Krazy Rich Korean may sound like it's connected to Crazy Rich Asians, but it’s actually KBS’ newest variety show. It celebrates Korea’s most extraordinary individuals. And no, it’s not all about luxury lifestyles. It’s about passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence.
What is Krazy Rich Korean really about?
Premiering on June 15, 2025, Krazy Rich Korean is a unique observational variety series. It showcases the lives of Koreans who have risen to international fame in their respective fields; be it music, sports, culinary arts, or entertainment. It airs every Sunday on KBS at 9:20 p.m. KST (5:50 p.m. IST).
Rather than diving into personal struggles behind fame, the show highlights their relentless ambition and ‘krazy’ passion that helped them reach global heights. It presents these success stories through a mix of documentary-style storytelling and engaging virtual video calls. This concept bridges the gap between stars and viewers.
