      Korea has a lot of television entertainment program which are distributed by JTBC,MBC,KBS and SBS. 아는 형님 is one of the most popular television entertainment program in Korea right now. The concept of 아는 형님 explores the high school concept where the cast members act as students in a classroom while the guests would come as newly transferred students which is really interesting to me because I know that Korean have really strict rules about how young people should treat elders. However, in this show, they treated each other just like friends at the same age regardless of their real ages.  And expect this, the format of this show is also interesting. It is not only a talk show. The cast members will also play games with the guests and give them opportunity to show their talent. A lot of K-pop stars, actors, and singers say that they really like this show. So, I think instead of always mentioning running man, I should also introduce some television program with new concept in contemporary society.
