'''''Happy Sunday''''' ({{langx|ko|해피 선데이}}) is a Korean reality-variety show shown on the KBS2 network, which competes directly against MBC's ''Sunday Night'' and SBS's ''Good Sunday'' line-up. Although it has been broadcast since 2003, its line-up of shows has frequently changed, with a complete revamp occurring in Spring of 2007. At that time, three new shows were introduced – ''Are You Ready'', ''High-Five'', and ''Immortal Songs''. Due to its poor reception, ''Are You Ready'' quickly evolved into ''1 Night 2 Days'', with most of its cast intact. In late November 2008, ''Happy Sunday'' had a revamp of its shows keeping ''1 Night 2 Days'' as the second segment and bringing back ''Immortal Songs'' which was previously liked by viewers. However, in late March, ''Immortal Songs'' ended once again and was replaced with ''Qualifications of Men'', making ''Happy Sunday'' an all-male cast, with a total of 14 members. In 2013, ''Qualifications of Men'' was cancelled and replaced with ''Star Family Show Mamma Mia''. On November 3, 2013 ''Star Family Show Mamma Mia'' was moved to Wednesday nights and replaced with ''The Return of Superman''.

Out of the three Sunday night shows, KBS's ''Happy Sunday'', MBC's ''Sunday Sunday Night'' and SBS's ''Good Sunday'', only KBS has kept its program as a "whole program". Both MBC and SBS has divided their Sunday night show into two parts, the first segment as one program and the second as another. Both MBC and SBS have done this to record better TV ratings, which is important in South Korean media to prove the show's popularity. The key variety programs which garner Sunday night ratings and are usually compared to one another are ''KBS Happy Sunday's'' ''1 Night 2 Days'', ''MBC Sunday Sunday Night's'' ''Real Men'', and ''SBS Good Sunday's'' ''Running Man''.

==History== During the 1990s KBS2's Sunday program was called ''Super Sunday'' ({{Korean|hangul=슈퍼선데이|labels=no}}). But in February 1998, the name was changed to ''Joyful Super Sunday TV'' (슈퍼 TV 일요일은 즐거워). In November 2003, the name was changed again to ''101% Sunday'' (일요일은 101%). On September 13, 2004, voice (dubbing) artist and 2003 KBS Entertainment Awards Grand Prize (Daesang) winner, Jang Jeong-jin ({{Korean|hangul=장정진|labels=no}}), was recording for ''The Lord of the Alley'' ({{Korean|hangul=골목의 제왕|labels=no}}) segment where he had to eat rice cakes during a game and was later hospitalized.<ref>{{in lang|ko}} [https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/108/0000000546 KBS 녹화중 떡먹다 '의식불명' 사고] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220609171853/https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=108&aid=0000000546 |date=2022-06-09 }} ''Star News''.

====Season 1==== ''Immortal Songs'' ({{korean|불후의 명곡|不朽의 明曲|Bulhu-ui Myeong-gok}}) was co-hosted by former Country Kko Kko partners Shin Jung-hwan and Tak Jae-hoon. Although the show initially had various co-hosts, Kim Sung-eun became the final permanent host alongside Shin and Tak. The special guest for the week is their "vocal coach", usually a famous Korean singer, although sometimes record producers and composers have appeared as the special guest. During the course of the show, the special guest's top singles (as voted by netizens) are revealed and the "students" must sing karaoke-style. At the end of the show, the best singer/student is chosen by the special guest and receives a special prize.

=== Qualifications of Men === {{main|Qualifications of Men}}

*Originally aired: March 29, 2009 – April 7, 2013 *Cast: Lee Kyung-kyu, Kim Gook-jin, Kim Tae-won, Lee Yoon-seok, Yoon Hyung-bin, Joo Sang-wook, Kim Jun-ho *Former members: Kim Sung-min, Lee Jung-jin, Yang Joon-hyuk, Jun Hyun-moo

''Qualifications of Men'' ({{korean|남자의 자격|{{linktext|男子}}의 {{linktext|資格}}}}; also known as ''Qualifying Men'' or ''The Qualities of a Man''), replaced the second season of ''Immortal Songs'' in late March 2009. It is a show where a group of mostly middle-aged male celebrities try to complete missions (deemed to be of a quality required of a "qualifying man") given by the producer or sometimes thought of by the members.

In the first episodes, the cast joked that their primary aim was not to disturb the ratings of ''1 Night 2 Days''. However, the show was an unexpected success and rivaled their sister corner ''1N2D'' in the 2009 KBS Entertainment Awards. The cast includes the main MC Lee Kyung-kyu, who made his comeback into the Korean TV industry with this show; Kim Gook-jin, a famous comedian who recently came back from attempting to become a professional golfer; Kim Tae-won, leader of the legendary rock-ballad band Boohwal; Lee Yoon-seok, a comedian known for his doctor's degree and conversely his ridiculously weak strength (though since joining the show, Kim Tae-won has virtually taken over his title of "Weakling of the nation"); Yoon Hyung-bin, a famous comedian from the show ''Gag Concert'' who frequently compares himself to Lee Jung-jin, although often to no avail; Yang Joon-hyuk, one of the greatest players in Korean baseball history and currently holds the records for home runs, RBI, and best batting average; and Jun Hyun-moo, a KBS news announcer and reporter known for his variety and comedic skills, who is rising in the entertainment world (also known for his parody of SHINee's "Lucifer" dance).

The cast has been through a variety of physically and emotionally taxing missions, usually spanning over 24 hours, performing the likes of serving mandatory military service again, crying, becoming employees of random companies, not smoking for a day, wake-boarding, singing in a choir, participating in an amusement park parade show, and forming an amateur band. The most memorable moment for the program was when 2 of the members (Kim Gook-jin and former member Kim Sung-min) was selected as a guest for the United States Air Force Thunderbirds Acrobatic Team, during their 2009 Far East Tour at Osan Air Base, in South Korea. For the Choir episodes, both of the Choir team won awards (the most recent was the 2nd Place during the KBS National Choir Contest "The Harmony", with Kim Tae-won as a conductor).

In late 2010, Kim Sung-min was dropped from the program after being arrested for meth use and smuggling. He was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison, suspended for 4 years.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kim|first=Rahn|title=Actor Kim gets suspended jail term|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2011/11/117_83856.html|work=The Korea Times|access-date=June 30, 2013|date=March 25, 2011|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304062221/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2011/11/117_83856.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On April 10, 2011, Korean baseball legend Yang Joon-hyuk made his debut as a member of the show.

On May 8, 2011, Lee Jung-jin appeared in his final episode and Jun Hyun-moo became the newest and 7th member of the show.
