim hyun-joong can be a riot. i watched him on we got married after the whole BOF craze, and between him and crown j, i was pretty much left in stitches.

i like him much better now than i did than the BOF days. when the f4 were being interviewed absolutely everywhere? i have to admit, kim hyun-joong rubbed me the wrong way because his manner seemed so blunt and cold, and plus he admitted to stealing a friend's girlfriend, which can happen, but it didn't help my already-negative impression of him. now, i give him points for honesty, and he seems to have gotten a lot better with the whole media thing.

and uee seems good on variety as well—she can hold her own against the experienced MCs, which is vital!

I don't know about Kim Hyun Joong. He's so robotic. He reminds me of a wooden telephone pole when I see him in interviews (or in acting, for that matter).

Not a fan of UEE either.

Kang ho dong needs to team up with lee seung gi again..now that's watchable...

I liked Uee on her episodes of Family Outing. Her Dumb and Dumber act with YJS was hilarious. Hopefully she brings that hilarity to the show.

I agree- Uee wasnt that much of a stand out on the episodes of running man she appeared in.. I dont mind her, but she's not like, explosively amazing... Perhaps she needs time to adjust and become more relaxed, I got the feeling she was kinda.. Quiet? I dont know how to describe her lol. Anyhow, I guess we can only wait and see. :)

> set to be part of the I Like Sunday lineup

Just a translation note, the official English equivalent of "일요일이 좋다" appears to be "Good Sunday," not "I Like Sunday."

NOOO does that mean I won't be seeing Yoon Shi Yoon in a new drama for a while?! :(

Woops, this became more a rant/defense on certain members of this upcoming show than the show itself. Short form: I'm excited for majority of the members and not so much for a few of the members, but will definitely be checking it out.

I'm going to definitely check this out. Although I prefer Yoo Jae Suk's style of MC-ing over KHD's (DON'T KILL ME!!) KHD is still very funny.

Also, I'm a fan of KHJ. Actually, more a fan of the band he was/is part of, SS501. Before I get attacked for liking KHJ, let me clarify that I am fan of him and SS501, and NOT his acting. I have not watched ANY of his dramas/ acting gigs (except the half-playing around/half acting stuff in variety shows) and can confidently say that I will never in the future. And yes, I agree with you all out there that he sucks at acting. But, he's soo funny in variety, if he has enough time to relax and be natural. Oh, our 4D Leader! :D

With that defense/rant about KHJ past, I'm definitely checking this out because of Yoon Jong-shin, Yoo Se-yoon, Kim Bum-soo, and Yoon shi yoon. YJS cuz I like his type of humor, kim bum soo because he's been pretty funny in shows he's be in, in addition to his OMG-voice/singing talent. I'm not very good at distinguishing sarcasm in Yoon se yoon's humor sometimes, but he's still funny. and Yoon shi yoon = enrique geum, no need for more words.

I'm so-so with Eunhyuk and Uee. Eunhyuk is actually ranks high among my preference in Suju, but I haven't enjoyed many of the shows he has been part of before, but it might just have been the the shows in general instead of him.

Uee, I actually do not like as an actor or variety member. (omg. I can just feel the attacks I'm going to get for saying this at DB). I have found her acting either very emotionless/dull or over-done. Granted, the things I've watched of her was bits of QSD and some parts of Ojakyo. and I didn't really like Ojakyo (another set of attacks coming!). It was just not my cup of drama; i think I got sick of watching pettiness between family members after watching "Three Brothers" awhile back. (And maybe because I get it enough of the real deal back at home). As for her stints in variety, she is either too shy/ didn't do much and the awed/fawned/smitten looks/actions from the males around her do get into my nerves, especially if dictates most of her variety stints. And to give a shallow reason, I don't find her to be very pretty/as pretty as the media/men say she is. Maybe it is because she has a round face, and since I have a round (much rounder than hers, of course) face also, I don't find her as attractive.

[sorry for this long rant/defense. I think all the time I had suppressed myself from commenting has caught up, and in one of the most inappropriate places.]

Heh. I'll tune in for Kim Hyun-joong because I miss him in variety. I still haven't watched the last 2 episodes of his WGM stint because I'm in denial that they parted ways. ;)

Eunhyuk's always good for a laugh, and I love Yoon Jong-shin in Hwashin (though Kim Hee-sun's the real draw there). UEE's the only girl? Don't know if I should be envious or feel sorry for her, hehe. But she's someone I think that's not afraid to mess up her image so hope she does well here. Yoon Shi-yoon? Ah, my views are still colored by the disappointing FBND..

