Viewers can listen to unaired footage and behind the scenes commentary online after the show has aired.[3] The program has been cancelled due to low ratings, and airs its final episode on November 18, 2014.[4]
Format
Magic Eye was divided into two segments:[2]
- Line Choosing News (선을 정하는 뉴스) [Episode 1-6], which was hosted by Lee Hyo-ri, Moon So-ri, and Hong Jin-kyung, features stories of everyday life issues from viewers and aims to draw the line for them.
- Finding the Hidden Stories (숨은 얘기 찾기) [Episode 1-4], which was hosted by Kim Gu-ra and announcer Bae Sung-jae, features the two hosts directly finding people behind hidden stories and having interviews on the spot.
The show has been 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]
