City Celebrities Embrace Rural Life in New Variety Show 'City Z in the Countryside'

'City Z in the Countryside' stars Yang Se-chan, Lee Eun-ji, Lee Yi-kyung, Song Geon-hee, and Jeong Dong-won have fully immersed themselves in rural life from the very first shoot, as revealed in newly released behind-the-scenes photos.

The new ENA-E Channel variety show 'City Z in the Countryside' (hereafter 'City Z') features Gen-Z celebrities from urban areas experiencing rural life and transforming into true 'rural Zs.' This 'real hip-tro (hip + retro) variety' show promises to deliver laughter and warm empathy by showcasing the unique rural adventures of its members, appealing to both MZ and senior generations.

The first shoot captured Yang Se-chan, Lee Eun-ji, Lee Yi-kyung, Song Geon-hee, and Jeong Dong-won in action. Lee Eun-ji and Lee Yi-kyung, dressed in matching white T-shirts, are seen preparing dinner with smiles, while Yang Se-chan and Jeong Dong-won engage in a serious conversation on the porch. Song Geon-hee, showcasing his handsome looks, leisurely strolls down a quiet country road, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

The youngest members, Song Geon-hee and Jeong Dong-won, are seen enjoying a refreshing dip in a creek, providing a cool respite from the prolonged heatwave. The chemistry among the five in these first-look photos adds a refreshing vibe, raising anticipation for the stories they will unfold in the unfamiliar rural setting.

The production team commented, 'Watching these five busy and popular entertainers gradually adapt to rural life at their own pace will be one of the show's highlights. Stay tuned to see what kind of laughter and touching moments they will bring as they explore the charming rural villages.'

'City Z in the Countryside' premieres on September 8th at 8:30 PM.
