TV Variety Shows Set New Standards
Published on | Source
TV variety shows have been setting new standards recently by introducing segments on charity.
The "One Night Two Days" segment of KBS TV's "Happy Sunday" is one of these shows. Stars appearing in the segment visit Korea's famous scenic sites where they spend one night and two days and hold events for local residents.
When the show's cast visited the Dokdo islets, it cooked noodles for the coastguard. In one of the latest episodes, the cast visited Gageo Island, where it threw a pizza party for elementary school students. The episode received a favorable response from viewers and the island residents.
The widespread charity trend in TV shows apparently reflects the recently growing interest in celebrities' philanthropic activities. Moreover, viewers have become more demanding when it comes to variety shows. It is hoped that variety shows will be able to meet viewers' demands by combining volunteer work and charity with fun and laughter.
