With Korean food, music, dramas and celebrities continuing to rank amongst some of the world’s most talked about pop cultural references, Disney+ Hotstar is helping viewers get their daily dose of Korea with five new weekly Korean variety shows launching from Friday to Tuesday starting August 22.

Covering a range of themes from speed dating and food challenges to fitness, celebrity shopping habits and more, the upcoming mid-form variety shows with about 25 minutes run time each, are sure to more than satisfy viewers’ Korea cravings.

Starting from August 22, viewers can enjoy:

Anchovy Physical Camp - Released every Friday starting August 22, this upcoming variety series sees some of Korea’s less active celebrities use nothing but grit and their complete lack of physical prowess to compete in a series of fun fitness challenges.

60 Minutes to Love – Released every Saturday starting August 23, this series follows Running Man star Ji Yeeun on her quest to find love. Throughout the 20-episode series, Ji Yeeun will go on 60-minute speed dates with men of all types and personalities in a bid to find her one true love.

Belly Showdown - Released every Sunday starting August 24, this upcoming series sees six personalities compete in a high-calorie comedic food challenge, using their unstoppable appetites to beat the competition.

YOO Got a Minute? - Released every Monday starting August 25, this series will be split into two parts. For the first 10 weeks Yoo Byungjae’s popular Why Did I Buy It series returns as You Bought What?! a variety series that examines celebrities’ bizarre spending habits. From week 11-20 the series will pivot to The Quiet Interview, a hilarious concept where interviewees struggle to keep a straight face during a series of bizarre interviews with only one rule – if you laugh the interview’s over!

Chef’s Go-To - Released every Tuesday starting August 26, take a trip off the eaten path with Korea’s famous chefs to explore some of their favorite back-alley eateries and hidden delights - all with the goal of helping you find your next unforgettable meal.

Each with 20 episodes until the year end, the upcoming debut of these five variety shows is the latest in a series of exceptional Korean content releases to debut on Disney+ Hotstar in recent years. In 2025 alone, viewers have immersed themselves in a world of mystery and murder with the year’s most watched Disney+ Hotstar Korean series - Nine Puzzles, have scrubbed in and gone under the scalpel with Hyper Knife, and have most recently explored treachery and treasure in ‘70s Korea with Low Life.
