Scheduled to premiere on May 22, the series will pair the celebrities with professional skaters to perform a figure skating program each week. One team will be eliminated per week, and the winner will get to perform in Kim's ice show in August.

It is first of its kind in Korea, although there are similar shows overseas, including Britain's "Dancing on Ice", which is hosted by former Olympic champions Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.

Kim will host the show alongside comedian Shin Dong-yup as well as mentor the cast and serve as judge. On Tuesday she posed for photos for the show and had the first shooting session with Sin.
