Popular SBS variety show “Roommate” has been signed for a second season so fans can rest their worries about it being cancelled. However, “Roommate” will be undergoing significant changes before returning.
According to Park Sang Hyuk PD, who commented to news outlet Star News:
Season two will be different from season one. We are currently recruiting new members that match the concept of season two. For the first season, we focused on showing how strangers live together in a shared house. Season two will put more emphasis on the members’ personal lives. We will show how people with complexes or hurtful experiences try to overcome their personal challenges. In particular, you will see how they change and grow through “Roommate”.
We are recruiting members while having the concept of season two in mind. People that need support are likely to become the new members. Also, considering the concept of season two, the average age is likely to increase. Like in season one, you will see celebrities that rarely appear on variety shows.
The name of the show will also be changed from “Roommate” to “It’s Okay, Roommate”.
Ah, such drastic changes but at the same time, we don’t blame the show producers for making that move. This is probably the best thing to do after 2NE1′s Park Bom, Lee So Ra, Song Ga Yeon, and Shin Sung Woo announced their decisions to leave the show. That having said, we can’t wait to see what the surprises the new season will hold!
The first season of “Roommate” will air its final episode on 14th September.
