Amazing Saturday Lands Vietnamese Remake

CJ ENM’s music lyric guessing game show Amazing Saturday has been licensed to ALO Media Joint Stock Company, which will be producing a Vietnamese version.

Amazing Saturday has aired more than 276 episodes in Korea since 2018 on CJ ENM’s affiliate entertainment channel tvN. The remake will broadcast on VTV3, scheduled to start this October.

This marks the first international adaptation of Amazing Saturday.

CJ ENM’s head of format sales, Diane Min, said: “We are truly thrilled to see one of our favorite programs being remade in Vietnam. We can’t wait for the day we can watch this show. Through this partnership, we hope to see more of CJ ENM’s content being appreciated in the local context of Vietnam. As the Vietnamese remake of Amazing Saturday kicks off, we also look forward to seeing more proactive adaptations in other regions. Our hope is that this shared sentiment resonates, allowing the show to reach even further audiences.”

ALO Media’s head of international acquisition, Caroline Pham, said: “We were really impressed with Amazing Saturday in the first approached time. This is a brand-new, interesting format, a combination of music and food, which promises to bring the audience into the vibrant music space. The funny interaction between players, bursting with amazing experiences through the food, helps the audience to recharge energy for a new week. That’s why we decided to produce Amazing Saturday in Vietnam with a special broadcast schedule in prime time every weekend night on VTV3. We believe that the cooperation between CJ ENM and ALO Media, with ALO Media’s production professional team and the enthusiastic support from CJ ENM’s consultants, will bring out a new and attractive version of Amazing Saturday in Vietnam. All will be shown on VTV3 in October.”
