Non-Summit

The show started productions with veteran Lim Jung-ah, who produced Star Edition, and co-produced, with Yeo Woon-hyuk, variety shows MBC's Radio Star, and JTBC's Men's Stuff, after coming over to the cable company, from the major networks, in 2011.{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Jun-Hyeun|title=[Photo] Sung Si Kyung at press conference of JTBC's 'Be Normal Summit'|url=https://sg.entertainment.yahoo.com/news/photo-sung-si-kyung-at-press-conference-of-054159925.html|date=July 2, 2014|publisher=Yahoo!

The show's format, presented with humor, is meant to emulate a meeting of world leaders, like Doctors Without Borders, i.e. "Youth Without Borders"; or the United Nations, or G11, and is hosted by Jun Hyun-moo "Chairman", Yoo Se-yoon "Secretary General", and Sung Si-kyung "Chairman", with guest appearances by South Korean celebrities, guest "representatives", who announce the weekly topics. The stated mission: "The youth group, without borders, Non-Summit, is a variety show, that strives for peace and security, for the world's youth, by speaking on agendas, and debating with abnormals, who insist they're representatives."{{cite web|script-title=ko:비정상회담 [1회] 다시보기|url=http://home.jtbc.joins.com/Vod/VodView.aspx?epis_id=EP10020791|date=July 7, 2014|publisher=JTBC|language=ko|access-date=September 3, 2014|archive-date=October 7, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141007191226/http://home.jtbc.joins.com/Vod/VodView.aspx?epis_id=EP10020791|url-status=live}}

The show has been compared to KBS2's 2006 Global Talk Show (Misuda), which had female foreigners discussing global issues.{{cite web|last=Kwon|first=Hye-rim|title=JTBC '비정상회담', 이 패널들 심상치않다(종합)'미수다' 연상시키는 콘셉트, 패널 재치는 한 수 위|url=http://joynews.inews24.com/php/news_view.php?g_menu=700200&g_serial=832710|date=July 1, 2014|publisher=Inews24|language=ko|access-date=September 3, 2014|archive-date=September 4, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904144833/http://joynews.inews24.com/php/news_view.php?g_menu=700200&g_serial=832710|url-status=live}} Host Yoo Se-yoon said their new show would go a step further than getting to know one another's cultures, and would include problem solving, coming up with "what's better, together." Lim said the show's in-depth discussions made fluency in Korean the number one standard for casting the global guests. Lim said, "The cast of foreign people was because, although Korea is reinforcing its position on the global stage right now, it still is just one country among many others. And I thought perceiving the problems of Koreans who are in their 20s and 30s, in a universal perspective, was necessary."{{cite web|last=Jin|first=Eun-soo|title=Talk show aims to solve youth issues|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2991607|date=July 7, 2014|publisher=JoongAng Ilbo|access-date=September 2, 2014|archive-date=September 5, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905005100/http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2991607|url-status=live}}

One of the original cast members, Daniel Snoeks, whose hands and much of his body were tattooed, and his appearance on the show, was said to contribute to "the cause" of tattoo artists in South Korea, where injecting ink into the skin can only be done legally by qualified doctors, despite the "growing fashion trend." Snoeks said people encountering him on the subway used to move away and comment that his tattoos were "disgusting" or "scary" and after he appeared on the show, people wanted to take pictures with him.

In September, KOCCA said the show "runs a fierce debate on Korean culture" and "their speeches frequently become a hot issue among young viewers, sometimes for being too radical and sometimes too conservative. However, viewers can at least think of both sides of opinions." KOCCA credits the show for not just including "white people from advanced countries" that Koreans are already familiar with, but also inviting guests from diverse countries with varied cultures.{{cite web|last=Shin|first=Ji eun|title=Korean Contents Made By Foreigners|url=http://kormore.com/2014/09/23/korean-contents-made-foreigners/?ckattempt=2|date=September 23, 2014|publisher=KOCCA|access-date=November 13, 2014|archive-date=November 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129012133/http://kormore.com/2014/09/23/korean-contents-made-foreigners/?ckattempt=2|url-status=live}}

In October, Korea.net said the show debates on a wide range of current affairs, with topics that are "sympathetic issues for most people," and the non-Korean panelists, in their adopted home from four to fifteen years, give opinions on things Korean, with answers so stereotypically "Korean," that it makes viewers laugh. The article adds that more TV shows are adding non-Koreans and viewers are responding positively to the "fun" and "genuine" perspectives they bring to the shows, and accounting the appeal to a growing international audience of non-Korean youths. The article further poses that this casting trend reflects a Korean society which is being affected by the influences of globalization, and starting to welcome interactions and communication with non-Koreans, accepting them as true members of the community, and, as a result, bringing new energy to a Korean society that once prided itself on being "a nation with one single ethnicity."{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Seung-ah|title=Non-Koreans take center stage on entertainment TV shows|url=http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=121964|date=October 1, 2014|publisher=Korea.net|access-date=November 3, 2014|archive-date=November 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141103072816/http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=121964|url-status=live}}

They said, "South Korean television stardom is no longer the exclusive domain of Korean nationals. The emergence of foreign stars on Korean television programs draws international attention to South Korea’s entertainment and media industries. Hailing from Australia, France, Ghana, the United States and other countries, foreign stars are breaking down barriers in Korean TV...The actors also serve as cultural ambassadors for their home countries and can find themselves deconstructing stereotypes about other parts of the world.
