The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Talents for Sale (Korean: 어서옵SHOW) is a South Korean variety show created and broadcast by KBS. It first aired on 6 May 2016. The show borrows ideas from home shopping channels, in which the MCs work together with guests to raise funds for local charities by advertising products created based on the guests' talents. KBS announced on 12 April 2016 that it has signed a ₩1.62 billion one-year contract (US$1,376,481.6) with a Chinese company for the rights to air the Talents for Sale and another KBS show, Battle Trip, in China. This makes the Talents for Sale the first ever South Korean variety show exported to China prior to its first airing. Talents for Sale aired at 21:35 (KST) every Fridays on KBS2.
