[08.12.01][news] Who are the shining stars of the variety scene for 2008?

This year has been a bumper year for variety programmes as many variety shows enjoyed great support and high ratings. 2008 also saw stiff competition between Sunday evening programmes such as Family Outing (SBS), 1 Night 2 Days (KBS2) and We Got Married (MBC). It's no wonder that viewers are now caught in a dilemma of choice.

For the case of Family Outing, their ratings have reached nearly 30%, comparable to that of dramas.

Having first joined the show as "the guy who just rolled in", Junjin has worked his way to becoming a fixed member of Infinity Challenge. He's also currently on SBS Yashimmanman Season 2 as a co-MC, and his talent in variety hasn't gone unnoticed.

According to PD Choi Young In of YSMM Season 2, "The moment you meet Junjin you can feel that he's a very passionate person, especially when he talks to people. His serious expression is quite amusing, although I hate to say this, but sometimes we really need his seriousness to create the laughter."

Besides the aforementioned Yoon Jong Shin, Lee Cheon Hee, Crown J and Junjin, many other singers, actors and comedians have also shone brightly in variety programs this year, such as Lee Seunggi, Eun Jiwon, Seo In Young, Kim Suro, and Big Bang's Daesung.
