First Look: “Vacation by Part-Time Job” Sends Jung Jun Won, Kang You Seok, Lee Soo Ji, And Kim Ah Young To Zanzibar For Grit And Dolphins
MBC’s new work-and-travel variety drops its first teasers—equal parts sweat, sun, and surreal swims with dolphins.
MBC is gearing up to launch “Vacation by Part-Time Job” (literal title), a fresh variety format that trades poolside lounging for real labor under the Zanzibar sun. The cast—Jung Jun Won, Kang You Seok, Lee Soo Ji, and Kim Ah Young—heads to Tanzania for a series of part-time gigs that come with a postcard-perfect backdrop.
The first teaser leans into the grit: the members lug oversized sacks, battle the heat, and collapse in exhaustion, wondering if they’ll make it through the day. It’s a cheeky reality check on the “vacation” premise, teasing what kind of tough assignments await in paradise.
The second teaser flips the mood entirely. Against crystal-blue waters, the cast glides alongside dolphins, laughing and soaking in the moment—an instant contrast to their earlier trials and a promise that the show will balance hard-won effort with unforgettable rewards.
“Vacation by Part-Time Job” premieres November 19 at 9 p.m. KST.
