Channel A's 'Shinlang Class 2' has officially released its new poster featuring the three hosts, Lee Seung-chul, Tak Jae-hoon, and Song Hae-na. Previously, Tak Jae-hoon acknowledged his romantic relationship at the 2025 SBS Entertainment Awards, stating he would not reveal his girlfriend until he wins another award.
The newly unveiled poster showcases Lee Seung-chul, who has been the 'principal' since the show's launch in 2022, along with new MCs Tak Jae-hoon and Song Hae-na. The trio is seen eagerly observing the dating scenes of the new 'Shinlangz,' promising entertaining commentary with their diverse reactions. Representing married, divorced, and single statuses, the three hosts are set to bring a lively dynamic to the show, heightening anticipation for the broadcast.
Returning after three months, 'Shinlang Class 2' offers intriguing points of interest. The show will delve deeper into the love story of returning student Kim Sung-soo, who has been romantically linked with show host Park So-yoon since December. Additionally, new 'Shinlangz' members Jin Yi-han and Seo Joon-young join as freshmen, adding more variety to the romance narratives. Jin Yi-han and Seo Joon-young are expected to reveal a clumsy side in love, contrasting their typically composed on-screen personas.
The new MC lineup of Lee Seung-chul, Tak Jae-hoon, and Song Hae-na will engage in lively banter in the studio. Lee Seung-chul, known for his heartfelt advice to 'Shinlang' juniors over the past four years, is joined by Tak Jae-hoon, the self-proclaimed 'GOAT of wit,' who immerses himself in the romantic journey of his friend Jin Yi-han. Song Hae-na, a veteran MC with keen insights into the minds of singles, adds her sharp commentary. Each MC will 'PICK' a member to mentor, intensifying the competition to nurture successful 'Shinlangz.'
The show stands out as a star-studded 'dating program.' While Season 1 focused on meetings and preparations for marriage, Season 2 emphasizes the dating process itself, portraying the natural progression towards considering marriage. The production team notes, "With a younger cast, the show feels more youthful. We aim to capture the stars' romantic stories with a fast-paced narrative, offering viewers and the 3MCs a vicarious thrill akin to watching a romantic comedy."
Channel A's 'Shinlang Class 2' premieres on March 19 at 10 PM.
