SEOUL, Mar. 15 (Yonhap) -- TVING’s original variety show “Zero Sum Game,” which was released last July, has confirmed to export its format to Vietnam.

“Zero Sum Game” is a psychological survival show in which 10 participants perform diverse missions related to their weight in order to win the prize. The key mission is, above all else, to maintain their combined weight to the same exact digits for seven days. The total prize money is a whopping 300 million won, but the game was set for 1 million won to be deducted for every 100 grams that the participants gain or lose.

The show did go viral for its unprecedented format and also for gathering participants who came from all walks of life with occupations that are highly relevant to weights, such as celebrities, fitness trainers, and YouTubers.
