This week, Netflix released one of its unscripted reality shows called 19/20 (read as Nineteen to Twenty). The Korean reality show follows a group of Gen Z's as they transition to adulthood.
This is because in Korea, everyone turns a year older when the clock strikes 12 on January 1st, regardless of your own birthday.
In the series, the 19-year-olds become full adults when they become 20. Before this, however, they have to stay in School 19 where they learn the basics of being an adult, like cooking, finances, and human relationships.
They are also given one strict rule: no dating allowed. So when they turn 20, they have to move to House 20 where the rules no longer apply to them.
We already know that the show is hosted by Cho Kyu Hyun, Kim Ji Eun, Lee Su Hyun, and Jeong Se Woon. But who are the contestants of the reality show?
This article will talk about 19/20: Meet the cast of the K-reality show.
Kim Pyeong Seok
Pyeong Seok dreams of following his father's footsteps and becoming a hapkido instructor.
These days, he volunteers to teach hapkido to kids. But in the afternoons, he drives the van and picks up students.
His friends say he is hard to approach the first time but he tends to be a really funny yet clumsy guy.
Lee Ji Min
Ji Min has always been interested in becoming a sports instructor since he enjoys various sports.
This has also led him to meet lots of girls, who often shared their Pepero with him during Pepero Day.
Lim Jung Yun
Growing up, Jung Yun dreamt of becoming a baseball player. But eventually, he learned to love acting and realized he wanted to be an actor. This year, he decided to pursue this field and take classes to hone his craft.
Jung Yun went to an all-boys school in high school, which didn't give him a chance to meet girls.
Moon Se Yeon
Se Yeon has always been an athlete. He started playing table tennis when he was in the second grade. And for the next 10 years, he has joined numerous competitions.
Se Yeon's team won the national high school competition last year and he has also been a member of the Youth National team.
Se Yeon eventually wishes to play for the Jecheon City Hall table tennis team and win in the pro-league.
But he's pretty excited to go abroad and experience life away from Korea. When he's with strangers, he gets very shy. But among friends, Se Yeon is known as the funny guy.
Oh Sang Won
It's quite unusual for people to compare you with a certain dog breed. But for Sang Won, this isn't anything strange at all.
This is because he has been likened to a golden retriever, who likes to meet new people.
He dreams to enter the field of robotics as an engineer. Sang Won is currently attending Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) where he'll be a sophomore next year.

Jeong Ji Woo
Ji Woo also dreams of becoming a flight attendant so she can meet lots of people and experience various cultures.
Ji Woo is described as a popular girl for looks.
"People say I'm pretty and cute when they first meet me so they show interest and they say they like me because I'm thoughtful."

Seo Yeong also dreams of becoming an actress. She loves to learn more about the life of the character she's portraying.
Noh Hee Ji
Hee Ji loves to exercise using cycling, running, and lifting. Her love for physical fitness stems from her mother, who is a pilates instructor.
