What does X-man mean?

"X-Man", a very popular Korean variety show, is known as the "Korean version of "X-Man".

"X-Man" has been broadcast on South Korea's SBS TV station in the first half of 2005. So far, its domestic ratings in South Korea have maintained a share of 25, and it has firmly become the variety show ratings champion. Many netizens watched this program through various channels. "X-Man" debuted on Southern Channel this week. The first batch of guests include superstars such as Shinhwa, TVXQ, former Hot members, and the beautiful girl group BABY VOX. The game segment of the show is quite exciting, like a game version of "Infernal Affairs" - the two competing parties have to pass a number of cruel game tests to find out who the "X-Man" who has been wreaking havoc on the team is. The host Kang Ho-dong makes gags in every episode and implements the crazy funny spirit. He is known as the "Korean version of Eric Tsang". In the days when Hong Kong's "prize gatekeepers" have come to an end, "X-Man" may once again set off a variety show storm!

It is reported that most of the programs introduced by Southern Channel are relatively new, and most of them were broadcast in South Korea this year. Southern Channel dubbed the program in Mandarin, but still retained the Korean undertones, striving to be authentic and better reflect the lively atmosphere of the scene, which is more in line with the taste of Korean fans. In addition, the screen is also equipped with Chinese subtitles and a series of computer-produced "funny narrations" and animations, hosted by the channel's host Xu Yanling.

The host of the two major Korean entertainment programs "X-Man" and "Love Letter" is Kang Ho-dong, a former wrestler who is 182cm tall and weighs 115kg. He is the complete "heightened Korean version of Eric Tsang". He is active in thinking and articulate. He often makes jokes and dances in Busan dialect. The "old bachelor" behaves crazier than the handsome boy, always pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

In South Korea, the bottom line of variety shows is stricter than that of variety shows in Japan, Taiwan and even Hong Kong. They have an old saying: "Variety shows must be watched by the daughter-in-law and her father-in-law together without feeling uncomfortable." Embarrassing." Therefore, the dirty jokes or indecent game moves that frequently appear in programs such as "The Prize Man" will basically disappear in "X-Man", and it will not be immoral if the whole family watches this program together.

Korean Red Stars Show Off

According to reports, the guests of this program include most of the current Korean red stars, such as TVXQ, Shinhwa, Yoon Eun Hye, Kim Jong Un, etc. However, from the clips edited by Southern Channel, the reporter found that there seemed to be not many familiar Korean stars. In this regard, the program manager regretfully said that stars who are familiar to Chinese audiences and are currently popular, such as Rain, Bae Yongjun, Jun Jihyun, etc., are busy due to busy schedules. Their acting career and their popularity no longer need to be driven by the show, and they did not appear in the show. Some of the stars on the show may not be familiar to Chinese audiences because they have not yet entered the Chinese market, but true "Korean fans" are definitely not unfamiliar with them. This program can also be said to be a popular machine in South Korea. The clothes worn by the artists in the show, the hairstyle they wore, the dances they performed, and the spoken words they spoke have all become the most popular elements among young people in South Korea nowadays.

■ Minister Ronghui and Mr. Nanchang Hao, general manager of Guangzhou Judong Culture Communication Company, which introduced the program, introduced that the "X-Man" program was founded by South Korea's SBS TV station in early 2005 and is broadcast every Sunday from 18:30 to 19:30. It airs once a week and is divided into two episodes (upper and lower). When it was broadcast in South Korea, the ratings peaked at an average of 25 and have remained at this level. In the Korean television industry before, it was difficult for variety shows to have ratings above 20. "X-Man" was the first program to break through this figure. Among all the Korean dramas introduced to China on SBS TV, only "Lovers in Paris" reached 25.

The main audience of this program in South Korea is teenagers, and it is also very popular among young people in China. Many netizens download the program through the Internet. "X-Man" is still popular in South Korea, with 120 episodes (60 issues) aired. In 2006, SBS TV station originally planned to stop producing the program "as soon as it was good" because most variety shows in South Korea were popular for less than two years. However, because "X-Man" was firmly rooted in the hearts of Korean audiences, SBS The TV station finally decided to continue the show.
