While it started slow with its first few episodes, it started picking up steam and popularity as Koreans fell in love with the foreign panelists, who spoke fluent Korean (and some claimed that a few spoke Korean even better than them). They ended up on other TV shows and commercials throughout the year; in 2015, the show won the Baeksang Award for Best Variety Show.

* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: How Lebanon is viewed during the Middle East conflicts. Visiting intern Samer Samhoun confirms this.

Abnormal Summit (Korean: 비정상회담) is a South Korean talk-variety show, part of the cable JTBC's Monday night lineup. The show first aired on July 7, 2014.

The show consists of the three Korean hosts and the G11, eleven non-Korean men, who are living in Korea and debate on various cultural and everyday life topics, with comparisons to South Korea and their home country. "Visiting interns" were incorporated into the cast, as regular members took vacations, and some left the show. The debate topics are presented by visiting South Korean guests.
