From the controversial Jongwon Baek to the season 3 of 'Devils Plan', and the PD Na Young-seok's division will gather on Netflix.
Netflix held 'Netflix Entertainment Festival 2025' at a hotel in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 2nd and unveiled this year's and next year's entertainment lineup. At the event, Hwang Seul-woo PD of 'Crime Scene Zero', Jang Ho-ki PD of"Physical Asia", Kim Ye-seul PD of"Kenyan Three Meals" and"Lee Seo-jin's Dalla", Kim Hak-min PD of"Black and White Cook: War of the Cooking Classes 2", Kim Jae-won PD of"Solo Hell 5", Jeong Jong-yeon PD of"Mystery Investigation Team 2", Lee So-min PD of"Daehwan Jang 2"Yoo Jae-seok Camp", Kim No-eun PD of"Morta Solo but I Want to Date.
Over the past year, Netflix has released a variety of entertainment shows, including 'The influencer', 'Rookie Cho Jung-seok', 'Comedy Revenge', 'Black and White Cook: Cooking Class Wars', 'Zombie Bus: New Bloods', 'Rugby: Dying or Winning', 'Solo Hell 4', 'Devils Plan: Death Room' and 'Motasolo, but I Want to Date'. In addition, Netflix is drawing attention as it plans to release new entertainment shows this year and next year.
Director Yoo Ki-hwan, who is in charge of Netflix's entertainment, said, `Last year was a meaningful year. The Black and White Chef received a lot of attention and love, and the viewing time was also high. I think it was a little more meaningful in that entertainment works were not just that, but also that they could revitalize the restaurant industry as a whole. Not long ago, it was announced in the United States, and it said it would produce 'Physical 100'Physical USA' and is also planning 'Physical Italy' before that. Some countries are preparing their own versions, so they are proud of the Korean entertainment format being a representative. I think it's not just that viewing time and ratings are important, but that entertainment geography can lead to a sufficient cultural impact," he self-praised.
From this year to next year, Netflix will release mystery entertainers 'Crime Scene Zero', 'Mystery Investigation Team 2' and rival entertainers 'Physical: Asia' and 'Black and White Cooks: War 2'Cooking Class', Na Young-seok's entertainers 'Kenyan Three Meals'Lee Seo-jin's Dalla','Lee Seo-jin's love entertainment program 'Hell hell 5'I'm a single mother and son but I want to be in a relationship 2', 'Daehwanjang Gianjang 2' In addition, the production of 'Devils Plan 3', a brain entertainment program that was somewhat controversial through season 2, was also confirmed. Producer Jeong Jong-yeon announced the production of Season 3 and produced "'Devils Plan 3". I'll give you a little bit of news. It's a program where there are a lot of people who support me and there are a lot of people who criticize me, but there's something left to talk about, and when I asked myself if it was better or fun compared to last season, I thought it would be okay, so I decided to proceed with season 3" he said.
The competitive entertainment program 'Physical: 100', which was popular not only in Korea but also abroad, expands to Asia and unfolds as a national competition. Producer Jang Ho-ki said, `I think we should show better things to see if we make it a season system, but since we did it twice in individual competitions, we are preparing for the national competition this time. Eight countries will participate, and Pacquiao will participate as the representative of the Philippines. "When I fought the national competition, it was much more intense because I was proud to represent a country that did not exist in the individual competition, and I think you can expect it because the viewers had no choice but to watch it with bated breath."
Season 1 was so popular that it won the grand prize in the TV category at the Baeksang Arts Awards and the Blue Dragon Series Awards for Best Picture, but it was embroiled in controversy ahead of season 2. Controversy over the Jongwon Baek of judges continued while preparing for the filming of season 2, adding to the anger of viewers as they pushed ahead with the filming of season 2. 'Black and White Chef 2' is scheduled to be released in December. Director Yoo Ki-hwan "We confirmed the release of the work in December. I think what I've said many times was in a similar case, but we think carefully about this case. It seems that many people involved and participated in the work are thinking about what choices they are affected by. Since black and white is a program linked to 100 chefs and 3 to 400 staff, I thought it would be right to release it as scheduled and leave the judgment to the viewers.
There are controversial works, but there are also a number of works scheduled for next season with the love of viewers. It ended season 1 with an explosive response, and it is currently in the middle of a season 2 interview. Producer Kim Noh-eun of 'Mosol Love' said "If 4,000 people applied in season 1, about 12,000 people applied this time. We are still recruiting. As the number of applicants has increased compared to season 1, you can expect more diverse characters. Using trial and error as a stepping stone, we are preparing for a close-up type of Mosol. We'll do our best to verify that you're asking us if we're from the National Intelligence Service in season 1"I was confident.
In addition, producer Lee So-min of 'Dae-Jang-Gi-Jang' was impressed by the way he led the guests by changing to the perfect owner mode. As soon as the shooting was over, he said he could do well if he did it one more time. Director Yoo Ki-hwan also actively promoted Season 2, so we had no choice but to do Season 2"As soon as I heard the news of the confirmation of season 2, what Gian said was how to build the house. As Ulleungdo Island's guardhouse is intense, he seems to have felt burdened by himself. You've already brought a sketch, and as expected, it looked grotesque. The production team has not decided whether to leave the design to Gian again this time, but this time, it is Gian's idea, raising expectations.
There are also a number of new entertainment shows. Yoo Jae-seok, who has been active mainly in TV, YouTube, and Disney+, opens a new world of lodging entertainment through the 「Yoo Jae-seok Camp」. Producer Lee So-min said, `Yoo Jae-seok has been on a lot of entertainment shows so far, but it's his first time on an accommodation show. And I think the accommodation entertainment itself is a format that shows the owner's philosophy and taste, and I'm looking forward to Yoo Jae-seok's new appearance while running a guest house for the first time. I'm looking forward to Jae-seok's leadership, but I'm also looking forward to Yoo Jae-seok's sloppy appearance that I've never seen before." Currently, 55,000 teams have applied for the entertainment show, and expectations are high on what kind of painting will be completed.
In addition, the entertainment shows of Eggs Coming, led by producer Na Young-seok, will also collaborate with Netflix for the first time. It is expected that familiar formats will be presented with "Lee Seo-jin's Dalla' and 'Kenya Gan Three Meals'. Another point to watch is what differences they can show other than what they have shown in TV entertainment shows.
Director Yoo Ki-hwan said, `There is something that I think is a basic response to viewers as an entertainment producer to present the following season for a beloved work. As I confirmed the follow-up to the beloved work, it seems that the similar ratio has increased. Some of the works to be presented next year have not yet been released. Such works will be new. I would like to tell you that next year's IP will also introduce a new IP in addition to the subsequent seasons of successful works. Even if it feels like a follow-up to 'Jae-seok camp' is a completely new work. I think that there will be a completely different variety show with just the big format of the guest house variety show"I was confident.
