ON MY RADAR: Rise of Yoon Hoo

Reality programs are all the rage in Seoul. They are much different that American reality (Real Housewives, Bachelor, Real World) in that they recruit celebrities (NOT the ones on their way to rehab) and put them in bizarre situations.

One of the rising shows is called “아빠어디가” which translates to Dad Where Are You Going. The premise is taking celebrity dads and their kid on camping trips. The kids are usually ages 6-7 and mostly boys (there’s only one girl).

There has only been a few episodes, but there’s already a shining star on the show: Yoon Hoo (윤후) or his nickname of Hoo. 

 Why is this kid so popular? 

 First off, the kid loves to eat and it is ADORABLE.

He also has a crush on fellow castmate Jia (the show plays this angle A LOT). 

The show is really fun and I think it gives a lot of insight into how the father/child dynamic is in Korea.
