The Masked Singer: Korean talent show to make UK debut
A complaint often voiced about celebrities on reality shows is that many viewers have no clue who they are.
When it launched in 2015 in South Korea, the show originally known as The King of Mask Singer was a ratings and viral sensation. Now it's the UK's turn to speculate which household name has taken to the stage dressed as a butterfly, octopus, hedgehog or duck. "It's a great idea for a show, although when you see it written down on paper you wouldn't necessarily say it's going to work."
Jeong, a panellist on both the US and UK versions, describes his role as being"a bit of an enlightened idiot". "I hope the British will love it as much as everyone else," says presenter Joel Dommett."It's so joyous and tongue-in-cheek."
