X-Man (Hangul: X맨) was a popular South Korean game show which ran from November 8, 2003 to April 8, 2007 on SBS. Its popularity peaked in 2004, but a decline in ratings led to its cancellation. It was hosted by Yu Jae-seok (MC Yu/MC유), Kang Ho-dong, Kim Jae-dong, who was later replaced by Gong Hyung-jin, Park Kyung-lim, and Lee Hyuk-jae; only the first two were on the program since its inception.
Each episode was divided into two parts, airing in consecutive weeks. The various celebrities were divided into two teams, with one led by Kang (Kang Team) and the second by the other main MC (initially Kim Jae-dong, then Gong Hyung-jin, then Park Kyung-lim, then finally Lee Hyuk-Jae). Yu Jae-seok served as the show’s mediator and main MC. At the start of each episode, one celebrity would be chosen by the producer to be the X-Man, whose main mission was to disrupt teamwork in his or her team and purposely throw challenges while keeping his or her identity a secret. Winning teams of each mission would be awarded ₩1 million .
After all the missions, the guests then voted on who they think is the X-Man. The celebrity participant who was chosen was then digitally “fingerprinted” to see if the others chose correctly. If the others chose correctly, any money earned by the teams was donated to charity, under the names of the various guests. If they failed to find the X-Man, the X-Man was considered to have succeeded and the money donated to charity was given under the X-Man’s name.
