Something Special, the Seoul-based international Format agency founded by Format specialists Jin Woo Hwang (President & Executive Producer) and InSoon Kim (EVP & Head of Content) announced two Format deals at MIPCOM. Two formats were licensed in India to Sunita Uchil’s company, Karman Unlimited: reality series Unforgettable Duet and unscripted comedy series Hit & Miss Tour.
Unforgettable Duet is an original unscripted series that follows a dementia patient whose families gather mementos and a favorite song to help them recall the past. Together, they ride on a Memory Bus filled with these deeply personal mementos that reveal long forgotten life moments for each of the participants. The show then steps into the studio with an emotional Duet performance by the patient and family member, followed with a heartfelt tribute song to the participant from popular singing artists. This emotional musical series is a magical, healing experience helping the patient and their family to remember what is truly important.
Hit & Miss Tour hilarious show that follows 5 famous comedians, all have been friends for 20 years, and travel together. Each day they play 6-8 mini-challenges – making the loser pay up; over 210 mini-games already done; format sponsored by multiple tourism boards (including Turkey and Greece), brand-friendly show; #1 rated show on Channel S (SK Telecom subsidiary) and produced by Media S.
Hwang stated: “Something Special is thrilled to announce these deals with such a wonderful company as Karman Unlimited in India. We are continuing our mission to bring Korean formats to the world. KOCCA has been a great partner to facilitate our presence at MIPCOM, and we look forward to soon announcing more deals we made at the market.”
Uchil added: “Karman Unlimited is excited to announce our very first deal with South Korea and to work with Jin and his team to bring two very different formats to India. The incredibly heart-felt Unforgettable Duet will resonate with families all over the country and Hit & Miss Tour is sure to bring much needed laughter to our audiences.”
