TikTok’s new original variety show, ‘Tiki Tiki Taka Taka Talk Talk Show’ (hereafter ‘Tiki Taka Show’), has announced the start of a hilarious talk battle centered around football. The program will make its grand debut on Monday, the 25th, at 8 PM.
‘Tiki Taka Show’ is a variety content where the cast engages in battle-style talks on various topics, with football at the center. South Korean football legend Ahn Jung-hwan, along with DinDin and Lee Eun-ji, will lead the show as MCs.
The recently released teaser sparked curiosity, starting with a scene where shaman Sowon-assi, from ‘Fate War 49’, reads fortunes related to football. Sowon-assi mentioned, “The chemistry is just not there” and “I hear noisy sounds,” leaving caster Bae Seong-jae and commentator Park Moon-sung looking bewildered. Interest peaked when she made a cryptic remark to Bae Seong-jae regarding the 2026 North and Central America World Cup broadcast, telling him, “You’re second place.”
A clash of pride between stars representing football and baseball will also unfold. Football players Kim Nam-il, Lee Keun-ho, Koo Ja-cheol, and Kim Young-kwang will go head-to-head in a battle of wits against baseball players Lee Dae-ho, Yoon Suk-min, Lee Dae-hyung, and Yoo Hee-kwan.
In the preview, when Yoo Hee-kwan mentioned, “Baseball players also lose weight when they play games,” Ahn Jung-hwan shot back, “I’m sorry, but isn’t it your hair that’s falling out?” sending the set into fits of laughter. Koo Ja-cheol also relentlessly pushed the baseball team, while Lee Dae-ho responded by saying, “I feel like Nam-il hyung would just collapse if I poked him,” continuing the tense yet funny atmosphere.
A realistic talk battle between football players and their wives is another highlight. When Kim Nam-il said, “I wanted to step down from the top spot,” Kim Bo-min delivered a direct hit, saying, “You weren’t the best back then either,” causing a roar of laughter. The anticipation for the couple’s chemistry grew as Kim Nam-il responded, “Are you trying to pick a fight with me?”
The released poster features MCs Ahn Jung-hwan, DinDin, and Lee Eun-ji. The trio is expected to elevate the show’s energy with their witty banter and chemistry, touching on topics that football fans can relate to.
‘Tiki Taka Show’, TikTok’s first original variety content in Korea, can be watched via the official TikTok Korea account and Ahn Jung-hwan’s TikTok account ‘Ahn Jung-hwan 19’. The first episode drops on Monday, the 25th, at 8 PM, with new episodes releasing every Monday and Thursday at 8 PM.
