To truly appreciate the phenomenon, we have to start at the very beginning. "Dad, Where Are We Going?" is a reality television franchise that originated in South Korea. The original South Korean variety show Dad! Where Are We Going? ( 아빠! 어디가? ) premiered on MBC in 2013. The show's concept was elegantly simple: take five male celebrities from the worlds of acting, sports, and music, and send them on a two-day trip to a remote, rural village with their young children. Stripped of their glamorous lifestyles, the celebrity dads had to fend for themselves, cooking meals, building fires, and completing fun "missions" alongside their kids, all while the cameras captured their unfiltered, real-life interactions. The show was an instant smash hit in Korea because of its "rawness" and authenticity.
