Crisis Escape No returns to KBS Joy as a regular program after 10 years

After a long ten-year hiatus following its conclusion in April 2016, the legendary safety guide "Crisis Escape No. 1" is returning to television. KBS Joy announced that it has confirmed the regular programming of "Crisis Escape No. 1: Open the Emergency Exit," which garnered intense interest through its pilot broadcast last December, and will premiere on the 28th at 6:50 PM.

To uphold the legacy of the original series, which aired for approximately 11 years starting in 2005 and featured prominent MCs such as Ji Suk-jin, Han Seok-jun, Kim Gook-jin, and Park Eun Young, this regular version has been meticulously prepared. The core of the program is to deliver practical safety knowledge that can be immediately applied in real-life situations, keeping pace with the evolving landscape of modern disasters.

Pilot Success Drives Regular Programming

This regular lineup goes beyond merely tapping into nostalgia. The decisive factor was the outstanding performance of the pilot broadcast shown last December. At the time, the pilot received an enthusiastic response from viewers due to its fresh safety information and structure tailored to the changing times, which naturally led to the decision for regular programming.

The program aims to increase stability by retaining signature segments proven during the pilot, such as "Crisis Escape Replay," "Our Neighborhood Danger Signal," and "Dizzy Mr. Choong-hyun." To make learning safety rules easier and more entertaining, new segments like "Find the Hidden Safety" and "Safety Boxing" have been added to diversify the content.

Reunion of Proven MCs and Enhanced Expert Professionalism

The lineup of hosts is also noteworthy. Comedian Moon Se-yoon, announcer Cho Chung-hyun, lawyer Park Ki-tae, and announcer Jeon Se-yeon, who worked together during the pilot, will reunite. Having already established chemistry, they plan to provide stable hosting and a comfortable rapport to connect with viewers in the regular series.

Measures have also been taken to increase the credibility of the information. Every episode, experts relevant to the topic will visit the studio. These experts will provide vivid explanations along with practical coping methods that can be applied immediately in actual crisis situations. The strategy is to elevate the professional quality of safety knowledge beyond mere entertainment.

Integration of Real-time Online Viewing and Participatory Content

The main broadcast will be delivered to homes every week at 6:50 PM via the KBS Joy channel. For viewers unable to stay in front of the TV, real-time viewing will also be available on the online platform Daum. The program has also opened channels for viewers to actively participate rather than just watch.

Various participatory contents linked to the broadcast are also prepared. Through the Daum platform, viewers can solve safety quizzes related to the show or enjoy various participation events. Through such content, viewers are expected to naturally acquire safety knowledge that is easily missed in daily life, enjoying it like a game.

A New Safety Guide Continuing an 11-Year Legacy

The original "Crisis Escape No. 1" was an iconic program that raised public awareness about safety during its long run from 2005 to 2016. This regular programming is significant in that it reinterprets that 11-year history with a modern sensibility. Rather than simply following the old format, it provides an upgraded safety guide by reflecting the sophisticated risk factors of modern society.

KBS Joy is showing its commitment to fulfilling its role as a program that once again takes responsibility for the lives and safety of the public through this regular series. The curtain rises on this full-scale safety entertainment program starting with the premiere on the 28th.

Reunion of Pilot Members including Moon Se-yoon and Cho Chung-hyun

The hosting will be led by comedian Moon Se-yoon and announcer Cho Chung-hyun, who worked together during the pilot broadcast. They will be joined by lawyer Park Ki-tae and announcer Jeon Se-yeon to lead the program.

Experts on each topic will appear in the studio every episode. These experts will play the role of delivering vivid explanations and practical coping methods.

Premiere on the 28th at 6:50 PM

The regular series "Crisis Escape No. 1: Open the Emergency Exit" will begin its first broadcast on the 28th at 6:50 PM on the KBS Joy channel.
