The Chinese version of ‘We Got Married‘ is drawing interest from fans for incorporating both top Chinese stars as well as Hallyu idols, and will finally be airing it’s first episode in China just in time for Valentine’s Day.
According to MBC, the Chinese ‘We Got Married’ will air via entertainment channel SMG (Shanghai Media Group) as a Valentine’s Day special on February 13th & 14th at 8PM.
SMG is a channel that broadcasts throughout Shanghai as well as the areas surrounding the city and boasts an impressive number of 180,000,000 viewers.
There will be three couples in total, two of which are Korean-Chinese couples, while the last couple will be made up of two Chinese stars.
Chinese idol group BOBO member Fu Xinbo and T-ara‘s Hyomin wrapped up their filming in Korea last December, while Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun and Chinese actress Lou Yi Xiao completed their filming in Shanghai.
MBC launched the show in order to celebrate 20 years of diplomatic relations between Korea and China.
MBC’s content team remarked, “We thought that this was a good opportunity for us to try something on a different level and try to investigate the dating and marriage cultures of both the Chinese and Korean youth. By starring both Hallyu idols and top Chinese celebrities, the show will be a fun way for both cultures to very naturally better understand one another.”
