Jisung from NCT Dream will appear in a new travel survival variety show titled 'The Prince and the Pauper,' which premieres on July 27 on ENA. He joins Super Junior members Lee Teuk and Shindong, NCT 127's Johnny, WayV's Ten, and Kim Yo-han in a six-day, seven-night competition set in Egypt. Directed by PD Lee Tae-kyung, the show takes place across Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada, with contestants competing for the 'prince' position through various missions. Winners enjoy luxurious benefits while losers face harsh travel conditions. The production team praised Jisung, noting that despite initially appearing shy and reserved, he proved to be an energetic member who engaged sincerely, describing him as carrying 'the weight of an unexpected twist' as an important axis throughout the eight-episode story. The show features a powerhouse lineup spanning generations, with the 21-year veteran group Super Junior and globally popular NCT members, creating strong viewing appeal under director Lee Tae-kyung's proven track record in idol content.
