After changing to a 5-member-cast, the ratings of “2 Days and 1 Night” reportedly rose.
KBS2’s “2 Days and 1 Night,” which aired on November 28th, showed the cast members starting the “Cubed Radish Kimchi” special in Damyang, Jeollanam Province, after completing the “Dannae Tour” for the special 100th episode. On this day, the members had a race full of pleasant laughter to cover up the vacancy of Kim Seon-ho, who dropped out of the show due to controversy over his private life.
According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, on November 29th, the 102nd episode of “2 Days and 1 Night” recorded a nationwide rating of 11%, 0.8% more than the 101st episode. The audience rating of the latest episode in the metropolitan area is 10.3%. This is the first time the show recorded a rating that surpassed 11% since the 11.4% rating of the 86th episode, which aired on August 8.
In particular, the OB team (Old Boy Team), consisting of Yeon Jung-hoon, Kim Jong-min, and Moon Se-yoon, created a big laugh during their English Speed Quiz, with a maximum viewer rating of 17.4% per minute (based on households nationwide).
Meanwhile, Kim Seon-ho, a regular cast member of “2 Days and 1 Night,” dropped out of the show after his private life scandal broke out. Kim Seon-ho was embroiled in allegations of urging his ex-girlfriend A to have an abortion after A posted a disclosure on the 17th of last month. As the controversy continued, Kim Seon-ho posted an apology on his SNS.
The production crew of “2 Days and 1 Night” later reported about Kim Seon-ho’s departure from the show. The production team also edited most of the recorded footage that Kim Seon-ho had already filmed and only aired the images of the other five members.
