1. Have Fun 2 嗨放派2 (Ongoing)

Can you pat a lobster to sleep? Do nostrils have shift work? If you’re someone who thinks of random questions like this, Have Fun 2 will be right up your alley. In every episode, the team is given a few experiments to test out. Some experiments are useful, while most of the others are fun to know but add no value to our lives. This is the exact concept that Have Fun 2 wants to achieve – a sense of freedom to try new (and impractical) things and escape the constraints and pressure of real life! The strange and hilarious experiments are carried out by a group of funloving yet rowdy gentlemen – Ren Jia Lun, Li Rong Hao, Wei Da Xun, Li Dan, Fan Cheng Cheng – who are guaranteed to keep you entertained from start to finish!

Regular cast: Ren Jia Lun, Li Rong Hao, Wei Da Xun, Li Dan, Fan Cheng Cheng

As they brave through thick and thin, the six men develop a strong brotherhood that is filled with warmth and laughter. Despite the rather serious setting, the hilarious interactions between the guys will give you endless laughter!

The cast of six has an ultimate mission – to earn enough money to purchase privileges prepared by the director. From a mouthwatering seafood feast to a staycation at a luxurious holiday resort, the temptations to enjoy these privileges keep the cast motivated in their ‘jobs’. And with iconic personalities like Yue Yun Peng, Zhang Ruo Yun and Huang Zi Tao, it’s almost impossible to take this Chinese reality show seriously!
