Explorers of the Human Body (Hangul: 인체탐험대; Hanja: 人體探險隊) is one of the three shows of New Good Sunday, a lineup of variety shows that airs every Sunday evening at 5:30 PM on SBS. The show's aim is to answer curious questions about the human body, where the Super Junior members perform the answers by doing experiments with their own bodies. The show succeeds in attracting a wide audience due to its comedic and educational content.
Background
After previous popular shows X-man and Jihwaza ended, SBS's New Good Sunday decides to air a new educational program, introducing the audience to the human body. Shin Dong-yup was chosen to be the lead MC, with the Super Junior members being regulars and co-MCs of the program. Ratings for the show became the highest of all three shows that aired in SBS's New Good Sunday lineup as the show is educational and entertaining to watch.
Each episode has a main topic to explore about the human body. In the first episode, which involved the tongue and blindness, the Super Junior members taste very hot chilis and extremely bitter-tasting drinks to test the mysteries of the tongue. The Super Junior members also test the blindness of their eyes by doing eye-fooling tests.
Many episodes do not simply involve the physical features of the body. Episode six revolves around balance and episode eight deals with crying and tears.
