tvN's 'Gugidong Friends' Premieres: A New Reality Show on Cohabitation and Friendship

The stars of 'Gugidong Friends'—Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, Choi Daniel, Jang Keun-suk, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Kyung Soo-jin—begin their cohabitation journey.

Airing on October 10th, tvN's 'Gugidong Friends' is a reality show that captures the current trend of adults who enjoy solitude but dislike loneliness, exploring loose bonds and connections. The first episode introduces the 'housemates' as they move into the Gugidong House, filled with excitement and nervousness. They get to know each other through entry cards that reveal their nicknames and styles. Notably, Choi Daniel sparks interest by candidly discussing his shortcomings, which leads to a humorous exchange with Jang Do-yeon.

In response to Choi Daniel's unexpected comment, Jang Do-yeon bursts into laughter and playfully retorts, "Did you ask if I can fight well?" while clenching her fist. She then removes her outerwear to cool down and humorously adds, "Don't hold back your words. I won't hold back with you either," eliciting more laughter.

Meanwhile, the housemates, now a group of six, embark on activities like watching movies together and shopping in bulk at a warehouse store, which they found daunting alone. They gather around the dining table, enjoying a lively meal, marking a stark contrast to their solitary lives.

On their first night, Jang Keun-suk takes charge of dinner, showcasing his culinary skills with a special 'Asian Prince' dinner course. As he skillfully chops and plates a variety of dishes, viewers are left curious about the reactions of Jang Do-yeon, Lee Da-hee, Choi Daniel, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Kyung Soo-jin to his creations.

'Gugidong Friends' premieres at 8:35 PM.
