Ahn Jae Hyun is set to appear on the upcoming variety show 'Gugidong Friends.'

Slated to premiere in the first half of 2026, tvN’s 'Gugidong Friends' is an observational reality program that follows a group of strong-willed, same-age singles who have lived alone for years as they move in together under one roof. With zero pretenses, the show aims to celebrate a “fabulous life” shared by modern adults navigating independence and companionship.

Ahn Jae Hyun will be joined by Jang Do Yeon, Lee Da Hee, Choi Daniel, Jang Geun Suk, and Kyung Soo Jin, forming a star-studded cast lineup.


As more people embrace non-traditional living arrangements beyond marriage or blood ties, the concept of “life mates” - friends who choose to live together - has been gaining traction as a new form of family. Reflecting this trend, Jang Do Yeon, Lee Da Hee, Choi Daniel, Jang Keun Suk, Ahn Jae Hyun, and Kyung Soo Jin will embody the spirit of being “alone yet together,” showcasing a selective communal lifestyle tailored to modern individuals who enjoy solitude but dislike loneliness.

Together, the cast will take on challenges they might not have attempted alone, creating unique memories with their life mates. In particular, viewers are already anticipating the chemistry between Ahn Jae Hyun and Lee Da Hee, who is two years his senior.

With six celebrities sharing their high-energy, dopamine-filled daily lives, expectations are running high for the new program.

'Gugidong Friends' is scheduled to premiere in the first half of 2026.
