Na Young Seok is launching a new variety show—and he is teaming up once again with Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik, and Jung Yu Mi.
According to industry sources on January 29th, the three stars have received offers to appear in Na’s upcoming reality show and are currently coordinating their schedules. The program is expected to begin filming domestically in February.
The new show will reunite familiar faces from the Youn’s Kitchen, Youn Stay, and Jinny’s Kitchen universe, but with a twist. This time, the series brings together the former Jinny’s Kitchen staff—without their on-screen boss, Lee Seo Jin.
The lineup puts the spotlight back on the chemistry between Jung Yu Mi, Park Seo Joon, and Choi Woo Shik, whose easygoing dynamic has been a key part of the franchise’s appeal. Their return, paired with Na Young Seok’s signature production style, is already drawing strong anticipation.
Na, who has led a string of hit variety shows including 2 Days & 1 Night, the Over Flowers series, and Earth Arcade, is known for building long-running creative partnerships with his casts. The absence of Lee Seo Jin, often referred to as Na’s on-screen persona, is expected to bring a fresh dynamic and new energy to the format.
The new show is slated to premiere on tvN in the first half of the year.
