CJ ENM is set to launch a brand-new romance reality show on its tvN channel, aiming for a broadcast date in the second half of this year, according to exclusive coverage by Star News on June 27.
The upcoming program is currently in its early stages of production and will be directed by PD Shin So Young, who previously worked on tvN’s 'Hong Jin Kyung’s Cinematic Fan Life.' The show features a unique concept where celebrities act as matchmakers by introducing their real-life friends to potential partners. The idea promises a mix of authenticity and heart-fluttering moments, with famous faces guiding viewers through the dating journey of people they personally know and trust.
CJ ENM has built a strong reputation in the romance reality genre. Its successful projects include 'Blossom with Love' on TVING, which explores high school first loves, 'Skip' on tvN, a same-day group blind date show, 'Love Catcher' on Mnet, a program that blends love and competition, 'Couple Palace,' a large-scale wedding project, 'Somebody,' a dance-based romance show, and 'EXchange' on TVING, where ex-couples explore new connections.
With its fresh twist involving celebrity friends, the upcoming series marks an exciting new direction for PD Shin So Young. Viewers are watching closely to see whether this innovative format will capture hearts and bring a new level of charm to Korean romance reality shows.
