Actor Kim Soo-ro's life-immersed talk variety show 'Suro King', where he learns 'one move' in life from those who have become kings in their fields, will premiere on Friday, July 25. This marks his return to broadcasting after more than three years.
'Suro King' is a 'real human talk variety show' where actor Kim Soo-ro, who has passed his fifties yet still feels that life is uncertain, meets life masters called 'kings' in various fields, accompanying them in their daily lives to learn about their attitudes and philosophies.
He will meet various 'kings' across genres, including self-made entrepreneurs in Korea who have quietly reached the top with their own philosophies and artisans who have maintained their craft. Additionally, the show plans to expand its scope overseas to find the life stories of 'global kings'. There are high expectations for what stories those who have become 'kings' in different eras and locations will share.
In these meetings with domestic and international kings, actor Kim Soo-ro will join as the MC, bringing cheerful energy to interact with people and foster empathy. The production team noted, 'As the meetings are crucial to the program, we needed a host who could seamlessly integrate into their lives with genuine warmth and empathy,' and they highlighted Kim Soo-ro as 'the right person who can face the real kings of each field with sincere curiosity about people and honesty.'
The production team stated regarding the planning of 'Suro King', 'We cannot simply call someone a king just because they have a lot of money,' adding, 'In an era where the standard for success is defined solely by wealth, we wanted to ask different questions. We will discuss, 'How should one live? What is true success?'' They expressed their hope that Kim Soo-ro's cheerful reactions would create chemistry with the 'kings' and that 'Suro King' will also write a new history of kings.
Meanwhile, in the first episode airing on the 25th, Kim Soo-ro will begin his story by lingering around the 'king's house' early in the morning, without any information, to meet a king who has reached the pinnacle of a field. It raises curiosity about what king Kim Soo-ro will encounter and what 'one move' in life he will learn from the king he meets for the first time.
'Suro King' will begin its official release on July 25, and episodes will be released every Friday at 6:40 p.m. through the official YouTube channel of 'Suro King.'
