Netflix has created a reality show that highlights the transition that Gen Zers go through as they become adults. The South Korean show, entitled 19/20, is a dating reality show who are about to become adults.
The show (read as Nineteen to Twenty) was just released on Netflix and if you're curious to know more about 19/20: what is the K-reality show about, this article will help you out.
What Is 19/20 Reality Show About?
The official synopsis of 19/20 reads:
"A group of young adults share their last week of teens and first week of twenties together--experiencing freedom and all the "firsts" of adulthood."
The premise behind the show is that while it is a dating show, it also highlights the transition that these teens go through in this important season of their lives.
This is because in Korea, teens actually become a legal adult once they turn 19. But because the country has an age system, they only consider 20-year-olds as adults.
Since this age law is changing in the country, the Netflix series comes at the right time.
According to show creator, Kim Jae Won:
“Now that the law regarding age has changed, I think it is more meaningful that we have made a reality series surrounding the changing status from teenagers to adults in ’19/20. Aging one more year at New Year’s was an experience unique to Korea. That has changed now, but it’s made our show all the more significant.”
19/20 Episode Guide
There are two parts in the show: the first is set in a special school called 19 School. In this school, the participants in the show will learn the basics of becoming an adult.
But there is one golden rule they have to follow: they cannot date each other until they have turned 20.
The second part of the show is the 20 House. After they turn twenty, the contestants will be moved into the 20 House where they can apply the things they learned in school.
There are a total of 13 episodes, with three episodes getting released per week.
