Star Golden Bell (Korean: 스타골든벨) was a South Korean variety show broadcast on KBS. A popular show, it occasionally entered the Korean top 20 chart. The show consisted of mini-games, which have certain prize amounts. The winning celebrity is given the opportunity to ring the bell by correctly answering a riddle. If he or she is correct, the money is donated in the winner's name. All "winnings" go to a charity of KBS's choice; the last donation, in the amount of $110,000, was made on July 1, 2008. In addition to the main MC, Jun Hyun-moo (전현무), there were two additional hosts, Kim Je-dong (김제동) and Lee Chae-young (이채영), who were either in charge of administering games or were challengers competing against the celebrity contestants. Star featured 5 lines of 4 people each (the lines named after each Korean character) which had various celebrities from music, film, television, and musicals. The last line ("Bell") contains regularly appearing celebrities.[1]
In April 2009, it was announced that the show would be undergoing a spring overhaul, with main host Jee Seok-jin (지석진) and MC Oh Jeong-yeon leaving the show. Their replacements are host Jun Hyun-moo and actress Lee Chae-young.[2]
