Na PD’s next travel variety spin-off Youth Over Flowers sets sail
by girlfriday
I was wondering how many things you could put over flowers before running out, but something tells me Na PD will never run out of combinations of people to send overseas on a tiny budget for their pain and our enjoyment. Variety PD Na Young-seok’s next installment of his hit tvN franchise Grandpas Over Flowers and Noonas Over Flowers is called Youth Over Flowers. Why it isn’t called Oppas Over Flowers beats me. I mean, you had noonas, so why not oppas next?
It stars a trio of singer-songwriters (and longtime variety personalities) — Yoon Sang (Birth of a Star, age 46), Yoo Hee-yeol (SNL Korea, age 43), and Lee Juck (High Kick 3, age 40). There’s no luggage boy this time, which pretty much means maknae Lee Juck will be whining a lot.
They’re as odd a trio to cast as any three random guys in their forties, but then I thought Seo-jinnie was random until I watched the show and saw how weirdly perfect he was. And these guys are all friends who’ve known each other for years, so perhaps it’s more about the camaraderie a la Grandpas than anything. They’re also smart and well-spoken, and Lee Juck and Yoo Hee-yeol are especially quick-witted veterans of variety. I foresee lots of arguing with Na PD, who is just the fourth member of this cast as far as I’m concerned.
They flew to Peru on June 25, and the hilarious part is that none of them knew they were leaving the country until that day. They were conned into handing over their passports to their agencies early in pre-production to “prepare for future travel,” and then Na PD basically kidnapped them and put them on a plane to South America. Pwahahahaha.
Youth Over Flowers will begin its 15-day journey in Peru, and the show premieres in August.

Thank you for this news!
While I would've loved for this show to be called Oppas Over Flowers, the premise sounds pretty awesome already. :D And as far as I'm concerned, Na PD can really do no wrong, especially when he's showing up on camera and being his own hilarious self.

Seeing a group of men over 40 referred to as "youth" makes me feel a little better about my age (old enough that don't want to see the number in print!).

I just went to the Block B showcase here in the US and realized I hung onto the hand of a guy (Jaehyo) who is 17 years younger than me.
No wonder they all looked shocked.

I hope Na PD read the fine print on Yoo Hee Yeol. It says "probable death upon hitting water". With Na PD's track record of bokbulbok....i fear for YHY. Lol

,nah.. he came out of his 1n2d stint alive so NA PD might be banking on that.. He's already escaped the fine print once, why not do it twice? hehe
Looking forward to August!
Love the cast by the way. I foresee YHL whining more than Lee Juk will..

Oh my! I am from Peru and I am so happy that they went to my country. I think Korea and Peru have a lot of similarities. I am a bit sad that NA pd didn't send the Noonas crew there, but it is what it is. I am really waiting for this new trip. All the best NA Pd!

Oh wow at this point I'm starting to think PD Na is actually conning the broadcast station than the celebs just to get all expense paid trips around the world hahaha jk but i'll probably watch this iteration as well.
I was confused by the Youth over flowers title too but i guess instead of the original saying maybe PD Na is poking fun at how they aren't young anymore and are grasping to maintain their youth? haha either way Im sure PD Na will have no bounds in torturing this crew since they are closer to his age.

I thought the exact same !
A group of teens or pre-teens with a baby sitter like seo jinnie !!!!!
If there is a group that is gonna be tough to manage than grandpas would be kids ! :D :D
I got weirdly excited for this for a minute and want it to happen now :P

I'm only familiar with Yoo Hee Yeol from that 1N2D guesting and singing with Jaesuk in the Infinity concert: "Please don't go my girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!"
But I know Na PD is an evil genius who can make rock-watching exciting, so I'll keep an eye out for this. :D

I let out a little shriek of excitement when I read this post. I love this trio and I'm already expect the banter/bickering between them and Na PD (and between themselves) to be hilarious. This is gonna be gooood and way more cruel + schemey since Na PD doesn't have to tiptoe around respecting elders in order to carry out his eeeevil plans.

But why Na PD choose Peru. Why not Brazil since there is World Cup and they can focus on that. Backpacking while watching the game and what not.

I love where this is going already. I like the "youth" title as it pays its deference to the one and only "Grandpa" series and adds instantaneous humor once the cast is known ;-) I will definitely check this out.

Last minute kidnapping to Peru~ this show is getting off to a great start! Na PD should be able to be a lot more sadistic with this group.
I'd like the next iteration of this series to be "Flower Boys Over Flowers".

Surprisingly (or not), I'm not really familiar with these guys. I've seen Lee Juck in High Kick 3, but that's about it. Makes me more interested to see what happens in this show. Can't wait! Na PD is a genius!
