If you have paid attention to the entertainment industry in South Korea throughout the years, you're probably familiar with the phrase "Yoo Line vs. Kang Line." These two lines refer to two very famous entertainers, Yoo Jae Suk and Kang Ho Dong. The "lines" refer to the celebrities that often star as regulars in their show programs.
Rookie entertainers try hard to get into these "lines" as it provides opportunities for these stars. Being on one of their shows almost guarantees success, as most of the shows that Kang Ho Dong and Yoo Jae Suk appear on are always successful.
Yoo Jae Suk has "adopted" celebrities to his line through his programs, such as Family Outing, Running Man, Infinity Challenge, and How Do You Play? While Kang Ho Dong was able to adopt people into his lines through programs such as 1 Night 2 Days, Star King, and Journey to the West. Yoo Jae Suk and Kang Ho Dong are both famous for taking extreme care of the people in their "lines," so it's definitely something that celebrities want to be a part of.
Today, we'll be taking a look at some of the notable stars that are in part with these lines and the shows that the stars have participated in.
