"Who Are You Living With?" prompts us to reconsider the traditional definition of "family." The concept of family has changed significantly from the past. This is because family communities are emerging that are not merely bound by blood, but are artificially created through individual choice or differ from the existing concept. This book is a reinterpretation of the documentary *Fantastic Family*, produced by tvN to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It was reportedly planned with the intention
Although times have changed, there is one burden I cannot shake off from a corner of my heart: the fact that I cannot live like others. Even now, well past the age of my parents—who married quite late—I have yet to escape being a so-called "Kangaroo Generation" adult. Looking around, quite a few acquaintances have already become parents. Until just a few years ago, my parents strongly urged me to start a family. Now, however, the atmosphere has shifted to one where they pressure me to take
I could not help but be quite surprised to see that ever since the moment human desire for change transformed the world, the concept and presence of "family"—which can be considered the very foundation of our existence in this world—have also established themselves as subjects of change. Until now, we had formed and maintained the notion of family as a traditional, lineage-based view of existence rooted in blood ties; however, facing the wave of change, everything in the world is creating a
These days, drinking alone, eating alone, people living alone, and single men and women are all trends. Along with this, it is true that the culture of choosing not to marry and the culture of living with pets are growing. Rather than the traditional concept that family is defined solely by blood ties, new concepts of family are becoming popular. But what would it be like if a robot became your family?

Who are you living with? A close-up look at a surprising new family that breaks the mold of traditional family – the Fantastic Family production team. Many people consider "family" to be blood relatives. However, in reality, a family begins when two strangers meet, marry, and form a household.

There was a time when the "disintegration of the family" or the emergence of new types of families was passionately discussed, not only in films such as *Who Are You Living With?* (1999), *The Family with a Husband* (1999), and *A Family with a Husband* (2003), but also in novels like *Mayonnaise* (1997). Looking back, readers and audiences seemed bewildered as fantasies about the ideal mother, father, and family image burst open and the safe formula of "family = love = a sanctuary from the

The meaning of 'family' is gradually changing. Last year, I watched *Fantastic Family*, which aired on a certain broadcasting station. To be honest, I was a bit surprised at the time. I used to think of 'family' as meaning living together tightly bound by blood ties, and I believed that was the case. However, watching the show, I could see that the meaning of family is evolving just as society changes. From families formed with robots to couples living separately yet acknowledging each other,
tvN <Fantastic Family> production team: Who are you living with?
*Who Are You Living With?* is a book newly reconstructed by the production team, based on the core content of the four-part special documentary *Fantastic Family* commemorating tvN's 10th anniversary, with detailed behind-the-scenes stories and reporting notes added directly by the team. *Fantastic Family* garnered significant attention for its spectacular visuals and dramatic narrative structure, moving away from the rigid format of traditional documentaries. It achieved this by utilizing vast materials—covering special families around the world and interviewing 600 citizens—during a preparation period of one year for planning and one year for reporting. This book demonstrates that the value of family is not collapsing, but rather its scope and concept are expanding. This is because, contrary to the taken-for-granted notion that "family is blood," families formed by "choice" and "relationships" rather than blood ties are emerging in reality. This book offers help to everyone in this era who questions the topic of "family," including those struggling with family conflicts, those exhausted by the difficulties and mental loneliness of living alone, and others.
