해피투게더 / Happy together Season 3 (2017)
Season 3 which was known as Happy Together: Let’s Go To School (해피투게더 학교가자), where the 4 MCs dressed as females (except for Shin Bong-sun, who is female), and participated in school-themed games. Season 3 included a corner from Season 1, where the MCs would play against students in a quiz for a scholarship. This began on July 5, 2007. These proved to be unpopular and were all scrapped in 3 weeks. Now, the show is simply known as Happy Together Season 3 which the corners are Challenge! Memorize Song, and That’s You! (그건 너!). These 2 corners proved to be popular, and ratings have gone back to normal. That’s You! has been replaced by What is that! (이건 뭐!), where guests bring an item they cherish, and Don’t Laugh in the Sauna!, joined the 2 remaining corners that take place in a sauna. In early 2009, Challenge! Memorize Song was removed to save time. Only Don’t Laugh in the Sauna! remains, and follows Star Quiz How is that Possible! (스타퀴즈 세상에이럴수가!) which is a quiz about the guests for daily products. On April 25, 2017, the show will undergo a revamp, one significant change is the show will be in the form of a 2-part series because most recordings go overtime.
Slogan: “함께하면 더욱 행복한 목요일 밤, 해피투게더!” (A Thursday night that will be happier if spent together, Happy Together!)
- Challenge! Memorize Song
Challenge! Memorize Song (도전! 암기송) took place inside a sauna, where the MCs and guests would need to correctly sing a song (related to your well-being) to escape the sauna. Those who escape the sauna can enjoy food and drinks while watching the rest of the challengers suffer. The last person in the sauna is the loser and receives a painful massage.
- Don’t Laugh In The Sauna!
In Don’t Laugh In The Sauna! (웃지마! 사우나), the hosts “chat” with the guests in a dialect trying to make them laugh. These conversations usually surround what a typical “Korean mother” (아줌마) will talk about, those who laugh will be sprayed by a water gun. Everyone has a plastic clear bowl they can use to protect themselves from the water. This corner takes place in the locker room of the sauna.
