Producers will remake a South Korean music reality show for broadcast next year in Spain, the program's original producer said Tuesday.
"Fantastic Duo," which features fans singing duets with their favorite singers, will be adapted for Spanish audiences ahead of its broadcast on public channel TVE, according to SBS TV.
"TVE (also) owns channels in South America, where they speak Spanish," said Kim In-soon, an SBS official in charge of exporting TV program formats. "The idea behind 'Fantastic Duo' is something South American viewers are familiar with as they love song and dance. If the Spanish version, 'Duo fantastico,' is successful, we could also be optimistic about its entry into South America."
According to SBS, it will be the first time a Korean variety show has been reformatted and aired in Europe. The Spanish version has secured a slot during primetime on TVE's main channel TVE1. It could air as early as March.
The original program's first season ended last week after a seven-month run.
I still watch this all the time. Not only do they sound so good together, but they're so connected to each other. You know how sometimes when there's a duo and they stand like, 5 feet apart and don't even look at each other? So weird.
What's your fav Fantastic Duo performance, Omona?
