“Bujingeo Game” is an innovative English variety show that breaks away from traditional English learning formats. It is a parody of the globally popular drama “Squid Game” and features real Busan city officials competing in various English-language games in a realistic survival setting.

The cast includes Boogi, Busan City’s communication character, Shin Min-soo, host at Busan e-FM, and eight city officials who bring their own unique charm to the show.

Each game is based on real-life situations and involves English tasks such as quizzes and spelling challenges. The content is designed to help viewers naturally engage with listening, speaking, and writing in English.

One key feature of the program is its lighthearted and humorous approach, which helps reduce the burden often associated with studying English. Through laughter and entertainment, viewers can feel more comfortable with and connected to the language.

In conjunction with the release of “Bujingeo Game,” a viewer participation event will also be held on Busan e-FM’s official YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@befm). Participants who subscribe and comment will have a chance to win various prizes through a random draw.

Jeon Yong-woo, President of the Busan Global City Foundation, stated,

“Bujingeo Game is not merely a parody, but an experimental attempt to combine English learning with entertainment. We have put great effort into creating a show that viewers can enjoy while naturally learning English.”

Kim Gwi-ok, Director General of the Youth and Industry-Academia Cooperation Bureau at Busan Metropolitan City, added,

“We hope that Bujingeo Game allows citizens to enjoy learning English more. We will continue to develop fun and useful content to make Busan a truly English-friendly city.”
