[satoori]

KBS 2TV is producing a new variety show about family!

On September 15, KBS 2TV announced the launch of their new variety program titled “New Family Relationship Certificate Godfather” (literal title) in October.

“New Family Relationship Certificate Godfather” will be a close-up observational variety program about getting to know the real feelings between a father and a son through their newly created father-son relationship. The pair, who have different styles, views on marriage, and personalities, will try to see eye to eye while experiencing various scenarios together through the show.

The “Godfather” in the title refers to the meaning that a father is a figure of respect like a “god” while also reflecting the premise of the show in which they “got” a new father. In particular, the variety show will give secondhand satisfaction to the sons who feel saddened that they couldn’t support or take care of their fathers within their lifetimes.

As the subtitle “New Family Relationship Certificate” indicates, the show will ask viewers about the true proof of a family relationship in this current era in which personal space and time have become more valuable.

Furthermore, unimaginable celebrities have been cast as the “nation’s father” and “nation’s son.” Already, viewers are anticipating the father-son chemistry between each pair, who have received much love from the public, as they meet anew as father and son.

The production team shared, “We’re living in a frustrating era because parents don’t understand their sons’ and daughters’ ways of thinking, and children can’t communicate with their parents. Through the stories of the ‘nation’s father’ celebrities, who have carried South Korea’s modern history, and the ‘nation’s son’ celebrities, who are still looking for the answer to life, we want to create an opportunity that enlightens viewers about the importance of family.”

“New Family Relationship Certificate Godfather” will premiere in early October. cr.

sort of interesting tbh

[Dont mind me]

I am fascinated by SK social issues.

From an anthropological point of view, they seem to be stuck on repeat when it comes to korean customs and ways of thinking. It is okay to be old fashioned and not being able to connect directly with your kids, all parent all over the world have those moments. But within SK the issue is made bigger than it is and somehow there seems to be no self reflection. If the importantance of family norms are a big thing for them, then they should advocate for all sort of families. From single parents to gay parent.

It's all about the confucionism so deep in asian societies

About the not deep: maybe Donghae/Jeno or Soobin/ BTOB Minhyuk interactions will be possible.

I hope Nam Goong min/Jaemin will be considered. Cause yep!

Taiwan seems to be changing its way and Singapore/Japan have been easing up single parents these days.

I give it 30 episodes max. I don’t see this show running for a long time even tho it sounds quite interesting (especially if it’s produced by kbs)

So basically like Secret Unnie but gender-swapped and with a bigger age gap. Seems interesting.

Korea is taking baby steps towards this as well it seems with KBS's support of Sayuri on TROS and there's a bill on the table right now to allow single parent adoption which the conservative lobby is ofc rallying against as it would be a back door to gay couples adopting.

Aah that is nice to hear, I don't follow up with SK politics anymore. I get disappointed everytime, so I hope this bill gets through.
