A Pursuit Survival Game in Which 13 Players Search for the Tagger
‘Tag Game’ is a survival variety show that combines pursuit and psychological warfare, inspired by the traditional game of tag. It was introduced as a game centered on 13 players forming alliances to survive while searching for the tagger, whose identity is hidden.
The cast includes former baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun; creators Pani Bottle, Malwang, and Kim Ttol-ttol; actors Kyung Soo-jin and Yoon Sang-hyun; former national wrestling team athlete Jang Eun-sil; beach volleyball national team athlete Shin Ji-eun; artist and broadcaster Yuk Jun-seo; announcer Park Ji-min; singers Yang Da-il and Ji Ji-won; and Lee Jun-su.
Producer Hyun Jung-wan explained that, unlike existing survival shows, this game centers on pursuit and that the tagger also has separate missions. Familiar tag becomes a structure in which suspicion and deception are mixed in, rather than remaining a simple contest of physical strength.
Lee Jun-su’s Preparation: “Let’s Run with Everything We Have”
At the press conference, Lee Jun-su said that he exercised to prepare for the show but found it difficult, and that he took part with the mindset of “Let’s run with everything we have.” He also said that he tried to understand the rules by watching ‘Bloody Game,’ but that it was not easy.
These remarks show that Lee Jun-su regarded the program as an opportunity to take on an unfamiliar survival format rather than simply as a chance to appear on television. However, the difficulties he felt during preparation and his determination to participate are his own explanations and do not indicate his actual performance on the program.
‘Tag Game’ was introduced as a format requiring both physical strength and psychological warfare. How Lee Jun-su chooses between running and understanding the game will be something to check after the first release.
The Significance of His First Solo Variety Show
Lee Jun-su said that he had not received any separate advice from his father, Lee Jong-hyuk, and that because it was his first variety show appearance without his father, he wanted to deliver a noticeable performance. It became clear at the event that Lee Jun-su, known as Lee Jong-hyuk’s son, was participating in a survival variety show as an independent cast member rather than in a format involving his family.
His description that he “worked as hard as if his life depended on it” carries the same meaning. The point to watch in this appearance is not his background as the family member of a celebrity, but how Lee Jun-su adapts to the pursuit and psychological warfare among cast members from various fields.
‘Tag Game’ is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on 9월 30일.
