The “SynchroU Detective Team” lineup, composed of Lee Juck, Lee Yong-jin, Hoshi, Karina and Jonathan, is already drawing attention. Notably, with the show’s regular season confirmed, the addition of the strong “maknae” (youngest) line—SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi, aespa’s Karina and Jonathan, known for his lively MZ Generation vibe—is expected to keep viewers engaged with their mix of seriousness and playful antics.
Veteran singer-songwriter Lee Juck and comedian-singer Lee Yong-jin form the senior lineup. In the pilot, despite being a top musician, Lee Juck was humorously dubbed a “clueless character” due to his lower-than-expected correct answers. Meanwhile, Lee Yong-jin was recognized as the “brain” of the detective team, impressing with his unexpected deductive skills. Their comeback is highly anticipated, with expectations for their contrasting roles.
Nation’s MC Yoo Jae-suk is set to shine with his chemistry on music variety shows. He has proven to be a top MC, appealing to both older and younger generations, with his shows frequently ranking in the top 20 non-drama buzzworthy programs (according to Good Data Corporation). Known for his trendy taste and extensive network in the entertainment industry, Yoo Jae-suk’s role as the MC of his only variety music show “SynchroU” is highly anticipated. Viewers are curious to see what upgraded stages and formats the show will bring in its regular season.
The first episode of KBS 2TV’s “SynchroU” will air on Monday, September 16th at 6:40 PM, during the Chuseok holiday. Starting with the second episode, the show will air every Monday at 8:30 PM.