The only variety shows I'm watching now are the new ones: Dad, Where Are You Going? (Hoo, where can I get someone like you?) & Hwashin (I loooove Kim Hee-sun!). Hope it won't be a busy week when this premieres as there would be new dramas out next week. I have no doubt there would be subs for this (idol fans, thank you!).

I'm excited! Looking at first picture without reading the title, I thought I was going to get a drama with such an awesome cast, but it's not. lol I am looking forward to laughs! Yes, I hope someone does sub this.

Kim Hyun Joong and Yoon Shi Yoon.....that's simply great :)

This new show has all the makings of being flat-out funny and considering that the 'missions' will be done in other countries has me really looking forward to the antics. It sounds almost like a Running Man/Family Outing hybrid (2 of my favorite variety shows.)

I predict that KHJ will quickly become the 'Spartakooks' of the team - his competitiveness is not to be believed. His turn on RM last year still makes me laugh. He'll be good on this new show.

Uee, IDK - she's kinda boring and doesn't seem all that active on variety shows, but it's hard to tell as most of these variety shows treat a female as a token. I wish that someone like Sunny from SNSD was with this group. A woman really has to have a personality like Lee Hyori to really mesh. As good as Song Ji Hyo is on RM, she's still on the reserved side and I imagine that Uee's participation will be similar.

aaah..i can already imagine yoon jong shin being the weakling again.... i'm up for the casts. seems fit to me as most have variety experience, they know their stuff but am still unsure about the concept. lets just wait til 21 April.

watched 4eps of Moonlight Prince, i kinda like it, too bad it was cancelled. i think KHD shouldnt be the there (or at leaset not as MC), he doesnt look like a book person

Excited for this, actually. I hate KHJ in acting, but I'll watch him in variety shows any day. Not to mention that Eunhyuk's there, so they'll be funny together. Oh and Eunhyuk's close friends with Yoon Shiyoon in real life, so it'll loosen up Shiyoon fast enough.

ah, no wonder she had to leave music bank, competitor station.

too bad, was hoping that she and JW could host music bank together.

I won't apologize .. I will watch because and ONLY because of KIM HYUN JOONG! I have watch his dramas ... yes not the best actor but good enough to watch jajaaa if nothing else for being handsome ;o)

Can't wait to laugh and fall MORE in love with Kim Hyun Joong!

Pictures of Kim Hyun Joong at the airport ... he is SOOOOO ready for this! and that smile aaawwwwhhhh

Eh, sounds like Running Man to me with a hint of 1N2D..

The problem with Moonlight Prince was that it was too unique. It was an idea that was too bizarre for its audience to generate some sort of emotional attachment or loyalty to it. This idea, however, is too similar to others: the cast goes to a different country, splits into teams, and carries out a series of missions. That sounds UNDOUBTEDLY like Running Man. I just wish SBS could think of something more creative without it having to do with books (seriously, wtf was Moonlight Prince......).

I'll keep my eyes peeled for this though!

hmmm Yoon Shi Yoon..kkaegeum...i'm on the board^_^
I love him since FBND
i love uee too
i hope they can get along together all the members
i believe uee already knew and close with eun hyuk, KHJ,and KHD..i dont know with YSY..ohh yehhh..they can talk about JW i think........

is it weird that I'm more excited for Kim Jong-shin ahjussi?? I loved that man on Family outing but I loved him more in 1N2D's Island music special. now if someone would kindly grab Yoo Hee-yeol put him on the show and I'm a happy fangirl.

Oh wow i am really like this casting, even though it seems really weird? Love love love hyunjoong, i've terribly missed him in variety, he was such a weird but hilarious hoot in we got married. Finally Eunhyuk you've got yourself in a variety show cast (outside of strong heart and as a fixed one!), i'm interested to see more uee and yoon shi yoon since i find them so very likable!

Yoon Shi Yoon?! Awww heeeccccksss yeah! Been a big fan of him since High Kick. Will watch this. Hopefully it's funny because I'll admit it, the only Korean variety show I watch is Running Man. Sometimes Dream Team.

HOPE this show work out this time...
the so called prince I have not even watch 1 episode then it had ended already

i'm fine with the male cast but I find really hard to like unee in variety shows, she seem really stiff even on running man I don't seem to find her entertaining

Alright, let's wait till the show starts before we shall make our judgement on UEE. Because c'mon, Ji-hyo was pretty shy and quiet in her first few appearances on Running Man. Who would have thought she's going to be this badass and awesome and at the same time, funny and adorable?

