On July 8, E Channel announced that a new occult reality show, "Ghost-Hunting Marines," featuring celebrities who served in the Marine Corps, will be released on YouTube at the end of this month.


The program stars comedian Beom Kwak, actor Jaehee Song, and rapper Donghyun Kim. All three are former Marines, and they will accompany a shaman to actual haunted locations to experience urban legends firsthand. The show’s title is derived from the nickname given to the Marine Corps in recognition of their heroic actions during the June 25 Korean War in 1950.


Each cast member will showcase a distinct personality on the show. Beom Kwak plays the "swaggering Marine," who acts tough but gets startled by even small noises. Jaehee Song takes on the role of the "clumsy Marine," empathizing with the stories of ghosts. Donghyun Kim, who was recently discharged and is the youngest member, appears as the timid "Millennials & Gen Z Marine."


In each episode, the show visits a new location, where the shaman helps unravel tales of restless spirits and urban legends connected to the site.



The production team stated, "We have differentiated this show from traditional summer horror specials by combining the unique discipline of the Marine Corps with shamanistic beliefs," adding, "Viewers can expect unexpected humor as military ranks and seniority collapse in the face of ghosts."
