BIGBANG’s Daesung, BTOB’s Eunkwang, B1A4’s CNU, and Jo Yoon Woo will be taking their close bond to a variety show!

On February 1, Channel A announced, “BIGBANG’s Daesung, BTOB’s Eunkwang, B1A4’s CNU, and actor Jo Yoon Woo are appearing as guests on ‘Cohabitation, Not Marriage.'” They added, “The broadcast date has yet to be decided but they will appear alongside a couple. Please look forward to seeing what couple they are paired with.”

These four stars became close friends while serving in the military together. This appearance is especially notable for Daesung as it marks his first promotions in the entertainment industry in four years. Additionally, “Cohabitation, Not Marriage” will be his first variety show in six years and his first activity since parting ways with his longtime agency YG Entertainment this past December.

“Cohabitation, Not Marriage” is a variety show that follows real-life couples moving in together before or instead of getting married. The program airs on Mondays at 9:10 p.m. KST on Channel A.
