Sunday Night Chuseok special: 120 minutes WGM special


MBC will be broadcasting a 120 minute special of their representative program WGM as a Chuseok special.

As Chuseok is on the 14th of September, the program will broadcast a special whereby new couples will appear in the first part of the program, and existing couples in the second part in a quiz talk.

PD Kim Gu San said that only WGM will be broadcasted for the both parts of Sunday Night and repeatedly said that the new cast is temporary. PD Kim also said that the production team has been meeting male and female celebrities in order to find new couples for the first part and that the couples are not fixed yet, but there is no possibility for couples like Saori to come back on the program.

PD Kim also added that the new couples will go off on missions as a pair and that it cannot be promised that the couples will have a fixed appearance on the show, but if there was a change in the current cast then there is a high chance for the cast of the Chuseok special to be added.

On the other hand, for the second part of the special, the currently active couples Andy- Solbi, So In Young- Crown J, Alex- Shin Ae and Hyun Joong- Hwang Bo will be be asked to answer questions that have aroused curiosity through a quiz in the studios.

The MCs for the other segment of Sunday Night will be hosting the second part and will be asking difficult questions. This will be the meeting of WGM and Three Wheels.

PD Kim also said that with this opportunity, they would want to try asking the couples to play the Pepero Game however there is still the problem of adjusting the schedules.

The CTP episode was one of my favorites because it was great to see how the couples interracted with each other when they were being their normal selves (not fake married people). Now that some months have passed, it would be awesome to see how their interractions have grown, especially with Hyun Joong and Hwangbo who'd barely known each other at the time of the CTP filming. And I hope the hosts asks very HARD questions. hehehe.

Thanks for the translations.

I'm kinda uneasy about this news. They may say now that none of the existing couple is leaving the show, but no one can predict anything once there's a new couple. Last time I remember, 5 couples didn't work so well on the show. Plus, there's still rumours surrounding HJ and his Hanazawa Rui role. I'm just afraid that this is the beginning to an end on one of the couples (I'm not saying just Joongbo, I think Anbi might be on danger too). I hope it's just my own worries.

Yes, it is suspicious for them to say that the new couple is just for the special... however, if a couple is leaving, the new couple will replace. Makes no sense. Why bother looking for a couple to possibly replace if none of the couples are in danger of leaving?

But either way, I think it's fine for any of the couples to leave if they feel it's best for them. I'm sure no one signed up thinking it would be a life long commitment and if they can no longer devote the time needed for the show, I support them 100%.

i donno if i was thinkg too much. it sounds like a back-up, which implicates some of the existing couples will be leaving soon. the PD wants to take this chance letting the viewers to choose the best new couple for replacement....
this really bothers me esp. the rumours surrounding HJ. I donno know if i can survive every sunday without our joongbo couple !!!

i agree with those who feel like the new couples are going to be introduced as backups....it's as though the PDs are testing to see which new couples are liked by the audience so that they can then introduce them as active cast members of the show...i know the current couples are not going to be on the show forever..but i do hope that our joongbo do not leave the show any time soon :(

i think they should not add another couple again..
the 4 couples are enough..
please!

coz these couples have their unique characteristics that makes each of them stand out.. if another couple comes into the picture, it is possible that that the team up wont be as striking as the joongbo couple (coz they came out last but eventually surpassing the other couples)

please dont add another couple!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with some above comments that the pd is testing which new couple(s) can replace the existing ones when they leave. With their increase in popularity, I'm not surprised drama/movie casting calls are made to some of them. Acting in drama/movie is a better long term career move.
