According to media outlet reports on May 6, actor Cha Tae Hyun is currently preparing a new tvN variety program with former '1 Night, 2 Days' PD Yoo Ho Jin!
One insider told media outlets on this day, "Yoo Ho Jin PD is currently working on a new tvN variety, 'Seoul Country Boy' (working title). Cha Tae Hyun will be heading the show as MC. It will be a travel variety series featuring top variety stars, and so it is currently being prepared under top secrecy."
Previously a main PD of KBS2's '1 Night, 2 Days', Yoo Ho Jin PD recently moved to CJ ENM, greeting viewers through tvN's 'Wednesday Music Program' last year.
Meanwhile, Cha Tae Hyun will be making his return to the small-screen this May 23 at 10:50 PM KST with his new OCN drama, 'Off Duty Investigation'.
[UPDATE] A representative of tvN has confirmed, "tvN's new variety 'Seoul Country Boy' is a travel program where the host visits different guests' home towns, experiencing what life is like in that home town. Cha Tae Hyun will be hosting the show, set to premiere some time this summer."

Yoo PD was a great PD for 2d1n, even though it seemed to take a toll on him. His episodes were really creative and entertaining, with just the right touch of sadism. Have also missed CTH on variety shows. In my opinion, he's one of the few that can pull off childlike glee and innocence while also being mischievous in a likable way.
