Upcoming episodes of Korea’s Comedy TV’s “Delicious Guys” will feature four celebrities sampling different cuisine at various Saipan restaurants. The Saipan episodes will air on three consecutive Fridays beginning on Oct. 20, 2017.
The hosts—Minsang Yoo, Junhyun Kim, Seyoon Moon, and Minkyung Kim—and 32 Comedy TV production crew members were on Saipan from Sept. 26 to Oct.1, 2017, on a familiarization tour organized by the Marianas Visitors Authority.
“The celebrities—and in fact, the whole TV production crew—were excited to have the opportunity to learn about Chamorro and Carolinian hospitality and culture,” said MVA managing director Christopher A. Concepcion. “Several of them expressed the desire to return with family or loved ones and to visit Tinian and Rota as well.”
Dining venues visited included the Garapan Street Market, Fiesta Resort & Spa’s Joyful Dinner Show, The Shack, Surf Club, Namdaemun, Oleai Beach Bar & Grill, IHOP, and Kensington Hotel Saipan’s East Moon restaurant.
Although the show’s main theme is food, “Delicious Guys” will also promote and highlight the Marianas as the perfect destination for family and leisure lovers.
The program will be released on its Comedy TV, as well as on its various social media channels including Facebook, YouTube, Naver TV Cast (the Korean version of YouTube), Instagram, and Twitter. The estimated ad value for the Marianas is $314,000.
The filming was further supported by Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan and Kanoa Resort Saipan for accommodations and Jeju Air for airfare. (MVA)
