Format

Magic Eye was divided into two segments:[2]

  • Line Choosing News (선을 정하는 뉴스) [episodes 1-6], which was hosted by Lee Hyo-ri, Moon So-ri and Hong Jin-kyung, featured stories of everyday life issues from viewers and aimed to draw the line for them.
  • Finding the Hidden Stories (숨은 얘기 찾기) [episodes 1-4], which was hosted by Kim Gu-ra and announcer Bae Sung-jae, featured the two hosts directly finding people behind hidden stories and having interviews on the spot.

The show was unified into one program with Kim Gu-ra joining the other three female hosts in a similar format to Line Choosing News, beginning on August 19, 2014.[5]

gollark: WHY*JIT* does some madness in order to just run the regular C compiler (bundled with your code for portability, of course) and then execute the result.
gollark: Someone was annoying and refused to accept that.
