What happens

Heroes (Korean: 영웅호걸; Hanja: 英雄豪傑) is a South Korean variety show; a part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup, along with Running Man. It is classified as a "popularity search variety", where the female celebrities compete to find out which of them is more popular among citizens. It was first aired on July 18, 2010, and ended on May 1, 2011, with a total of 40 episodes aired. Each week, the celebrities are divided into two equal groups of a "Popular" group and an "Unpopular" group (or "Not-So-Popular" group) and must complete certain missions every episode and whoever wins usually get a prize, such as the other team must make dinner for them, they get a hot shower and beds, etc. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
