# Cool Kids (TV program)

Cool Kids (Korean: 요즘애들; RR: Yojeumaedeul) is a South Korean variety show program on JTBC starring Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Shin-young, Ahn Jung-hwan, Haon and Kwanghee.
The show aired from December 2, 2018. It was broadcast by JTBC on Sundays at 23:20 (KST) and ended on May 12, 2019.

## Synopsis

The show welcomes the kids to personally create their videos and submit to the show starting from November 19, 2018.
From episode 1 to 6, the 6 casts will split into three teams. Afterwards, all the team members will watch the selected 10 applicants' videos that kids personally created to review during the studio recording. Later on, each team will choose one kid team that they want to spend the day with and give them a call. The casts will meet the kids the week after the call.
Starting from episode 7 to 10, the grouping method changes and all the cast move in a group rather than splitting into 3 groups. In addition, the casts only watch 2 or 3 applicants' videos instead of the usual 10. From there, they will only choose 1 kid team instead of 3. They will also meet them right away after calling the chosen kids instead of meeting them the week after the call.
From episode 11 to 15, the casts will only watch 2 applicants' videos and vote. They will meet the chosen kid(s) a week later so that the kid(s) is/are prepared.
From episode 16, the production team will decide ahead of filming day on which kid(s) to visit.
