Format

The show is composed of four segments:

  • Only This (딸랑 이거): featuring people with a humorous or unusual skill.
  • Train Me! (키워주세요): for contestants seeking to be famous.
  • Diet King (다이어트 킹): focusing on people attempting to lose weight. Shawn Lee, a previous winner, lost approximately 40 kg in 60 days.
  • Viewers upload videos of unusual events and stories to the official website. People and animals with unusual talents are then invited onto the program after being selected from these videos. The audience votes for their favorite person, video or story, and prize money is awarded to the contestant who receives the most votes.

    Episodes typically feature people from a variety of countries, including Brazil, Mongolia and Kenya. Participants are of all ages.

    Critical Reception

    At one point, Star King held the top spot in audience ratings of any prime time TV show on Saturday. It suffered a drop in ratings after a "fabrication" scandal.

    Star King was originally hosted by Kang Ho Dong, a well-known MC, who left the show among the scanty tax payment controversy.
