Something Special, the Seoul-based international Format agency founded by Format specialists Jin Woo Hwang, President & Executive Director, and InSoon Kim, EVP and Head of Content, announce that Germany’s Tresor TV has optioned the hit Korean celebrity format Battle in the Box.
Tresor TV, a subsidiary of Keshet International, produced many popular global formats for the German market including I Can See Your Voice, Germany’s Next Top Model, Survivor, and The Supernanny, among others. This is the first format deal between the two companies.
Battle In the Box is a fun competition game show format in which two celebrity pairs team up to live together in a specially designed box set, where the size of living space and their budget are determined through a series of games and challenges.
Hwang and Kim stated: “Tresor TV has produced fantastic high-quality television shows with Korean formats since they first started and they’re the perfect partner to take Battle in the Box. This fun- packed celebrity competition game show is a major hit in South Korea, and we can’t wait to see how Tresor brings it to life for German audiences.”
Axel Kühn, Managing Director of Tresor TV, says: “We love the creative approach of Something Special and their wide range of new ideas. Battle in the Box had us hooked immediately. The way this format blends gameshow and celebrity reality elements makes it fresh and unique. We are very grateful for Something Special’s trust in Tresor to make Battle in the Box a hit in Germany as well.”
