Netflix is launching a new variety show titled 'Why Are You Doing This Trekking?', which chronicles the first-ever winter mountain expedition undertaken by a group of celebrities. The program promises a blend of adventure, humor, and personal challenge as the participants navigate the rugged terrain.
The cast comprises singer Car, the Garden, Day6 member Dowoon, actor Lee Chae-min, and YouTuber Tarzan. These four individuals, described as 'unwilling trekkers,' are embarking on a demanding journey into a snowy mountain landscape during the harsh winter season. Their lack of prior experience in such extreme conditions is expected to create compelling television.
Adding to the production's star power are renowned PDs Na Young-seok and Park Hyun-yong, known for their successful variety shows. Their involvement suggests a high level of production quality and entertainment value. The show's premise centers on the 'my legs, my mountain' (๋ด๋ฐ๋ด์ฐ) concept, highlighting the personal and often reluctant nature of their adventure.
The production presentation for 'Why Are You Doing This Trekking?' was held on August 12th at Hotel Naru Seoul in Mapo-gu. The event provided an opportunity for the cast and crew to discuss the show's concept and their expectations for the expedition, setting the stage for the upcoming broadcast.
