The ranking chart show 'From One to Ten' hosted by Jang Sung-kyu and Lee Sang-yeob is set to unveil a treasure trove of essential lifestyle changes coming in 2026.
Airing on December 2 at 8 PM on T-Cast E Channel, the show will feature the theme 'Don't Miss Out: Essential Lifestyle Changes in 2026!' with hosts Jang Sung-kyu and Lee Sang-yeob. Joining them is rapper Nucksal, known for his sharp wit on YouTube. Nucksal immediately spices up the atmosphere by playfully criticizing Jang Sung-kyu's old-fashioned humor.
First up, 'Icon of Newlyweds' Lee Sang-yeob shares exciting news for soon-to-be-married couples about the 'Studio, Dress, and Makeup (SDM) Fixed Price System.' Nucksal humorously comments, "It's all about the asking price!" highlighting the reality of escalating costs in Korea's wedding industry. The government has mandated the disclosure of pricing information by wedding venues and planning agencies, aiming to bring transparency to the industry. The show will delve into the details of this new wedding culture.
Jang Sung-kyu then discusses the 'New Parenting Policies' for parents and children. With the burden of housing loans, young couples find it challenging to celebrate new life. Reflecting this, South Korea's fertility rate remains at a low 0.78 as of 2024, the lowest among OECD countries.
Nucksal, who married a non-celebrity six years his junior in September 2022 and welcomed his first son five months later, emphasizes the need for practical childcare benefits in a world where housing stability is difficult. The show will introduce policies like expanded child allowances and substitute allowances for parental leave, supporting parents nationwide. Lee Sang-yeob, preparing for fatherhood, also expresses keen interest.
The issue of 'Strengthening Penalties for Drunk and Drugged Drivers' is also highlighted. The tragic incident involving a Japanese tourist mother and daughter in November 2025 due to a drunk driver sparked outrage. In response, the government will enforce mandatory breathalyzers for repeat offenders and intensify drug driving checks starting in 2026.
The 2024 'Apgujeong Rolls-Royce Incident,' where a drugged driver killed a pedestrian, drew public ire. The show will caution viewers about the effects of various medications, including sleeping pills, cold medicine, and treatments for depression, diabetes, and hypertension, on driving.
Additionally, the show will cover the world's first 'AI Basic Law' in Korea, the 'Hearty Meal' policy for workers, the 'Film and Cultural Arts Pass' to enhance cultural life, the 'Everyone's Card' for commuters, the 'New Recycling Policy' for environmental protection, the 'Animal Welfare Act' for pet owners, and essential 'Overseas Travel Checks' for enjoyable trips. These key lifestyle changes for 2026 promise to be both informative and beneficial.
