NU'EST's Ren, Han Hye Jin, Jun Jin, And More To Star In JTBC Variety Show About Pushovers

Aug 12, 2019

A new variety show is coming to JTBC!

“The Fool’s Chart” (literal title) is a show that releases weekly charts that are only compiled from the perspective of people who are pushover-types. From the “Fool’s Alert List,” for those who don’t want to be pushovers anymore, to the “List of Sensible Living for Fools,” for those who are not afraid to be a pushover for self-satisfaction, there will be entertaining discussions and fierce competition under the theme of the various charts.

The celebrities who will host the new variety show are Han Hye Jin, Shinhwa’s Jun Jin, NU’EST’s Ren, Jang Sung Kyu, and Jung Hyuk. Top model Han Hye Jin is an icon of self-management but is subtly clumsy and gullible, Jun Jin is brimming with both competitiveness and curiosity, and Ren is known as the “power passionate guy” in his group. Jang Sung Kyu is a TV personality rising in popularity while model Jung Hyuk shows unexpected clumsiness behind his charming appearance.

“The Fool’s Chart” will deal with a variety of topics, such as shopping, dieting, and human relationships, and the charts will be organized from first place to 10th place through research on men and women in their 20s and 40s. The five hosts will conduct discussions based on various clues and match the rankings through fun competitions.

In the show’s first teaser, the cast members gather around for a meal and joke around while the show pinpoints each member’s characteristics. Jang Hye Jin’s characteristic is to frequently get angry while Jang Sung Kyu is the type to easily get teased by others. Jun Jin is hilariously described as an “ancient idol” while Jang Hyuk is described as the type to say everything on his mind despite saying he’s afraid of the others. As for the maknae Ren, the cast members comment on how he’s like a baby. The teaser ends with the question, “So what are these fools doing?”

“The Fool’s Chart” will premiere on September 29 at 8 p.m. KST.
