Unforgettable Duet: Music Reality Show Returns on MBN

The heartwarming music reality show “Unforgettable Duet” is set to make its official return as a regular series on MBN, premiering on November 5, 2025, at 10:20 PM KST. Following a highly successful pilot, the show continues its mission to explore the power of music in connecting with individuals living with dementia. An online press conference was held earlier today, November 5, 2025, where the cast and crew shared their vision for this unique program centered on family, memory, and song.

A Journey of Memory and the Power of a Family Duet

At its core, “Unforgettable Duet” is a reality program that brings comfort and hope to families affected by dementia. The show’s format follows the emotional journey of finding songs locked away in a patient’s memory and preparing for a final, touching duet performance with a loved one. The program aims to reframe dementia not just as a frightening disease, but as a condition that can be navigated with love and support, demonstrating how music can serve as a powerful bridge to the past. This moving concept was first introduced to audiences during a Chuseok pilot special in September 2024, which featured powerful stories from musical actress Hong JiMin and singer Kang AeRiJa with their mothers.

Award-Winning Concept and Refreshed Cast

The show’s impactful format has already received international recognition. In 2022, its concept won second place at the “2022 International Format Pitching Competition” during the Broadcast Worldwide (BCWW) market. More recently, the program secured a Silver Prize in the reality show category at the “Content Asia Awards 2025,” cementing its status as a piece of must-watch Korean entertainment. Producer Kim Jin expressed his commitment to creating a show that provides both emotional resonance and a message of hope.

Meet the New and Returning Panel

Leading the show once again is MC Jang YoonJung, who returns after hosting the successful pilot. She is joined by a vibrant panel of entertainers who will share their reactions and insights. The panel includes comedian Jo HyeRyun and singer Son TaeJin, who transitions from being a “Memory Singer” in the pilot to a regular panelist. A fresh face on the panel is HyoJung, the leader of the popular K-Pop group Oh My Girl. Her youthful perspective is expected to add a new dynamic to the show and its approach to dementia awareness. The varied experiences of the cast, from trot singers to K-Pop idols, highlight the universal language of music.

Hopes for Future Seasons and Dementia Awareness

During the press conference, the cast shared their excitement and hopes for the show’s future. Jo HyeRyun enthusiastically recommended trot superstar Lim YoungWoong as a future “Memory Singer,” believing his presence would bring immense comfort to many participants. HyoJung also expressed a desire for her group, Oh My Girl, to one day perform on the show, further expanding its reach to a younger audience. “Unforgettable Duet” stands out as more than just a music reality show; it is a meaningful project dedicated to raising dementia awareness and celebrating the enduring power of family bonds through each family duet.
