A brand new reality variety show, “Oh Wow! Most Kiang Village Squad,” is set to premiere on May 31st. The show will be led by Honduras as the captain, accompanied by Wen Zhenling, Shi Mingshuai, and Gao Yingxuan, as they embark on a mission to stay in a Hakka village.
This quartet forms the “Village Squad” and will be stationed in Lishitan Township, Miaoli for a month to “clock in for work.” Special guests such as Xu Anzhi, Hu Yuwei, and Chen Tingni will join in to lead viewers on an exploration of the Hakka village.
Prior to the recording of the show, the four individuals were clueless about the content and had not even visited the shooting location. Surprisingly, among the squad members, Wen Zhenling, who is in charge of Hakka language duties, was recognized as the most reliable.
In response, the captain, Honduras, stated, “Because the other two are boys, I feel they might be less responsible.”
Having been away from “work” for too long, upon arriving in Lishitan Township, Miaoli, the four immediately began exploring the office space curiously and eagerly started checking in, leading to what Captain Honduras described as “check-in chaos.” After a chaotic start, the group finally settled down, each member bringing their lucky items to work. Honduras lit incense, Gao Yingxuan displayed an assortment of dolls, Wen Zhenling brought out a bowl, and Shi Mingshuai surprisingly brought a fortune-cat, which was questioned by Wen Zhenling, “Going on a mission, are you not afraid of too much business?”
Following the establishment of the Village Squad, Captain Honduras led the members to interact with villagers and even visited the township office. The township mayor unexpectedly assigned the squad numerous tasks, including celebrating birthdays for the elderly, assisting villagers with vaccinations, teaching at a school, setting up stalls at a market, and even physical challenges, leaving Honduras to exclaim, “The tasks are quite formidable!” The team members chimed in unison, “This is like a real-life adventure game!” However, they were all eager to take on the challenges.
Furthermore, Wen Zhenling was acknowledged by the team members as the most “ㄎㄧㄤ” (onomatopoeia for whimsical) member. Due to frequently being distracted by small animals and surrounding objects, she would sometimes wander off during the mission, being described by Gao Yingxuan as a truly mysterious partner.
“She really just runs toward cats she sees, greets grannies she encounters; we follow her because she sees beauty in different things, making her whimsical quite fulfilling.”
When special guest Xu Anzhi, who shared similar interests and vibes with Wen Zhenling, made an appearance, Wen Zhenling was overjoyed, joking, “Originally, only one person would drift away, but now when I drift off, there’s someone drifting beside me,” creating many different enjoyable moments.
