Strong Heart (Korean: 강심장; Hanja: 强心臟) is a South Korean talk show or talk battle broadcast by Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS). It airs on Tuesdays from 11:50 to Wednesdays 00:30. It is hosted by Lee Dong Wook and Shin Dong Yeop with Boom, Super Junior's Leeteuk and Eunhyuk as hosts of a special segment and regular guests along with Kim Hyo Jin, Jung Juri and Yang Se Hyung. Who are known as six-fixed guests.
History
The show premiered in 2009 with Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi as MCs. In September 2011, Kang withdrew from the show following his retirement from the entertainment industry due a demand for back taxes by the National Tax Service.[1][2] In March 2012, Lee announced his departure from the show, in order to focus on his singing career. He recorded his last episode on 15 March, which was broadcast on 3 April.[3] Actor Lee Dong Wook and Shin Dong Yeop took over as MCs, with their first episode broadcast on 10 April 2012.[4][5]
On 28 March 2012, SM Entertainment announced that Shindong will no longer be regular guest of the show.[6] Along with Shindong, comedian Kim Young Chul, who was regular guest, also left the show as of the 10 April broadcast. To be replaced by Kim Hyo Jin and Yang Se Hyung.[7]
Format
About twenty guest stars tell strong stories that make people cry or laugh. The best storyteller wins the show. Strong Heart gives viewers and fans a chance to look into the lives of stars by listening to their stories. Many stars come on the show and share stories about their hardships in debuting, strange experiences and some other funny situations that have occurred in their life. Celebrities have also used their time on the show to try to clear up rumors. From time to time there are also less famous stars invited so that they can have a chance to share their story. This is important as most of the time when these stories are told on Strong Heart, it is the first time they have ever been told.
In 2011, the producer cast the ten active members of Super Junior, the first time an entire group was featured on the show. The two part programme were broadcast on 16 and 30 August. Part one achieved a rating of 13.3%, an increase of 0.7% from the previous episode and the highest in the month.[8]
Boom Academy vs. Brian Academy
In each episode, there is a special segment dedicated to the fun antics of Boom Academy. Boom Academy's director is entertainer Boom and the students are Super Junior members. The most notable role of Boom Academy in the show is how the member’s unforgettable pictures of the past were displayed.
In October 2009, when Boom enlisted for mandatory military service,[9] Leeteuk took over and the segment's name was temporarily changed to Teukigayo, or Teuk Academy. This academy is described to be an artistic ability academy. Teuk academy is the second generation, and it consists of Super Junior members Leeteuk, Shindong, and Eunhyuk. Boom returned to the segment after he was discharged in August 2011. Eunhyuk also left the show temporarily when he went on promotional activities for Super Junior-M's third EP Perfection, in Taiwan and China, from March to June 2011.[10]
Brian Academy's director is Brian Joo. Brian Academy is the rival of Boom Academy. Brian claim's his academy isn't cheap like Boom Academy. His students strive to be funny but still sexy. The most notable student of Brian Academy is Jo Kwon of 2AM. His Academy often has 'one-time students' such as Lee Sungmin of Super Junior.
