Disney+ is bringing even more Korea to your screen this August with five new Korean variety shows set to premiere weekly from Friday to Tuesday, starting August 22.
From quirky food challenges and offbeat fitness games to speed dating, celebrity shopping habits, and secret foodie spots, these mid-form variety shows — each running about 25 minutes — offer quick but satisfying doses of humor, heart, and culture.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
‘Anchovy Physical Camp’
Get ready for some hilarious gym-time chaos as some of Korea’s least athletic celebrities throw themselves into a series of unpredictable physical challenges. With no strength, little stamina, and all heart, it’s a comedy workout you won’t want to miss. New episodes will stream every Friday starting August 22.
’60 Minutes to Love’
“Running Man” star Ji Ye-eun embarks on a mission to find love, going on 60-minute speed dates with men of all kinds across 20 episodes. Will she find her match? Or just more mayhem? Watch new episodes every Saturday starting August 23.
‘Belly Showdown’
Six contestants, countless calories, and absolutely no shame. “Belly Showdown” brings big appetites and even bigger laughs in this competitive food challenge full of messy moments and outrageous eating. New episodes will be available every Sunday starting August 24.
‘YOO Got a Minute?’
This two-part variety series kicks off with 10 weeks of “You Bought What?!” where Yoo Byung-jae dives into the wildest celebrity purchases. The second half flips the format with “The Quiet Interview,” a laugh-or-lose interview show where the first one to crack a smile loses. Expect new episodes every Monday starting August 25.
‘Chef’s Go-To’
Take a tasty detour with Korea’s top chefs as they lead you to their favorite back-alley restaurants and local food haunts. “Chef’s Go-To” is all about uncovering hidden gems and unforgettable flavors. New episodes will drop every Tuesday starting August 26
Each of the five shows will air 20 episodes through the end of the year, giving fans something to look forward to almost every day of the week.
The launch of these variety shows adds to an already exciting year of Korean content on Disney+. In 2025, fans have been hooked on the crime mystery “Nine Puzzles,” gone under the knife with “Hyper Knife,” and hunted for treasure in gritty ’70s Korea with “Low Life.”
