My Name is Gabriel (Korean: My name is 가브리엘) is a South Korean entertainment program created by Kim Tae-ho. It revolves around celebrities traveling abroad and experiencing the life of another person for 72 hours. It premiered on JTBC on June 21, 2024 for 14 episodes, and was streamed on Disney+ worldwide.

Overview

In a foreign nation where no one recognizes them, well-known South Korean celebrities pretend to be someone else. By doing this, they spend three days living as their alter ego in a whole different culture, even taking on their job. Each experiment ends with them meeting the genuine person who is hiding behind their assumed identity.[1][2]
