Exciting Debut of 'SeokSamPlay Season 1': A Budget Adventure with Unexpected Twists
The new TV CHOSUN variety show 'SeokSamPlay Season 1' kicks off with a thrilling challenge as cast members Ji Seok-jin, Jeon So-min, Lee Sang-yeob, and Lee Mi-joo face a budget crisis right from their first trip.

Airing today (11th) at 7:50 PM, 'SeokSamPlay Season 1' is a mission-based travel reality show where the 'SeokSam Family' must explore 10 cities with only 1 million won. The show promises to highlight the hidden beauty of South Korea while showcasing the cast's comedic talents.

In the premiere episode, the members are shocked to learn that their entire budget for 10 cities is just 1 million won. Faced with this daunting task, they express their disbelief, saying, "What do we do?" and "Isn't this too much?" However, when the topic of Namhansanseong's delicacies like chicken stew and grilled deodeok comes up, Lee Mi-joo boldly declares, "We have 1 million won today," hinting at a big spending spree. Ji Seok-jin and Lee Sang-yeob join in, saying, "Life is short," and "Let's spend a bit on the first day," as they switch to 'flex mode,' setting the stage for a precarious spending spree.

As the 'SeokSam Family' indulges in their newfound financial freedom, an opportunity to replenish their funds arises. At G-Star Stadium in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, a high-stakes dice game begins. While it's a chance to earn bonus money, the tension is palpable due to a harsh rule: rolling a 4 results in losing all winnings. The members resort to tricks to win more money, leading to a tense standoff with the production team. The unexpected outcome causes Lee Sang-yeob to storm off the set, leaving viewers wondering if they can secure additional funds despite the production team's defenses.

With Ji Seok-jin and Lee Sang-yeob joining in, they embark on a 'Make a Boyfriend for the Youngest' mission, meddling in everything from lighting to menu choices. Their overzealous involvement leads to an uninvited intrusion, putting Lee Mi-joo's date in jeopardy. Whether Lee Mi-joo and Choi Daniel's forced date will end in romance remains a key highlight of the first episode.
