Watch: Leeteuk, Shindong, DAWN, Kim Yo Han, Johnny, And Jisung Battle For Luxury In Travel Variety Show “All Or Nothing” Teaser
Upcoming travel survival variety show “All or Nothing” has shared its first teaser!
“All or Nothing” is a winner-take-all travel variety series set in Egypt in which the cast competes over seven days and six nights across Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada for the title of “prince.” The show features SUPER JUNIOR members Leeteuk and Shindong, DAWN, Kim Yo Han of WEi, and NCT members Johnny and Jisung.
The teaser video highlights Egypt’s pyramids and Sphinx, expansive desert, ancient temples, and the emerald-hued Red Sea, offering a visual introduction to the series’ setting.
In particular, scenes of relaxation by the blue sea, local market alleys, and survival missions set against an endless desert are rapidly intercut, establishing the show’s contrasting formats and winner-take-all concept.
Members who become “princes” enjoy luxurious vacations and benefits across all aspects of life, while losing members become “paupers” and carry out unpredictable missions, continuing a journey of extremes.
The stark contrast between princes and paupers, as well as the intense competitive structure, is tightly compressed, building anticipation for unpredictable developments. The members’ drive to win, as well as their unexpected offstage charm and chemistry, is also expected to be another point of interest.
