Line Up is a television entertainment program. As of September, 2007 it had been aired on SBS as the tactics to compete against the most popular reality television program called Infinite Challenge broadcast during the same time slot on MBC.

The program is largely unscripted, and takes a similar form to challenge based reality television programs familiar in other countries, but the challenges are often silly, absurd, or impossible to achieve, so that the program takes on the aspect of a satirical comedy variety show, rather than a more standard reality or contest program.

Unlike other South Korean reality television shows, this show divides their casts into two major teams, called "Kyu Line" named after the leading MC "Lee Kyung-kyu" and "Yong Line" named after the MC "Kim Yong-man".

As of 2009, it is cancelled on Summer 2008 after losing on competition by MBC's Infinite Challenge. Currently, SBS aired a show "Star King", which is a program about citizens showing performance.
