The fans of SEVENTEEN are in for a treat as Hoshi and Joshua display their variety show skills.

SEVENTEEN members Hoshi and Joshua are part of tvN’s newest Korean variety show, BRO&MARBLE in Dubai. They will join the roster of variety show geniuses and high popularity “bros” such as Kyuhyun of Super Junior, Ji Seok-jin, Jo Se-ho and actors Lee Seung-gi, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Lee Dong-hwi. BRO&MARBLE in Dubai is a variety program where all the Bros are transported to Dubai to play Korea’s iconic, immersive and educational board game Blue Marble which is well-liked by all ages. 

To give non-Koreans an overview of the board gam, Blue Marble, players move around the board in order to buy property, build buildings on the properties, pay rent to other players, and earn a salary. There are also random events cards called Golden Key cards. The game ends when all but one player has gone bankrupt. 

The Blue Marble element in the show takes players on an exciting journey to explore and understand various aspects of Korean culture. In this case, the players will be challenged with questions. While the original board game allows all players to navigate through a beautifully illustrated game board that depicts different regions of Korea including famous landmarks, historical sites, and natural wonders. 

The Bros will be able to experience the game in a real-life setting in Dubai, where they will visit sites that they have never been to before. To make the game even more interesting, the Bros will have to face unexpected challenges in the midst of the game. Whoever will survive a series of challenges and seize both friendship and money in the end will be the ultimate winning Bro.

With a total of 8 episodes, BRO&MARBLE in Dubai will be premiering its episodes 1 and 2 on tvN Asia across all feeds on July, 21, Friday at 10:30 p.m. (GMT +8), barely 8 hours after airing in Korea.
