Korean celebs kiss fame goodbye

CEBU, Philippines — After years of fame and success, several well-known Korean celebrities trade in their stardom for 72-hours of normality in “My Name Is Gabriel” – a fun new Korean reality show coming June 21 exclusively on Disney+.

With starring roles, cover shoots, and regular headlines keeping them front and center in the public’s mind, Korean celebrities often struggle to live normal lives. In “My Name Is Gabriel”, several of Korea’s most well-known entertainers are transported to another part of the world to live someone else’s life for 72 hours.

Separated from their friends, family and publicists, for a life assigned by an AI algorithm, the celebrities will be sent as far afield as Chiang Mai, Chongqing, Guadalajara and Dublin and challenged to fit in to their new homes, live with a new family, and work someone else’s job.

Starring actor Park Bogum (Reply 1988), actor Ji Changwook (The Worst of Evil), comedian Park Myungsoo (Infinite Challenge), actress Yeom Hyeran (The Glory), and TV host Gabee, “My Name Is Gabriel” is produced by legendary South Korean producer Kim Taeho (Infinite Challenge).

Fans of Korean variety shows can enjoy immediate access to other unmissable series on Disney+ including season one and two of “The Zone Survival Mission” starring Yu Jaeseok, Lee Kwangsoo, and Kwon Yuri, as well as other award-winning series including “Moving”, about South Korean special agents working to protect their super-powered children from harm and exploitation, “The Worst Of Evil”, “Big Bet”, and countless other thrilling Korean and international titles.
