The main footage of tvN's new Sunday variety show 'Handsome Guys on Sunday' has been released for the first time. In particular, interest is focused on the meeting of the 'Handsome Guys' Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, Lee I-kyung, Shin Seung-ho, Oh Sang-wook, and Jin from BTS. The show, which will start airing in Korea on December 1 at 7:40 PM, is a Sunday variety program that directly explores Korea's representative culture, nature, places, and charming people. This is a new work by producer Ryu Ho-jin, who has stimulated everyday sensibilities and provided humor and deep resonance through series like 'Intern CEO's Sales Diary,' 'Country Bumpkin in Seoul,' and 'Country Bumpkin in Busan.' The released trailer depicts the 'five handsome guys' Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, Lee I-kyung, Shin Seung-ho, Oh Sang-wook, and the previously veiled first guest Jin making their first appearance, opening the curtain on an unpredictable real road variety show, attracting attention. The members' first meeting elicited laughter as they expressed doubts about the unique member composition. With actors, UFC fighters, a fencing gold medalist, and members of a worldwide boy group, the members' hard-to-find commonalities made Cha Tae-hyun, a 'born talent,' laugh and say, 'The composition is strange,' causing people to burst into laughter. In particular, they were momentarily speechless at producer Ryu Ho-jin's explanation that 'the title of this show is (on Sunday) Handsome Guys,' and ultimately Shin Seung-ho asked, 'Is it decided? To 'Handsome Guys'?' revealing that they gathered without even knowing the title of the show, amusing the viewers. Following this, the real road variety 'Handsome Guys on Sunday' officially begins, piquing interest. Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, and Shin Seung-ho form one team, while Lee I-kyung, Oh Sang-wook, and Jin form another. They will visit various places in Korea, performing quiz missions where finishing on time is the prize, making viewers laugh. Additionally, Kim Dong-hyun's lament of 'I can't understand why they make such choices' is followed by scenes of Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, and Shin Seung-ho camping out on the ground, and Jin crying out, 'I've never done this before,' leading to unpredictable situations that stimulate curiosity. With a composition never seen before, the members' unique chemistry is expected to deliver pure entertainment, raising anticipation for the premiere of 'Handsome Guys on Sunday.'
