MBC announced on Oct. 20 that it will broadcast 'Jeonjijeok Jipchak Sijeom (전지적 집착 시점)', a spin-off of its variety show 'Jeonjijeok Chamgyeon Sijeom (전지적 참견 시점)', for the first time on Nov. 8. Yonhap, Newsis and the Chosun Ilbo, which ran an article from OSEN, all reported the date. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The original show portrays the daily lives of stars. According to Yonhap, the spin-off will shed light on people who are deeply absorbed in something and have built a world of their own, capturing the lives and passion of people who devoted themselves to one field and created an original area. Newsis added that the show will cover people who built their own world through particular tastes and persistence. [ 1 , 2 ]
Jeon Hyun-moo (전현무), who has led the original show, will host. The other MCs are Kim Min-kyung (김민경), described by Newsis as an editor at Minumsa (민음사), Kim Won-hoon (김원훈), a comedian or gagman depending on the outlet, and chef Yoon Nam-no (윤남노). [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The Chosun Ilbo's OSEN article said the programme looks at what it called 'goein (괴인)', people who may seem unfamiliar and peculiar to others. It said Kim Min-kyung opened a channel called Minumsa TV to promote books liked by the editor. An unnamed official was quoted as saying the four MCs' viewpoints and 'obsession-expert' chatter are a point to watch. [ 3 ]
Newsis reported that the first episode will air at 6:05 p.m. on Nov. 8. The other two documents do not give a broadcast time. [ 2 ]
Why it matters
The documents give no basis for wider significance beyond a new entertainment programme announced by a broadcaster. Viewers of the original show can see it extended into a spin-off with a new focus on people's obsessions.
