The show is also a project designed to build friendship between Korean and Japanese stars. Along with the iKON members who will appear as the students of “President YANG’s High School”, seven Japanese rising stars will appear as the students of “Tokyo Girls’ High School”.

There have been some Korean TV shows in which foreign stars appeared, but “iKON’s School Trip” is the first-ever Korean TV show in which as many as 14 foreign stars appear. The production of the show was possible thanks to YG Entertainment’s strong global network. After “iKON’s School Trip” show that will display the process of building friendship between Korean and Japanese stars, the next season of the show will present stars from another country.
iKON members who had missed ordinary school life and school trip because of their career are going on a school trip to Jeju Island for five days and four nights. With such trip for recovery of lost memories, iKON members will delete one item in their bucket list.
The lineup of teachers who will lead the school trip is drawing keen attention as well. Jung Hyung-don will prevent students’ deviation and Jo Se-ho will play the role of the teacher for the class of iKON. Kim Shin-young will play the role of a cheerful and playful teacher of Tokyo Girls’ High School. Sayuri and Lee Tae-im will act as trainee teachers.
The show’s producer YG Entertainment explained, “Stars from Korea and Japan who have lived in different places so far will have various experiences of both countries’ culture and sentiment. The most interesting point of the project is the reaction and emotions of the stars from the two countries”.
