LG HelloVision said on Wednesday it will expand offline performances of its original web variety show "Ji Sang-ryeol's Agami" to cities including Busan and Daegu from October.
"Ji Sang-ryeol's Agami" is a participatory talk show hosted by comedian Ji Sang-ryeol (지상렬) and Kim Seung-jin (김승진), built around audience concerns and stories. The company also edits the offline performances and releases them on online platforms such as YouTube.
The show held its first performance in June in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon. It staged performances in Seoul's Insadong in July and August. Related content has logged 7.3 million cumulative views on YouTube and Instagram.
LG HelloVision plans to expand the performance locations starting with Busan and Daegu in October. It aims to increase region-based content by producing content on site in local areas and distributing it online.
In addition to the regular talk show, it is also running a spin-off programme, "Ji Sang-ryeol's Agami-ting," featuring men and women in their 20s and 30s.
Nam Sang-ho (남상호), a producer at LG HelloVision, said it will expand the on-site talk show to cities including Busan and Daegu based on its experience with performances in the Seoul metropolitan area.