Woo, haven't seen Kim Hyun Joong on variety shows for a long time. Not a fan of Eunhyuk and Yoo Se-yoon at all but I will give this a try. I'm glad Sugeun rejected this show though, haha.

Oh cool! I'm excited for KHD, but the inclusion of Yoo Se-yoon definitely piqued my interest. All that I know of him is from watching videos of his performances in his band, UV, which were hilarious. I'm interested to see what he'll bring to the mix.

I wish he wud do a project with Seunggi again they fit perfectly KJK is not really that interesting if his just himself We Gor Married is so scripted to the bone seriously, I dont know rhey say its like Running Man not going to complsin coz love RM the problem is UEe is not that Witty and funny like Song Jihyo she looks very shy and reserve not for variety world so will see how her scripts works

Sounds like an ambitious and big budget project with overseas filming and stuff...

I guess money will not be a problem here because we have superstar Kim Hyun Joong, Kang Ho Dong and Uee here, right?

I agree that Kim Hyun Joong is good in variety, strange that he looks more comfortable and natural in front of the camera on variety than drama :-). He he.

Uee-shi.. well... I'm hoping that she will be more active doing drama, but seems that she's more interested in outdoor filming like this new variety show.. You go girl!

Love Kim Hyun Joong on WGM. We should just keep him on variety shows. His 4D ness is so full of win.

OH so KHD is heading TWO new varieties. I was so confused b/c I thought Changmin was the the Barefoot show too.

Can't wait to see YHY in variety, hope he's hilarious!

excited for KHD! hope this is a hit ^^

I saw this on my tumblr dash and for some reason I thought KIM WOO BIN instead and all ready to squeal! I swear Kim Woo-bin should be in a variety show. Yes, he's a fail, but an awesome fail. I think once he gets the hang of it, he probably be that funny awkward kid (like Kwangsoo). I wonder how close Kim Hyun Joong is with Woobin since WB did mention that they are friends.

KHJ!
He can be a laugh riot!!
Definitely looking forward to see his 4D-ness again! ^^

welcome back ,KHD....
I love Kim hyun joong on variety shows , he cracked me up on family outing and strong heart , he has such a funny charm , sigh , reminded me of the grat old days of family outing , it was the best show I have ever seen

***(someone over at KBS’s Happy Sunday is crying into his cornflakes)***

Can someone at KBS fire all the morons at KBS?! Someone is ax-happy, and is chopping all our favorite shows. Win-Win, Qualifications of Men, Invincible Youth... And to the ones responsible for the Moonlight Prince mess (how many times did it change formats?), off with their heads!

Win-Win could have been saved with new hosts. (But not 4 hosts. Why do they always do overkill with TOO MANY hosts???) And Qualifications of Men, I don't even know why it got the ax. Invincible Youth, the same. Why are all my favorite shows getting axed?

And the new impending KBS show - Our Neighborhood Variety Sports - with 7 hosts. Really? 7? The more hosts the merrier??? At least the ICKY GUY won't be on it, Jung Jae Hyung.

This an interesting mix of casts. And I miss seeing Kang Ho Dong in an outdoor setting for a show.
I'm anticipating how the cast will interact.

I actually don't understand the dislike for UEE... I think she's a competent actress that probably needs to tweak her acting a little or try more exotic weird roles.
As for her variety skills I think she'll do fine, she's quite outspoken and relaxed, but at times she does seem to exude a princess-complex and little bit of a perfectionist. I would love to see her loosen up and act a little out-of-ordinary XD .

I've seen Eunhyuk and HyunJoong in variety but I've yet to see YoonSiYoon. Yoon Jong Shin is hilarious btw.

My overall thoughts on this show is Family Outing meets Running man with a hint of 1N2D, but lets not judge too early. I hope it does well.

Definitely watching this for Eunhyuk. The guy is hilarious and knows his variety stuff, a very witty guy.

KHD, I mean.. I would love it if he hosted minus the screaming every 5 seconds.. hurts my ears.

I have no problems with the cast. ^^

Yayayayaya Kim hyun Joong in variety, that 4d personality of his is gonna be back on scree. Hyped. Also looking forward to UEE and yoon shi yoons performance in variety. I hope it isn't like when UEE was a regular on star king and sat and smiled most of the time.

Eunhyuk's addition is really disinteresting
