To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the AlphaGo match, KBS 2TV's new variety show 'Unemployed Lee Sedol' has confirmed its premiere in October and released two teaser posters.

The KBS2 program 'Unemployed Lee Sedol' (directed by Lee Myeong-seop), which is set to air this October, follows the real-life analog survival story of 'In Ryu (CEO) unemployed' Lee Sedol, who made history with a legendary victory against AlphaGo in 2016 before leaving the Go world. Ten years after that historic match, he has stepped down from the Go board and now directly enters a workplace where AI cannot replace him as a true source of livelihood.

'Unemployed Lee Sedol' brings together PD Lee Myeong-seop of 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' and 'Method Club', along with writer Yu Ji-hye of 'Born to Travel the World (Taegyeilju)', generating high expectations.

The two released teaser posters hint at Lee Sedol's unfamiliar yet vivid present as he stands in a workplace. One image shows him riding an old scooter under an open sky, heading somewhere; the other captures him hanging by a single rope on the exterior wall of a dizzying high-rise building, cleaning windows. Both visuals keep his face hidden, sparking curiosity about what expression lies beneath the helmet.

Earlier, Lee Sedol made a surprise appearance at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on August 27, igniting intense buzz on online platforms. After throwing the ceremonial first pitch from the pitcher's mound, he was later seen carrying a heavy beer bag while climbing the stadium steps. This led to explosive reactions and eyewitness accounts such as "Is that really Lee Sedol?" and "The latest update on someone who lost their job to AI." The reason why he was sweating profusely at the baseball field will be revealed through the broadcast.
