'Shalashala' will open JTBC's entertainment show in 2025.

JTBC 'Before It's Too Late -'Shalashala' (hereinafter 'Shalashala') is a new entertainment program that features the challenge of five actors who have gone to the UK to study the language.

Representative Korean actors Sung Dong-il, Kim Kwang-gyu, Um Ki-jun, Jang Hyuk, and Shin Seung-hwan will join in 'Shalashala' and leave for England, the home of English. For the first time in their lives, those who have been on language training without anyone's help show an extreme journey that is not easy, from preliminary preparation, finding roommates, language training life, and 'just us' free travel. In addition, the members, who are in their second school days through their language school life, will enjoy a pleasant campus life to their heart's content for the first time in decades.

The teaser, which was released on the 8th ahead of the first broadcast, showed the members who went on language training in the UK. With the production reminiscent of the New Jeans 'Ditto' music video catching the eye, Um Ki-joon, Jang Hyuk, Kim Kwang-kyu and Shin Seung-hwan, starting with Sung Dong-il, will transform into late students wearing baseball jackets. Expectations are high for their chemistry, which was not easily seen in entertainment programs, and for the realistic adaptation of British life by the members of 'average age of 51.8 years".

Meanwhile, the crew of `Shalashala' realistically captured the journey of members who have long been recognized as actors for their solid acting skills to enter the English language study before it's too late"The members' struggles to realize their dream of 'Free Talking' in unfamiliar Britain will provide a glimpse of their human charm and extraordinary chemistry that has not been revealed in broadcasting."

JTBC 'Shalashala', an actor's turbulent free-talk challenge that will provide motivation for the New Year, will premiere at 10:20 p.m. on February 5.
