Roommate (Template:Lang-ko) is a South Korean reality show; formerly part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup. It was first scheduled to be aired on April 20, 2014, but due to the Sewol ferry tragedy and the temporary broadcast halt, the airing date was pushed to May 4, 2014. The show features eleven celebrities living together in a share house, sharing common spaces such as the kitchen, living room, and washrooms, as well as household tasks.[1] The house features sixty cameras and five bedrooms.[2] The program is a response to society today where single-person households are dramatically increasing and aims to show the life, troubles, and joys of twelve different celebrities as they form friendships, relationships and possibly enemies living together under one roof.[3]
Six of the original eleven roommates have left the show ending the first season of Roommate on September 14, 2014.[4] Seven new roommates have been added for a brand new second season beginning September 21, 2014.[5] With the return of K-pop Star to Good Sunday, Roommate moved to airing every Tuesday at 11:15 pm as a stand-alone program starting November 25, 2014.[6]
Season 1
The original roommates are Lee So-ra, Park Bom and Song Ga-yeon, Jo Se-ho and Lee Dong-wook, Nana and Hong Soo-hyun, Park Chan-yeol and Shin Sung-woo, and Park Min-woo and Seo Kang-joon.[7][8][9][10][11] This mix of singers, actors/actresses, comedians, models, DJs and martial artists who have little reality and variety program experience is expected to create new undiscovered characters and laughter.[12] On July 24, 2014, Baek Jung Ryeol of SBS announced that Park Bom has not participated in recordings since July 11, 2014 due to her amphetamine scandal which she was falsely accused of abusing[13] and has officially left the program, with her final episode airing on July 27, 2014.[14] On August 20, 2014, it was announced that Lee So-ra will leave the program due to the schedule conflicts.[15] On August 27, 2014, Song Ga-yeon was also confirmed to leave the show to focus on her career.[16] On September 1, 2014, Shin Sung-woo announced on Twitter he will be leaving the show.[17] On September 11, 2014, it was announced that Hong Soo-hyun will also be leaving to focus on her acting career.[18] On September 12, 2014, it was announced that Park Chan-yeol will also be leaving the show due to his busy schedule.[19] With more than half of the original members leaving the show, the producers announced a brand new season with new members alongside the remaining members of Season 1.[20]
Season 2
A new season of Roommate was announced following the departure of several members.[21] This season's concept is Home share, Whole share, where the members not only live together, but learn and share from each other. The new cast will consist of the remaining five roommates and seven new roommates. The new members feature a broad spectrum of the celebrities ranging from veteran stars to foreigners to rookie stars. The new roommates are Sunny, Park Joon-hyung, Jackson, Ryohei Otani, Lee Guk-joo, Bae Jong-ok, and Heo Young-ji.[22] With the return of K-pop Star to Good Sunday, it was announced that Roommate will move to Tuesday nights airing at 11:15 pm replacing Magic Eye beginning November 25, 2014.[6]
