CJ ENM arrives at MIP London with a slate of reality formats that mix competition, strategy, and social dynamics. The South Korean distributor, known for its successful entertainment franchises, presents a lineup that taps into the global demand for unscripted content with high-stakes gameplay and relationship-driven narratives.
Among its key offerings is The Genius Game, a survival reality show that puts intelligence and strategy at the forefront. Thirteen contestants—described as some of the nation’s sharpest minds—compete in challenges that test their ability to navigate complex games and social manipulation. The format blends psychological tactics, alliances, and deception, making it a contest of both intellect and influence.
Expanding on the theme of social interaction, Couple Palace takes matchmaking to an ambitious scale, gathering 100 singles in a setting designed to accelerate the search for a spouse. The show follows participants as they navigate the process of finding a partner within a structured environment, adding a competitive edge to the traditional dating format.
CJ ENM also showcases I Can See Your Voice, a mystery music game show where contestants must determine whether a singer is talented or tone-deaf—without ever hearing them sing. The format, which has already been adapted in multiple territories, plays on the tension between perception and reality, making it a unique take on talent competitions.
Rounding out the lineup is Wedding Fighter, a survival-style show featuring engaged couples who compete for a wedding budget of nearly $290,000. At a time when marriage rates are in decline, the series introduces a financial incentive to the equation, challenging couples to endure a 10-day, high-pressure competition to prove their commitment.
CJ ENM’s presence at MIP London reflects the continued international appeal of South Korean formats, which balance strategic gameplay with emotional engagement. As demand for unscripted content evolves, the company positions itself with a range of formats that explore competition, relationships, and the unpredictable nature of human interaction.
