'Gugidong Friends' has released a highlight video capturing the charm of six same-age 'Dongsa-chin' friends.
Premiering on April 10 at 8:35 PM, tvN's variety show 'Gugidong Friends' is an observational reality show that reflects the current trend of adults who enjoy solitude but dislike loneliness, seeking loose connections. This project by tvN boldly and daringly showcases a new form of living and relationships beyond simple cohabitation. The show draws attention to how six individuals with strong personalities, who have lived alone for a long time, will experience changes and form relationships while living together.
The highlight video teases the candid and lively chemistry of 'Dongsa-chin' (cohabiting friends, same-age friends) including Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, Choi Daniel, Jang Keun-suk, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Kyung Soo-jin from their first meeting.
Particularly, Choi Daniel stands out with his unfiltered wit and uncle-like friendliness, exuding a unique presence as the laughter provider with his 'dirty sexy' charm. Jang Do-yeon, the only introvert among the 'Dongsa-chin', is discovering the joy of living together. She remarks, “Living like this would make me so happy. There would be no reason to be depressed,” yet adds, “But I might not grow,” sparking curiosity about the chaotic Gugidong life.
The adorable bravado and boyish charm of 'Asia Prince' Jang Keun-suk, the human touch of Lee Da-hee who loves cleaning and singing, and the unexpected charm of 'action leader' Kyung Soo-jin, who holds nothing back, also catch the eye. The pure-hearted Ahn Jae-hyun, a peace-loving gentle soul, adds to the diverse mix, promising a fun synergy among the six.
Ahn Jae-hyun, who divorced in 2020, is unexpectedly seen in tears, drawing attention. As he wipes his tears, Jang Do-yeon comments, “I didn’t know anything about him, not even 0.01%,” hinting at the deeper understanding and bonding that will develop among the six as they live together, making viewers curious about the outcome of their cohabitation.
