Can TV variety shows survive competition with YouTube?

Concerns over the future of TV variety shows are growing as viewers, increasingly drawn to fast-paced digital content, find traditional programming less engaging.

With "dopamine addiction" — the brain's craving for constant stimulation — on the rise, can TV variety shows keep up in an era dominated by web entertainment and YouTube?

During his acceptance speech at the 2024 MBC Entertainment Awards, broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo reflected on the challenges faced by TV variety shows.

“Entertainment is a dopamine paradise. Even I find myself watching short-form videos on my phone instead of turning on the TV. I think I might be addicted to dopamine," he said. "TV has a slower pace and less immediate dopamine hits, but it leaves a lasting impression and brings smiles. I will strive to deliver healthy laughter.”

With repetitive formats and less intensity compared to web entertainment, many viewers are turning to YouTube for amusement. Shows like "Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong-yup," "Salon Drip" (hosted by comedian Jang Do-yeon) and "Pinggyego" have gained immense popularity, often surpassing TV variety shows in buzz and engagement.

Many web variety shows and YouTube content thrive on provocative elements, featuring alcohol consumption and explicit language. Seeing their success, some TV shows have attempted to incorporate similar edgy content.
