Scenes from variety show "Family Outing" [SBS]
Producers of SBS variety show "Family Outing" have announced that they will close the show, with shooting of the final episode set to take place on January 11.
The producers explained on Tuesday that they "chose to bid farewell" and that former regulars on the show -- such as Lee Cheon-hee, Park Ye-jin and Park Si-yeon -- will be joining the final shoot.
"The producers and Family [cast] members will do their best to the end, as we have always done", the show's creators were quoted as saying. "We thank our viewers for their overwhelming love and we ask for your continued support for the Family members".
They also asked that viewers look forward to a new season of the show.
"Family Outing", hosted by Yoo Jae-seok, was one of the most popular variety shows in Korea since its premiere in June 2008. With many Korean celebrities -- including singer Lee Hyo-lee and Big Bang member Daesung -- regularly appearing on the show, "Family" had recorded viewership ratings of over 30 percent.
However, the "reality-based" variety show sparked controversy last year when one of the scripts was leaked on the Internet. Fans were outraged when they found that the show was not "real" as many of the remarks and responses by the cast members had been pre-scripted. The ratings for the show had been declining ever since.
