Days have passed, but I still feel rejuvenated whenever I recall the experience.

I have come to remember what it was like to enjoy such entertainment programs in my younger days and feel a bond with those lovely 20-somethings.

According to Enlightent, a data platform analyzing videos and TV programs, more than 270 new seasonal variety shows were produced in the country last year, and overall views of those shows reached 27.6 billion.

There has to be something in them for these shows to enjoy such wild popularity.

In my case, if there's anything I have taken away from this trip, it's that I should embrace more novel experiences and reconsider some of my stuck-up preconceptions.

Now that I am back home, I've made a point of finding the previous seasons of the game show and I'm starting to catch up. Maybe soon, I'll even be tempted to join the lunchtime gossip circle.
