tvN's New Show 'Gugidong Friends' Premieres: A Peek into the Lives of Six Celebrities Living Together

tvN's new variety show 'Gugidong Friends' is set to premiere on the 10th of next month, featuring the cohabitation of six celebrities: Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, Choi Daniel, Jang Keun-suk, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Kyung Soo-jin. The show will offer an unfiltered glimpse into their lives as they navigate living together, boasting a combined 80 years of living alone.

The recently released second teaser video gives a sneak peek into the pros and cons of living together at the Gugidong House, capturing the attention of viewers with the stories of Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, Choi Daniel, Jang Keun-suk, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Kyung Soo-jin.

Particularly, the 'Dongsa-chin' (friends living together) share meals, skincare routines, and relationship concerns, showcasing the benefits of cohabitation. The show also delves into candid discussions about egg freezing among the women and prostate health among the men, fostering a sense of camaraderie. Despite unexpected challenges, they navigate them together, drawing interest with their genuine daily lives.

However, as Jang Keun-suk mentions, "It's nice to be together, but I love being alone," highlighting the need for personal space. The teaser hints at noise wars between roommates, with Jang Do-yeon laughing at Lee Da-hee's morning singing and Ahn Jae-hyun requesting Choi Daniel to silence his message alerts. Ahn Jae-hyun's struggle with snoring noises adds to the humor.
The playful bickering among the same-age friends, such as Kyung Soo-jin's retort to Choi Daniel's nagging and Jang Do-yeon's quip to Choi Daniel about not leaving before marriage, adds to the entertainment. The evolving dynamics of the six as they live like a family in the Gugidong House piques curiosity.
