Magic Eye (Korean: 매직아이) was a South Korean talk show which began on July 8, 2014, on Tuesday nights at 11:15 pm KST on SBS. The program was first shown as a pilot on May 13, 2014, and was picked up following a positive response.[1] It was hosted by the singer Lee Hyo-ri, the actress Moon So-ri, the model Hong Jin-kyung and the comedian Kim Gu-ra.[2] The program focused on news stories that might have been missed by viewers, aiming to find the hidden 1mm of the world.[1] Magic Eye was the first program on Korean terrestrial television to incorporate podcasts into the program. Viewers could listen to unshown footage and behind-the-scenes commentary online after the show had been broadcast.[3]
The program was cancelled because of low ratings, with its final episode on November 18, 2014.[4]
Format
[edit | edit source]Magic Eye was divided into two segments:[2]
- Line Choosing News (선을 정하는 뉴스) [episodes 1-6], which was hosted by Lee Hyo-ri, Moon So-ri and Hong Jin-kyung, featured stories of everyday life issues from viewers and aimed to draw the line for them.
- Finding the Hidden Stories (숨은 얘기 찾기) [episodes 1-4], which was hosted by Kim Gu-ra and announcer Bae Sung-jae, featured the two hosts directly finding people behind hidden stories and having interviews on the spot.
The show was unified into one program with Kim Gu-ra joining the other three female hosts in a similar format to Line Choosing News, beginning on August 19, 2014.[5]
