Earth Arcade follows the quest of four female warriors to capture the rabbit that escaped from its home on the moon and landed on Earth. The show, described as a “new concept, hybrid, multiverse, action-adventure,” stars Oh My Girl’s Mimi, IVE’s An Yu-jin, comedian Lee Eun-ji, and rapper Lee Young-ji. To catch the rabbit, these warriors must fly to places where they take on missions to reach their goal. Director Na Young-seok, better known in the world of Korean variety shows as Na-PD, launched Earth Arcade with Director Park Hyun-yong.
