The highly anticipated South Korean series “Apartment 404”, starring BLACKPINK’s Jennie is set to reach a global audience next month. It will be aired on the South Korean channel TVN and also on an OTT platform Amazon Prime for an international audience.
BLINKS, the official name for fans of the girl group BLACKPINK, has been eagerly anticipating Jennie to appear on-screen. The idol hasn’t been involved in television show projects since “The Idol” premiered in 2023.
TVN, one of the leading players in the South Korean television industry, is launching a brand new variety show in which Jennie will be one of the participants!
Here is a comprehensive all you need to article about the upcoming variety show!
Apartment 404 Release Date: When to watch?
Earlier this day, TVN confirmed the show’s release date. The star-studded variety show will be making its South Korean debut on February 15, 2024, at 8:40 KST. Korean residents can tune in to the TVN television channel to watch the show.
International fans can stream the show on the Amazon Prime Video streaming platform from February 23 onwards. Episodes will be released weekly on every Friday.
Apartment 404: Teaser
The upcoming variety show teaser was recently dropped on TVN’s YouTube channel. The video showcases the six contestants of the show, or “residents” as they are called, curiously checking out their surroundings.
Jae Sook quips that something must have happened within the apartment, as the other residents start searching for clues to make sense of their current predicament.
Even though the show is touted as being in the mystery genre, the teaser assures the fans that plenty of hilarious and chaotic moments will be present in the show.
Apartment 404: Cast
In December last year, the cast of “Apartment 404″ was confirmed via an official YouTube video. BLACKPINK member Jennie will take part in the show. The idol appeared in SBS’ Village Survival, The Eight back in 2018, which was her last variety show appearance.
Other cast members include Yoo Jae Suk and Yang Se Chan, best known for their roles in “Running Man,” “Moving” actors Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Jung Ha, and Oh Na Ra of Alchemy of Souls fame.
What is Apartment 404?
“Apartment 404” (working title) is an upcoming variety series in which six members will try to uncover the mysteries and secrets of apartments in South Korea.
One unique feature that this show possesses is that it isn’t the standard, run-of-the-mill variety show. Each episode will feature a unique setting in terms of location and time period! Additionally, every episode’s events are based on true stories.
The six members will be segregated into two teams to compete against each other. Other than the six members, as the show progresses special guests will make surprise appearances.
Directed by Jung Chul Min, the mastermind behind another variety show “Six Sense”, Apartment 404 is a mystery slash comedy series that features an apartment setting.
