Before the era of Running Man and 2 Days 1 Night, there was Family Outing. The concept was simple yet revolutionary: A "Family" of top celebrities travels to the homes of elderly people in rural Korean villages. While the grandparents go on a vacation, the celebrity "Family" moves in, takes care of the house, and experiences the quiet countryside life.

Each episode follows a two-day, one-night format where the cast must cook their own meals, work in the fields, and compete in hilarious games to earn food or avoid punishment.
