SBS is launching a new rural-themed real variety show for the first time in 16 years since "Family Outing".

Premiering on July 26, SBS's "Jecholli Village Hall" is a 2.5-day (1-night, 2-day) regional revitalization real variety program in which five young adults from the city visit a rural village to share their talents and spend a day together with the local residents. Moving away from consuming the countryside as a one-time experience spot, the show focuses on the process where urban talents and rural warmth meet to enrich one another.

The cast lineup is also star-studded. Announcer Kim Dae-ho, serving as the "resourceful leader," leads the "Jecholli Youth Association" with his strong survival skills and friendliness, while singer Song Gain, the "talented singer vice-president," takes charge of boosting the elderly residents' excitement. In addition, chef Park Eun-young, the "good at cooking older sister," prepares heartfelt meals utilizing local ingredients, while Oh My Girl's Hyojung brings her signature energy as the "ultra-positive older sister," and the youngest member Jonathan adds delightful clumsy charm.

Furthermore, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) member Soobin and CRAVITY member Hyeongjun joined as special supporters, completing a chemistry that bridges different generations.

Having completed the first shoot, Song Gain expressed deep satisfaction, saying, "I would have regretted it if I hadn't come," while supporter Hyeongjun also shared the exceptional teamwork on set, remarking, "I think I would feel sad if another guest came next time."

Delivering heartwarming laughter and human-touch warmth, SBS's "Jecholli Village Hall" will air every Sunday at 11:00 AM starting July 26.
