Real life F4 gets reality show?

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

After the huge success of Boys Over Flowers, it seems someone thought having a reality show following the lives of four real life rich flower boys would be a good idea. Coming soon to Korean cable channel On Style is Papa Rich (파파리치), which will follow the luxurious life of four young chaebeols. The four players in this show are: Eom Seong Mo, 25 the son of a medical family that owns several hospitals; Yoon Suk Min, 25 son of parents who own a financial group; Kim Hyung Woo, 21 grandson of the K Group; and Park Jae Young, 20 grandson of the M Company.

The show follows their life in which their family’s fortunes puts them in the top 1% of the Korean population in terms of wealth. They have allowances in excess of ₩20,000,000 ( yes, all those zeros are correct – about $20,000) a month, drive luxury foreign cars, and ‘hang out’ with friends in ways beyond what most of us are able to. The four are said to have different and interesting personalities and the show will follow all aspects of their life not just the happy and fun stuff, but also all the stress and difficulties they experience. They grew up going to all the upper class schools, leading somewhat sheltered lives, and have much pressure on them regarding their futures. Hmmm, talk about life imitating art. I wonder if one of them will fall in love with the plucky daughter of a dry cleaner, and then his mom finds out and goes ballistic, but then his best friend falls in love with her too?

If you’re interested in seeing a real life Boys Over Flowers, the debut episode will be on January 10th at 2:oo pm in Korea. Check out the preview of the show here, courtesy of wkfzldnj.

I don't think any of them look like flower boys...

[loose-shoe.livejournal.com]

LOL MTE. i first reaction was: so actual chaebols never look as good as idols who act as them in dramas do.

[asteri5k.livejournal.com]

They're not flower boys though.

[asteri5k.livejournal.com]

This is going to be like NYC Prep-Gossip Girl.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

They look like 30 year old men and not even good looking 30 year old men

[girlknees.livejournal.com]

IDK how I feel about this. For one thing, it's missing the Cinderella/love triangle aspect of the original story. And, IDK if I'm interested in a show about a bunch of rich jerks who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth. But then, shows like that fell out of favor here in the states when that big ol' Recession hit.

HOLY COW BOF REALITY SHOW

[centric-xx.livejournal.com]

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

just curious, with all money they have why don't they do some basic plastic surgery?

I mean, they're korean *shots*

[xyrisquint.livejournal.com]

They don't need to coz they're rich...
As far as I've heard, most Koreans get plastic surgery for better job and SO prospects.
These guys have a secure job (I didn't watch the vid. but I'm guessing they'll either inherit the family business or get a a sizable inheritance)and any (not self-respecting) girl will marry them for their money.
