Kang Ho-dong goes head-to-head with Strong Heart

[asth77.livejournal.com]

Oooh, this is an interesting development in varietyland. A Kim Seung-woo’s talk showWin-Win ets ready to g off the air Kang Ho-dong’s new KBS variety show has securedWin-Win’s time slot… which is in direct competition with his old SBS sho Strong Heart. (One of the many programs he left behind when he took temporary leave rom showbiz.)

What a way to circle back around and giv Shin Dong-yup hi Strong Heart eplacement) a run for his money. Not that the Daesang-winning Shin Dong-yup couldn’t handle it, of course. (In fact the two are even at the same agency now.) It’s just a small primetime playing field when you’re one of a few headlining MCs, and this kind of match-up was bound to happen at some point. The fact that it’s Kang Ho-dong’s big flagshi new how at KBS competing with his last new show at SBS is just icing on the showbiz cake of Fate.

The program has yet to pick a title, but it has an air date (Priorities!) and will launch on January 22. Until then I guess we’ll just call it the Kang Ho-dong Show. It’ll be a talk show and a variety show, which is pretty much the vaguest description ever. So… there’s talking, and laughs. Got it.

He does have a peanut gallery in place though: idol sta Changmin, singer/producerBrave Brother, and singer/songwrite Jung Jae-hyung pictured below) will be his co-hosts. Other than the fact that all three are singers, there’s almost nothing else they have in common. It’s a weird collection of co-hosts, but I’m sure there’s a concept there somewhere. Jung Jae-hyung never fails to make me laugh, because he’s possibly the biggest nerd on the planet. I’ll leave it to Kang Ho-dong to work his magic and make it all sensical in the end.

The Show That Will Not Be Named But Will Deliver Laughs airs Tuesdays on KBS.

is not just Changmin and Ho Dong-sshi? well damn Changmin needs to put is game on

I keep thinking Brave Brothers looks like a chubby older version of Zico in the face. I never really knew what he looked like until Inkigayo showed clips from the Color of Kpop stuff for the gayo daejun. The only pic I ever saw was an old one where he had the cap on the hoodie like Teddy. Now all I see is Zico when I look at him lol.

Looking forward to new Ho Dong variety shows! Information on this so far seems really vague though bleh.

Part of me keeps hoping 1N2Ds would take Ho Dong back, but Sugeun is the main MC now so it would kind of jumble things up :(

I feel like SH will win. But I wanna see the new show just to watch and laugh at Changmin.

Strong Heart's declined in ratings for the past year or so. Hodong and Seunggi leaving we're such huge blows to the show, and it's not what it used to be. Win Win was the ratings winner in that times lot for quite a while now.

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. I didn't know about the declining ratings. Makes sense though because half the reason SH was good imo was because of Hodong and Seunggi.

[adorkableninja.livejournal.com]

omg Jung Jae Hyung??? Now this gets more interesting XD
And ofc Changmin is a part of it too! Can't wait to see his MC skill!

I may be slightly Changmin biased but honestly, strong heart lost its interest to me a while ago. It just seems so heavily edited (more so than the other talk show I've seen?) Lets hope this new one will bring real laughs and none of that variety awkwardness :D

..or is that hoping for too much?

[shunluv.livejournal.com]

i hope this new show will be good.
i have faith of Hodong as great MC and im sure Changmin will do good under him<3
honestly i hate SH because the show is really cruel in editing a lot of part especially Changmin :P

[ghina93.livejournal.com]

Agreed! I'm hoping changmin will pull a kyuhyun and really shine, its about time he gets his own "thing"

[curryza.livejournal.com]

bb changmin will rock this show dont worry kang ho dong

[goldilocks2.livejournal.com]

The irony... Strong Heart is not what it use to be so his program will probably lead.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

I really hope Changmin does well. He has the tendency to let other people talk when he doesn't want to. This time around, he has to talk and put himself out there.

na even if he doesn't will just take up the Kim C role.(before he broke out his shell that is)
