Star King

Star King is a SBS's talent variety program.

[EPISODE 1 - 142]
On this show they have different challengers (about 6 different performances) each week that compete for the title "STAR KING". During each show they will invite guests as judges, and there are also some regular judges on the show. The judges decide who will stay to compete with last week's challenger, and only two different performers can stay. The audience then chooses who they like best between the two challengers and the one with more votes gets to stay to challenge the winner from last week. The winner of the week will get to choose between the cash prize for the first win, which is ₩2 million or coming back the following week to challenge again and possibly win ₩3 million. If they lose the second challenge they will only get half of their prize, which is ₩1 million.
