Beat Coin ({{korean|홍김동전|lit=Hong Kim Dong Jeon}}) was a South Korean television program that aired on KBS2 on Thursdays at 20:30 (KST). Helmed by the producer of the third installment of 2 Days & 1 Night and Sister's Slam Dunk, and writer of Battle Trip, the show was inspired by the essences of past variety programs and showcased the premise of leaving fate to the flip of a coin.{{Cite web|last=Ji|first=Seung-hoon|date=July 6, 2022|script-title=ko:운명 체인지...'홍김동전', 21일 첫방...홍진경-김숙-조세호-주우재-우영 출격|trans-title=Destiny Changes With 'Beat Coin', first broadcast on the 21st...
