If you’ve been bingeing K-dramas, drooling over K-food reels, and casually adding Korean phrases to your vocabulary (don’t lie, I see you), then brace yourself – because your screen time’s about to level up.
Starting August 22, Disney+ Hotstar is serving five brand-new Korean variety shows – one for almost every day of the week – packed with laughs, love, food, fitness, and even a peek into celebrities’ quirks you never knew you needed. And the best part? Each episode is a snappy 25 minutes, so you can easily squeeze it in between your coffee break and your next scroll session.
Here’s what’s on the menu:
Think fitness camp… but for people who are comically bad at sports. Watch some of Korea’s least athletic celebs give their all (and their dignity) in a series of hilarious challenges. Spoiler: you’ll be laughing more than they’ll be sweating.
Saturdays – 60 Minutes to Love (Aug 23)
Running Man’s Ji Yeeun is on a mission – find “the one” through 60-minute speed dates. Across 20 episodes, she’ll meet all kinds of personalities, from awkwardly shy to over-the-top charming. Will she walk away with a soulmate or just 20 great dinner stories?
Sundays – Belly Showdown (Aug 24)
Six big personalities, one epic food challenge, and zero shame in eating way past full. This is comfort-watching at its finest – and yes, you might want to have snacks ready.
Mondays – YOO Got a Minute? (Aug 25)
This one’s a two-parter! For the first 10 weeks, Yoo Byungjae digs into celebs’ wildest, most unnecessary purchases in You Bought What?!. Then, things get even more ridiculous in The Quiet Interview, where the only rule is: don’t laugh… or the interview’s over. (Spoiler: they almost always laugh.)
Tuesdays – Chef’s Go-To (Aug 26)
Follow Korea’s most beloved chefs into hidden back alleys and off-the-map eateries for their favorite secret bites. It’s like a foodie treasure hunt, but with Michelin-level tour guides.
And yes, all five shows are running until the end of the year – so your K-content calendar is officially booked.
If 2025 has already spoiled us with hits like Nine Puzzles, Hyper Knife, and Low Life, then these new variety shows are the perfect cherry on top.
📅 Mark your calendar: starting August 22, grab your snacks, find your comfiest spot, and get your daily K-variety fix on Disney+ Hotstar.
