Seo In-young is not a stunning beauty with a god-given voice, but what sets the 26-year old apart from other celebrities is her frankness.

And now Seo is back in yet another reality program "Seo In-young's Brand New Friend," a follow-up to "Seo In-young in KAIST." "Some might criticize me, saying how full of myself I must be to make a friend through an open audition," she says. "But I decided to come back to a reality program because I thought making a friend is a form of adventure in an age where it is so difficult to find someone you can fully trust."

The show started on May 14 on a cable channel M.net. Twelve participants wishing to be Seo's friend are given a mission every week, and one person gets eliminated. The last survivor becomes her friend. No fewer than 5,000 people applied to be part of the show, and only one in 400 made it. Is Seo this popular? "Honestly, some people must have applied because they want to be a celebrity themselves, and many of them must have had other intentions, rather than purely wanting to be my friend," Seo admits. "Many people try to befriend you based on your background, rather than taking you as you are. That's especially true among celebrities. In the show, I will try to find someone who can really understand and like me."

Many people point out that Seo's show is a mere copy of Paris Hilton's "My New Best Friends Forever" on MTV. "I also thought the show had many similarities with Hilton's show," Seo says. "But I'm different from Paris Hilton. Because the show is about how I deal with people and make friends, there must be a difference that only I can create."

I think the premise of the show was just "celebs going to really, really amazing schools for a few weeks". Right now they're starting one up with MC Mong going to medical school, so I'm not sure it has anything to do with their personal interests :)

i do not like this girl. in WGM she was entertaining but disrespectful to crown J and is constantly changing her face .. she should have just stayed at the minor surgeries after her debut. she would have been more likable..

they would probably rip each other's faces off in one of their catfights with each other. oh wait, that's what paris and nicole did! YEAH BFFS NOW. LOL.

at least then seo in-young would have a legit excuse for plastic surgery.

Aren't Kara doing the same thing? It's not even that great of an idea for a reality show, why are they doing it IDGI

I am interested to know where Seo In Young's huge ego came from. Tbh she was a bit annoying in We Got Married.

huh. would she treat her best friend like how she treated crown J in WGM? that would be some nightmare. but maybe her huge collection of shoes is appealing enough.....who knows, she might feel generous enough to share. :D

I'm loling at the thought that someone might bring this up as ~plagiarism again and homie who commented on 2NE1 will come back with: "To say the truth, this is like the first time they do this in our country. This is not counted as plagiarism.” XD

While we're comparing it to Paris Hilton, we can't forget to compare it to Brody Jenner and his search for Bromance.
