Real Men (Hangul: 진짜 사나이; RR: Jinjja Sanai) is a South Korean variety show featuring eight male celebrities as they experience life in the military, which is mandatory for all Korean men for two years. The show debuted on MBC on April 14, 2013, as part of the Sunday Night programming block. The last episode of season 2 aired in November 27, 2016.

The original cast members were Kim Su-ro, Mir, Ryu Soo-young, Sam Hammington, Seo Kyung-suk and Son Jin-young.[1] Jang Hyuk and Park Hyung-sik later joined the cast.[2][3]

Mir left the show in June 2013. Ryu Soo-young, Son Jin-young and Jang Hyuk left the show in February 2014 and were replaced by Chun Jung-myung, Park Gun-hyung, K.Will, and Henry Lau.[4][5]

On July 26, 2018, the new season's line-up was announced. MBC stated that Kang Ji-hwan, Viktor Ahn, Kim Ho-young, Jeon So-mi's father Matthew Douma, Pentagon's Hongseok, Oh Yoon-ah, Lee Yu-bi, Kim Jae-hwa, Black Pink's Lisa, and Koyote's Shin Ji will be appearing on the third season of Real Men. However this season is much different from the previous seasons as it will have both a male and female cast appearing together on the show. This new season airs every Friday at 21:50 (KST) starting September 21, 2018.
