Coffee Friends (Korean커피프렌즈) is a South Korean reality show program on tvN starring Yoo Yeon-seok, Son Ho-jun, Choi Ji-woo and Yang Se-jong.[1]

It aired on tvN on January 4 and ended on March 8, 2019,[2] broadcast on Fridays at 19:10 (KST).

Synopsis[edit]

On a tangerine farm in Seogwipo, Jeju Island, four actors run a cafe where they serve brunch to visitors. The show was inspired by a donation project that Yoo Yeon-seok and Son Ho-jun ran each month in 2018. During the donation project, the two friends gave free cups of coffee in exchange for donations of any amount.[3]

In this cafe, the menu does not list prices. Instead, customers are encouraged to donate what they want for their food and beverages.

The total profits earned by the project, 12,093,977₩ (roughly 10,200$), were donated in full to a charity for disabled children at the end of the show.[4][5]
