Kang Ho Dong has finished recording his first episode of his new KBS variety show.

The recording for the new show, officially titled as Moonlight Prince, took place on January 12 with Kang Ho Dong and his co- hosts, Max Changmin, Brave Brothers, Jung Jae Hyung and Tak Jae Hoon.

The mystery guests for the episode was kept under tight wraps but the producers did reveal the new show’s premise and format.

Moonlight Prince will be a book and theme focused talk show.

In it, the invited guest for the week will directly select a book of his or her choosing and the episode’s topics and themes will be centered around the selected book.

In this way, each week’s topic can range from such wide-spanning themes as adolescence to investment and more. The guests and MCs will then input their own experiences and thoughts on the topics.

In addition, a portion of the proceeds from each week’s episode will be donated to a charity of the guest’s choice.

The show’s producers are promising an entirely new and refreshing talk show format and confidently shared the first episode’s recording went beyond their expectations.

The first episode of Moonlight Prince premieres on January 22.

I'd actually be interested to see what books some of my biases would choose. Who do you want to be a guest on the show Omona, and what book do you think they'd choose?

Just so happy to see Shim on TV being his snarky adorbs self.

And I wonder if they'll let the MCs pick their book of choice as well. (And I hope Yunho will go on the show too.)

Lol. For real though, they should discuss how horribly written it is.

I can see Min reading some lines and then saying "But that's not how you pleasure a woman! He should have [...]"

This sounds so literary... but the show title is a bit cheesy. What does the moonlight and a prince have to do with books?

Thanks! I made it expressly for these purposes, haha.

The prince is probably Changmin and the promotional poster would be a picture of him reading under the moonlight.

idg these new talk/variety shows coming out. Joon and Kwanghee are supposed to be one that's like price is right meets match game? like they describe products and celebs have to guess how much they cost? like wtf? a banana costs $10 right? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl_Qyk9DSUw)

i've a hunch that changmin's going to talk about 1q84.

From: [identity profile] markthatcoin.livejournal.com
i love 1Q84 and can think of a ton of tie-in activities off the top of my head (playground, conservatory, self-defense, massage/spa).... but it's such a weird story it's hard to imagine it being discussed lol

hmm, i do agree that it is hard to find common ground when discussing murakami's books because there's a lot of ways to interpret his stories and you usually just get mindfucked in the end, lmao. i read after dark recently, and imo it was one of the easiest murakami reads, but halfway through the book i gave up on trying to find any depth to it and just looked at it in a very simplified manner, like all the separate stories/lives were a random salad toss.

but this comment made me sort of curious regarding changmin's thoughts on it, because he comes off as a very intelligent, well-read man and i wish he would share more of that side of him instead of his constant snarky ways, heh:
19) What book do you like?
Recently, I have been reading “1Q84” (T/N: Novel by Haruki Murakami)
Although I haven’t had much time to read, I was obsessed. I feel that it is a book with an indescribable charm. Actually, there are a lot of followers for Haruki Murakami in Korea. I also read “Norwegian Wood.”

/fellow murakami fan (-o⌒)

i think i'm just having a hard time wrapping this show's concept around my head. i'm sure some of the conversations can be thoughtful and insightful and genuinely interesting to those who haven't read the books, but i'm not sure how optimistic i can be about this happening every time :/

i relate to the being obsessed part... it took me months to finish the book but it was such a satisfying mindfuck in the end lol. i just started Norwegian Wood recently, i'm curious to see how it was put on film as it's been sitting in my Netflix queue for a while

hopefully you end up liking it, because i've heard so many people complain about it being draggy/slow in movie form, but they were those who didn't read the book and just didn't know what to expect. i think norwegian wood was based on human relationships (love, lust, friendship, strangers, everything in between) more than anything else, and there wasn't much plot to it? like most murakami books... lmao. so i guess the main focus would be the dynamics between the characters and seeing that translated on film. have fun with the rest of the book, it's great! :)

I think at least someone will, that books is like a staple in all Korean households. I've seen a copy in every single Korean home I've been to so far.

I'm kind of iffy about the premise, but if Changmin can showcase his snark in this show then I'm hooked.

They all need to choose Twilight, Team JACOB representing.

The investment part seemed abit iffy.

Tiffany would totally guest on this show bringing her copy of Twilight. LOL

She's unsurprisingly Team Edward though.

I could see guests selecting contemporary non-fiction books about investing/economics, technology, culture, globalization, climate, etc. I'm not sure how excited the PDs or hosts will be discussing those issues but I'd be interested in what Korea is saying about topics

Now I see why Changmin was picked as an MC, he's always reading something new and he carries at least two physical books with him. This is definitely the type of show he could have input on and as long as he stays true to himself and his snark, that and he's working with Kang Ho Dong, it shall be pretty interesting.

It's interesting but choosing all this ppl to talk about books??
well I have doubts...

I wish the show was subbed though, I want to discover Korean writers.

From: [identity profile] phonominal.livejournal.com
It would be interesting to hear about non-fiction topics in Korea or at least what guests have to say on it. Seems funny that most of the regular cast is related to the music industry too.
Definitely looking forward to more Changmin though :D

I want Junsu to go on and Changmin to tease him mercilessly about reading. But that's not going to happen.
