TV CHOSUN Revamps September Lineup with New Shows and Returning Favorites

TV CHOSUN is set to revamp its primetime lineup this September, with exciting new shows and returning favorites. Notably, Kim Jong-kook, who is getting married on September 5th, has been announced as the host of the new variety show 'Well-Draining Love'.

On August 29th, TV CHOSUN confirmed the fall schedule for 'Well-Draining Love'. This unique show focuses on individuals who have struggled in love due to weight issues, offering them a two-month retreat that combines dieting and romance coaching to boost self-esteem and 'shed pounds while filling hearts'.

The program brings together experts in fitness, nutrition, mental health, and romance to provide a comprehensive and scientific approach. Joining Kim Jong-kook as hosts are comedian Lee Soo-ji and actress Uee, along with a team of Pilates and fitness trainers.

In addition to 'Well-Draining Love', TV CHOSUN will premiere 'My Way - Over-Immersion Club' on September 3rd. This reality show observes the lives of people deeply immersed in their passions, capturing unique 'over-immersion moments' that promise fresh entertainment and relatability. The show features a dynamic lineup of hosts including Tak Jae-hoon, Chae Jung-an, Yunho, Leeteuk, and Mimi.

'Trot All-Star Battle on Wednesday Night' will move to Fridays, bringing together stars from 'Miss & Mister Trot' for intense singing competitions. With a dazzling guest lineup and thrilling battles, it promises to captivate audiences every Friday night.

The much-anticipated drama 'Confidence Man KR' is set to capture both buzz and critical acclaim. This caper comedy follows three con artists with extraordinary skills as they seek revenge on the villains of our time. The drama stars acclaimed actors Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon, and Jo Jung-hyuk.

Park Min-young plays Yoon Yi-rang, the brilliant and beautiful leader of the 'Confidence Man Team', who finds exhilaration in outsmarting the bad guys. Park Hee-soon takes on the role of James, the team's intellectual anchor with a French chic flair, marking his most significant transformation in 35 years. Jo Jung-hyuk portrays Myung Goo-ho, the team's righteous and charming youngest member, with audiences eagerly anticipating their chemistry.

'Our Baby Was Born', which previously won the 'Program of the Month' award for its heartfelt portrayal of childbirth, returns as a regular series. The show will feature a wider array of birth stories, with 'late-blooming dad' Park Soo-hong, Kim Jong-min, Sayuri, and Son Min-soo joining as the 'Birth Expedition Team'. Sayuri, known for being a 'voluntary single mother', Son Min-soo, husband to Im Ra-ra who is expecting twins in November, and newlywed Kim Jong-min planning for a second child, will each bring comfort and empathy to the birth experiences.
