'Discharged Person', which OOTV will first introduce in 2024, is a full-fledged wandering program that visits various stations located in downtown areas, which are considered meeting places, and explores the charms of the surrounding area. OOTV's Ko Dong-wan PD production team, the original production team behind the hit web entertainment shows 'Walkman' and 'Nego King', will be in charge of planning and production. We plan to visit all the stations in the world, including subway stations and train stations, and explore every nook and cranny inside and outside the stations to uncover the various stories that can only be enjoyed and experienced there. By introducing so-called 'local recommended' hot places through citizens who know the surrounding area well, we plan to not only deliver useful information to viewers, but also provide fresh fun by evoking memories and sympathy from the past. 'Discharged Person' will be released for the first time on the OOTB STUDIO YouTube channel at 6 PM on Tuesday the 9th, and will be uploaded every Tuesday at 6 PM.

It's in progress. As he has proven his witty remarks and outstanding sense of entertainment through various programs, he will show off his quick wit and wit to the fullest and deliver pleasant laughter in 'The Veteran'.
