Actor Choi Min Yong and comedian Jang Do Yeon are reportedly the new couple to appear on "We Got Married," and they are already in the middle of filming. It was accordingly announced by MBC in Mar.2 that Choi Tae Joon and A Pink's Yoon Bomi will be leaving the show.
Apparently, Yoon Bomi and Choi Tae Joon have already filmed their last episode together that will air sometime in Mar. According to Soompi, "We Got Married" currently features two other couples: the tandem of actors Gong Myung and Jung Hye Sung, as well as rapper Sleepy and Lee Guk Joo as the other couple.
"We Got Married" is a South Korean reality variety show. It was formerly only one segment of the "Sunday Sunday Night" program that currently airs on MBC. The show started its first broadcast in 2008.
In the show, according to Wikipedia, the celebrities are paired to show what life would be like if they were married. Every weekly episode, couples are assigned missions to complete, coupled with candid interviews. In this special pilot episode, the four pre-arranged couples must prepare dinner with a fixed amount of money.
In Mar. 2010, MBC stopped broadcasting new episodes due to labor strikes, compounded with the ROK's Cheonan drowning incident. Due to the cancellation of most variety shows because of the miserable events, the company aired replays instead.
Reportedly, to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of South Korea's diplomatic ties with China, MBC produced a Chinese version of "We Got Married." The show apparently paired Korean and Chinese celebrities. The Chinese version of the show We Got Married was accordingly broadcasted as a Valentine's Day special in China.
It was aired in the entertainment channel of Shanghai Media Group. Seemingly, MBC also broadcasted, but only the Korean segments. Two celebrities who participated in the show were international stars T-ara's Hyomin and Super Junior's Kyuhyun.
