'Choo-soo-san (Mountain)' takes responsibility for viewers' joyful weekends.

MBC's new variety program 'Choo-soo-san (Mountain)', set to premiere on May 3 at 6 p.m., has revealed viewing points to make the broadcast even more enjoyable as Yoo Se-yoon, Jang Dong-min, Heo Kyung-hwan, Boom, and Yang Se-hyeong prepare for a thrilling summit race.

1. A new concept variety show where power is accumulated! Who will be the first Choo-soo?

'Choo-soo-san (Mountain)' is Korea's first 'real hardship mountain' variety show, featuring intense competition toward the summit through various missions set in the mountains. Yoo Se-yoon, Jang Dong-min, Heo Kyung-hwan, Boom, and Yang Se-hyeong will complete diverse missions scattered from the mountain entrance to the summit, collecting acorns, the only currency in the show. The member with the most acorns at the end of each episode earns the honor of becoming that episode's Choo-soo.

Especially, since the Choo-soo receives enormous benefits, each acorn is precious. A single acorn can become grounds for commands, transactions, or betrayal, and members are said to engage in one-on-one showdowns to secure acorns. Thus, attention is focused on who will emerge as the first Choo-soo amidst the exciting developments.

2. Found it! A new dining companion! Yoo Se-yoon, Jang Dong-min, Heo Kyung-hwan, Boom, and Yang Se-hyeong form an unbeatable comedy lineup!

Yoo Se-yoon, Jang Dong-min, Boom, and Yang Se-hyeong, who competed for the male Choi U (수상) at the '2025 MBC Entertainment Awards', along with variety's rising star Heo Kyung-hwan, have all gathered. The 1.5-generation variety stars bring full of personality: Yoo Se-yoon, showing the confidence and ease of a Choi U-su-sang (수상); Jang Dong-min, the brain who grasps game intentions and reads minds; Heo Kyung-hwan, who competes with physical strength without tricks or schemes; Boom, who maintains the energy and tension with tireless vitality; and Yang Se-hyeong, fully equipped with awareness, quick reflexes, and clever wits. Their diverse characters promise great fun.

Furthermore, the five members' diverse chemistry, born from various combinations, amplifies the fun. Their relationships flip like a hand turning over, sometimes as teammates, sometimes as rivals. They alternate between smooth banter and playful conflict, unleashing the strongest comedy synergy as they aim to become everyone's new dining companion.

3. A new K-tourism keyword, the charm of mountains! The first destination is the summit of Yongmasan!

Since mountains, which make up about 70% of South Korea's territory, serve as the stage for 'Choo-soo-san (Mountain)', the show aims to deliver rich visual content by capturing both dopamine-inducing competitions and stunning scenery. The first destination is the summit of Yongmasan, where viewers can enjoy nature blending trees, rocks, and bird songs, along with a view overlooking Seoul's city center.

The production team stated, "In fact, mountains are not considered a very good subject for broadcasting. They can easily appear boring, and the filming environment is not easy. Nevertheless, we chose mountains because they are a trend." They added, "We aimed to capture the charm of Korea's beautiful mountains, which are attracting attention overseas, in the most entertaining way possible, embodying the appeal of K-mountain travel. We hope viewers will enjoy watching the intense competition among top variety stars in the mountains and experience the new charm of hiking."
