Non-Summit (aka Abnormal Summit; Hangul: 비정상회담) is a television program on JTBC in South Korea. The show features a panel of eleven non-Korean men, living in Korea, who debate on various topics and "Korean culture, through the eyes of a foreigner,"[1]in a talk show format, in the Korean language.[2][3][4]It aired on JTBC from July 7, 2014 to September 1, 2014 on Mondays at 23:00.[5]
Background
The show's format, presented with humor, is meant to emulate a meeting of world leaders, like the United Nations or G11, and is hosted by Jun Hyun-moo, Yoo Se-yoon, and Sung Si-kyung with guest appearances by South Korean celebrities, who announce the weekly topics. The stated mission: "The youth group, without borders, Abnormal Summit, is a variety show, that strives for peace and security, for the world's youth, by speaking on agendas, and debating with abnormals, who insist they're representatives."[6]When heated discussions break out, the entire group has to stand, hold hands, and sing Koreana's song Hand in Hand.[1]
On Episode 5, Germany's Daniel Lindemann[5]replaced United Kingdom's James Hooper, who left for Australia to work on a PHD.[7]
