Rented in Finland
Rented in Finland is a South Korean reality television show starring Lee Je-hoon, Lee Dong-hwi, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Cha Eun-woo. It aired on tvN from December 6, 2024, to February 7, 2025, every Friday at 20:40.
Premise
The cast members are four self-described "city boys" who are flown to Rovaniemi in the northern Lapland region of Finland, where they rent a car and travel to spend two nights each at four different rental cottages. To understand why Finland has been repeatedly named the happiest country in the world, they must adapt to rural life without modern conveniences like electricity, running water or Wi-Fi, while completing tasks like picking berries, chopping firewood, cooking on an open flame and fetching water from a well.
