Premiering on Thursday, August 13 at 6 p.m. KST via TEO's official YouTube channel, "Sasaroun Mannam Chugu" (hereafter "Sasamannan") is a customized office dating reality show designed for single office workers in their 20s and 30s who have found it difficult to date amidst their busy daily lives.

Reflecting the lifestyles of busy professionals, "Sasamannan" introduces a lunchtime meeting concept where participants can efficiently get to know each other in a short period of time. It presents a unique, customized matching experience every episode based on verified information, realistic conditions, and the shared common denominator of being office workers.

In particular, the first episode will feature a 3-on-3 meeting between cast members from Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, followed by a lineup of single men and women with top-tier backgrounds, including doctors and lawyers.

The teaser video released on August 6 drew attention by capturing the bold and unfiltered dating perspectives of the office worker cast members. Along with striking remarks such as "It is possible to have skinship before dating" and "I am going to win you over," a direct financial conversation asking, "Do you spend 900 million won out of the 1 billion won you earn?" was also caught on camera. In response, main MC DINDIN dropped his jaw in disbelief, asking, "Is this the Samsung-style flirting?", while fellow hosts Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon and Mina-sue Choi showed deeply immersed reactions, calling it a "dopamine bomb" and raising anticipation.

The production team of "Sasamannan" stated, "We planned a special format called a customized lunchtime meeting for office workers who still want to find a good connection amidst their busy daily lives," adding, "Through different meeting concepts in each episode, the honest and bold flirting of office workers, and unpredictable chemistry, we will deliver excitement and dopamine unlike existing dating programs."

The 4-episode reality show "Sasaroun Mannam Chugu," depicting the realistic romances of bold office workers, will premiere on Thursday, August 13 at 6 p.m. KST via TEO's YouTube channel.
