Don Spike, a prestigious university graduate, will be teaching history. Microdot, who studied at the Auckland University of Technology, will be covering mathematics.

The Visiting Teacher production team claimed several factors were considered prior to selecting the first round of teachers.

“We looked at not only the celebrities’ abilities to teach the students, but also their people skills and communication skills. We look forward to the chemistry between these star teachers and their students. There are additional celebrity teachers that we have not yet revealed, so please keep your eyes on us.” — Mnet

Students and parents in Korea can sign up to be taught by these celebrity teachers. Fans are dying to be chosen as the lucky student to be tutored one-on-one by their favorite K-Pop stars!

“Science taught by Luda?! Why must there be an age restriction… I’d love to improve my science grades. Can I at least sit in and hear her class? Please?”
“Can college students sign up? I would love to get help from Vernon.”
“WOW, have I ever been more jealous of students… Why am I so old, d*mn it!”

The show is scheduled to premiere in August 2018.
