Something Special has picked up the rights to distribute three new Korean entertainment formats: The Scout, Granny Goes Global, and From Unknown to Legend.

First produced by LSC Entertainment for ENA South Korea, The Scout is a singing talent competition. From Unknown to Legend, also a talent competition, hails from MBN South Korea. Produced by JWonder for EBS South Korea, Granny Goes Global is a travel reality show.

JinWoo Hwang, CEO, founder and EP of Something Special, said, “Shows like fresh talent competition From Unknown to Legend and inspiring transformational format The Scout take the competition genre to the next level. We appreciate our partners MBN, J Wonder & LSC Entertainment who trust us to highlight their shows to the format industry.”

InSoon Kim, co-CEO and CBO, added, “As we continue to grow Something Special, we are excited to bring Korean creativity to the world. Granny Goes Global is a fun and heartwarming family reality show that audiences will truly love. The series takes grandparents on the road to meet their family in new countries, bringing laughter and taking love along with them. The show was a hit on EBS in South Korea, and we look forward to sharing the format with broadcast partners everywhere.”
