[TV Talk Talk] iKON and pets… The reason why people are looking forward to “Marie & Me” show
[OSEN=이소담 기자] Boy group iKON’s member B.I and KIM JINHWAN will appear in JTBC TV’s new show “Marie & Me”. That will be iKON’s first TV show appearance as regular cast. As iKON have not appeared on TV frequently since their debut, fans are paying keen attention to “Marie & Me” show to be first aired on December 16.
In “Marie & Me” show where B.I and KIM JINHWAN will appear, the cast members will take care of other people’s pets for a fixed period of time. The show will depict stories that take place between the cast members and the pets. It is also the first JTBC show in which famous MC Kang Ho-dong appears. Seo In-guk, Lee Jae-hoon, Eun Ji-won, Shim Hyung-tak, and Kim Min-jae have confirmed their appearance in the show, too.
So far, most of the TV shows that depicted stories of stars with animals have been focused on emotional “healing”. In Korea, there is a saying which goes, “If a person likes babies and animals, he is never a bad person”. As such, babies and animals are the purest creatures on earth. So, communication between stars and animals have given viewers of those TV shows kind of psychological rest, especially for those who were tired of the complexity in human relationships.
The birth of another one of such pure and good TV shows is being welcomed by the public. People are paying especially keen attention to the chemistry (harmony) to be created between iKON and pets. They might take care of the animals skillfully, or get surprised by unexpected behaviors of those animals. Since B.I and KIM JINHWAN actually have dogs, they are expected to show better harmony and emotional exchanges with animals.
Plus, as B.I and KIM JINHWAN have not appeared on TV that frequently since their debut, general TV viewers other than iKON fans cannot expect what the two will show on TV. People are paying keen attention to what kind of talent and wits B.I and KIM will present in their first TV show, as the two have accumulated some experiences of performing in TV music shows before their debut in Mnet’s “WIN” and “MIX & MATCH”. Plus, another point of people’s interest in the show is whether B.I and KIM will become popular TV stars by creating harmony with already-famous TV stars such as Kang Ho-dong and Eun Ji-won, as well as other cast members including Seo In-guk, Lee Jae-hoon, Shim Hyung-tak, and Kim Min-jae.
iKON have not appeared on either TV shows nor music shows that frequently so far since their debut, but now that B.I and KIM JINHWAN have joined “Marie & Me” show as regular cast, fans will be able to see iKON more on TV.
The first episode of “Marie & Me” show will be broadcasted on JTBC on December 16 at 10:50pm.
