What happens

Day Day Up (Chinese: 天天向上; pinyin: tiāntiān xiàngshàng) was a Chinese talk show aired on Hunan Television from 2008 to 2022. Shortly after its launch, the program established a hosting ensemble collectively known as Everyday Brothers, led by Wang Han and originally consisting of Eddy Ou, Qian Feng, Tian Yuan, Yu Haoming, Kim Eun Sung, and Hiroshi Yano. The group reflected a pan-Asian concept, with members from mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. The lineup evolved over time and notably included Wang Yibo, whose tenure as a co-host preceded his breakthrough in The Untamed (2019). In its final period the program was primarily hosted by Wang Han, Qi Sijun, Sha Baoliang, Pan Yueming, Hu Haiquan, Ding Zhen, Wu Zelin, and Zhang Yanqi. Throughout its run, Day Day Up was one of Hunan Television’s two flagship programs, alongside Happy Camp, and one of the most popular television shows in China The Chinese name of the show was taken from a Chinese idiom coined by Mao Zedong, "study hard and make progress every day" (好好学习,天天向上; hǎohāo xuéxí, tiāntiān xiàngshàng), which is literally translated as "study well, move up day by day".
