TikTok is unveiling a soccer-themed talk variety show called “Tiki Tiki Taka Taka Talk Talk Show.”
Premiering on the 25th, “Tiki Tiki Taka Taka Talk Talk Show” (hereafter “Tiki Taka Show”) will bring together soccer legend Ahn Jung-hwan and variety stars DinDin and Lee Eun-ji for an epic talk battle centered around soccer.
“Tiki Taka Show” is designed for everyone to enjoy, from die-hard soccer fans to those who aren’t familiar with the sport. Each episode will dive into various topics, including match prediction battles, meetings between “soccer pros” and “soccer newbies,” debates over the best soccer match foods, and passionate talks from stars who truly love the game.
Guests appearing according to each episode’s concept will share their soccer knowledge, tastes, and fandom through lively conversations.
Former national team player Ahn Jung-hwan joins as an MC to bring both professional expertise and a sense of humor. As a soccer expert, he will deliver knowledge in an easy and interesting way while keeping the show on track with his witty hosting. DinDin and Lee Eun-ji also join the MC lineup to add more energy. DinDin will boost the fun with his signature humor and honest talk, while Lee Eun-ji will lead the atmosphere with her unique character and high energy.
Through this program, TikTok plans to expand soccer into participatory sports entertainment where fans’ interpretations, tastes, and cheering cultures blend together. Starting with this first long-form original content in Korea, the platform intends to continue trying new content that combines sports and entertainment.
Yoon Chul, Head of News & Sports at TikTok Korea, stated, “‘Tiki Taka Show’ is an entertainment program where talk battles take place on various soccer-related topics, from issues frequently discussed among sports fans to a wide range of soccer themes.” He added, “Starting with this original content, TikTok will continue to find new ways to showcase the storytelling and fandom energy that sports possess.”
“Tiki Taka Show” will stream every Monday and Thursday at 8 PM on the TikTok Korea account starting on the 25th, consisting of 12 episodes in total.
