'Donseontae's Era of Success' First Broadcast Postponed to August

The scheduling for the new variety program 'Donseontae's Era of Success,' which was originally set to premiere on the 28th at 11 p.m. via KBS 2TV, has been postponed. A KBS official confirmed that the first broadcast has indeed been delayed and that the exact scheduling has not yet been determined. During the 11 p.m. slot on the 28th, Studio K's 'Lee Mujin Service,' which was previously scheduled, will air instead.

This scheduling change is reportedly a measure to improve the program's quality and strengthen its composition as regular broadcast content. Accordingly, the first broadcast is expected to take place in August, approximately two weeks later than originally planned.

A 'Small Room Talk Show' Meeting the Protagonists of Success Myths

'Donseontae's Era of Success' is a talk variety show in which Kim, who moved to Seoul dreaming of greater success, invites the protagonists of the success myths that move South Korea to his small rented room in Seoul. The show features a format where he invites guests to his own space to directly ask and listen to their secrets to success.

Attention is focused on what Kim Seon-tae, who built his character while running the official YouTube channel during his tenure as a Chungju City official, will show as a solo MC on terrestrial television. After retiring from his position as a public official, Kim Seon-tae has been active through his personal YouTube channel, 'Kim Seon-tae.'

YouTube Release Schedule and Operation Method

Due to the scheduling change, there is a high possibility that the YouTube upload cycle will also change. Previously, the full videos were scheduled to be released every Wednesday through the YouTube channel 'KBS Entertain,' but as the main broadcast has moved to Monday, the YouTube release timing may also shift to Tuesday. However, the specific upload date has not yet been finalized.

There are no changes to the previously planned framework, such as the program's composition or the cast. Kim Seon-tae is currently continuing his activities through his personal channel.
