[Asia Economy Reporters Hyunju Lee and Juni Park] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol will appear on the SBS variety show 'Master in the House' on the 19th. This marks his first appearance on a variety show since beginning his public activities.

A representative from Yoon's side stated, "Recently, Yoon completed filming for 'Master in the House'." The episode featuring Yoon is scheduled to air on the 19th, the first day of the Chuseok holiday, which is ideal for attracting family-oriented viewers.

Appearing on variety shows is one of the essential steps for presidential candidates. Ahead of the 2012 presidential election, Park Geun-hye, then the Emergency Committee Chairperson of the Saenuri Party, and Moon Jae-in, Chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, both appeared on the 2011 SBS talk show 'Healing Camp, Aren't You Happy?'. Ahn Cheol-soo, then Dean of the Seoul National University Convergence Science and Technology College, also appeared on this program, sparking speculation that his presidential bid was imminent, which he later officially announced.

Recently, ahead of the Seoul mayoral by-election, former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won and former Minister of SMEs and Startups Park Young-sun appeared on TV Chosun's variety show 'Taste of Wife', drawing public attention.

Variety shows serve as an excellent medium to naturally convey unknown facts about politicians to the public, helping to create a friendly image. For example, Hong Joon-pyo, a preliminary candidate in the People Power Party primary, appeared on tvN's 'Gwak's LP Bar' last June, where he shared his life story and explained his reasons for entering politics.
