Get a glimpse into South Korea through the Super Rich in Korea. This documentary looks into the extravagant lives of five individuals swimming in opulence within the vibrant cityscape of Seoul.

At the heart of the series lies its trio of MCs — BamBam, Cho Sae-ho, and Mimi — whose reactions mirror those of the audience, shifting between disbelief and amusement as they bear witness to the cast's exorbitant spending habits. Their down-to-earth commentary injects a dose of relatability into the otherwise fantastical world of the super-rich, serving as a grounding force amidst the glitz and glamor.

The ensemble cast is a diverse tapestry, featuring individuals from various cultural backgrounds, each with their own unique story to tell. From Aren Yoo, the Korean-American fashionista whose closet rivals a high-end boutique, to Noor Naim, the Iranian-American influencer with a penchant for designer handbags, and David Yong, the Singaporean finance tycoon unapologetically flaunting his family's generational wealth, the cast members offer a tantalizing glimpse into their privileged lives.

Yet, amidst the grandeur and excess, questions linger about the show’s cultural representation. With only one Korean cast member amidst a predominantly international ensemble, one wonders whether this choice was intentional or reflective of a broader trend in the portrayal of ostentatious wealth within South Korea. Perhaps the producers sought out personalities whose flamboyance surpassed cultural boundaries, or perhaps it's indicative of a gap in representation within the country's affluent circles.

?EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Get your cool bite-sized sweet treat from M’oishi. If you’re craving something sweet this summer but looking for something that’s lighter than cake and donuts, then Mochi is the way to go. Find them at several locations all over Cairo (east and west) including Cairo Festival City in New Cairo, Arkan Plaza in Sheikh Zayed, The Field in Maadi, and more. You could even order M’oishi to your home or office anywhere in Cairo through Talabat.

Mochi? If you’re behind on what’s hot in the food scene, this trending Japanese dessert is essentially rice flour dough filled with a scoop of ice cream — a big win for our gluten-intolerant friends. And M’oishi’s is the best we’ve had in Cairo.

So moch(i) to choose from. You can’t pass on their best selling mochi flavor: Mango berry. It tastes like a vacation, is really the best way to describe it. Other flavors we love are the salted caramel, bubble gum, and strawberry cheesecake.

Boba on the side?Yes, please. We may be stepping into sugar rush territory with this choice, but we couldn’t resist mentioning the Brown Sugar boba. The sweet milk tea with the tapioca pearls was so delicious we almost asked for another one. Not really, but we could’ve.

Fancy something savory post sweets? M’oishi also has a full menu of savory food options (including breakfast) for you to choose from.
