Nine Chinese celebrities are in Korea for a friendly gladiator-like match against Korean contenders.

The Chinese stars are joining Korean TV entertainment show “Let’s Go! Dream Team” on KBS. The celebrities, who were selected for their athleticism, will lock horns with Korean stars including singers Jun Jin from boy band Shinhwa, Nickhun and Chansung from 2PM, and Kim Dong-jun from ZE:A.

The Chinese stars were all smiles when they landed at Incheon International Airport on Wednesday.

The national match-up takes place on a stage built for the occasion at the Gimpo Ara Waterway Square on Thursday evening.
