Mnet's 'Golden Tambourine' recently premiered this past December 15, blowing everyone away with some of the shocking performances by the cast members during it's very first episode! The show's premise is that of cast members dividing into teams and competing against one another in karaoke performance battles.

MBC's 'Secretly Greatly'
Premiered this December 4, MBC brought back a classic favorite, the hidden camera prank show! Celebrities who wish to prank their fellow celebrity friends or group members can seek out help from the 'Secretly Greatly' team any time! During the latest episode, B1A4 teamed up with MCs Heechul and Lee Kuk Ju to pull a scary ghost prank on their leader, Jinyoung!

Male idols talk, do, and try out everything makeup in OnStyle's newest beauty show!

TV Joseon's 'Idol Party'
It's not a broadcasting station you hear about everyday, but TV Joseon has decided to cater to a broader audience by launching a program exclusively about idols! The show is divided into two parts - one part brings on an idol group as guests to play games and bring out their unseen variety potential, while in part two, comedian couple Park Mi Sun and Lee Bong Won become on-screen parents to NCT's Yuta and CLC's Sorn! On the latest episode, the on-screen family went for a fun swim during their vacation in Bali!
5.
Mnet's 'Yang and Nam Show'
Another show centered around idol groups, MCs Eric Nam and Yang Se Hyung come up with unique tasks and formats for their idol guests to show fans newer, fresher sides per episode. It's been difficult to catch our favorite idol groups at the center of attention on variety shows these days, so this one is a treat for all K-Pop fans! You can watch Red Velvet and MC Yang Se Hyung doing a speed quiz about girl group songs, above!
6.
KBS2's 'Trick & True'
The show that replaced 'Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education', 'Trick & True' deals with nothing close to sports, but science and magic! Each episode, magicians and/or experts perform tricks for a panel of celebrities, and the panel is responsible for guessing whether or not the trick is a magic trick or a scientific phenomenon! Watch a clip from the show above!
7.
tvN's 'Eat Sleep Eat'
tvN's 'Eat Sleep Eat' combines the trending mukbang broadcast format with the also trending travel variety show, led by chef/businessman Baek Jong Won! It consists of seasons, with the last season in Krabi, Thailand wrapped up last week, and a new season in Sentosa, Singapore beginning next Tuesday! Watch the preview for the new season with SHINee's Onew and DIA/IOI's Jung Chae Yeon above!
8.
SBS's 'Flower Crew'
A lot of you may already be avid fans of SBS's 'Flower Crew', which, after a rough start with it's original cast and format, was taken in under YG Entertainment and whipped up into shape as a Sunday must-watch show full of laughs and idols! The show's members and guests rely on chance and strategy to determine who enjoys luxury and who enjoys hardship. Big Bang's Seungri had a thing or two to say about his group hyung Daesung as a guest on the latest episode, above!
9.
MBC every1's 'Video Star'
When it premiered back in July, it garnered quite the attention for being the female counter part of 'Radio Star'. Although not nearly as popular as it's counter part yet, 'Video Star' allows stars whom you might not see on 'Radio Star' to come out as guests and share their fun stories with viewers! The guests include a good mixture of idols, actors, comedians, and all kinds of tv personalities!
10.
JTBC's 'A Hyung I Know'
It's been exactly a year since JTBC launched 'A Hyung I Know', and the show has grown into one where viewers can bank on a good laugh when tuning in, without caring about whether or not they like the guests. Many of you who keep up with it have probably grown fond of the mostly-ahjusshi's cast, and they always do a good job of making the guests and the viewers have a good time, no matter how weird it is that these ahjusshi's are pretending to be in school... plus we love seeing idol group guests play the weirdest games!
