The ranking of “Koreans’ favorite programs” in February was released, drawing attention.

On Feb 20th, Gallup Korea announced the result of its survey on “Koreans’ favorite programs in February”.

According to the announcement, TV Chosun’s “Mr. Trot 2” beat Netflix’s “The Glory” (No.2) and KBS1’s “Love In Eyes” (No.3) to top the list.

The survey was conducted on 1,000 people aged 18 or older nationwide from Feb 14th to Feb 16th. The sampling error was ±3.1% points at the 95% confidence level. The response rate was 8.9%.

“Mr. Trot 2” recorded a preference of 9.2%, showing a difference from “The Glory” (5.1% preference) and “Love In Eyes” (4.8% preference).

It attracted attention by ranking first for 2 consecutive months following last month. “Mr. Trot” is serving as a gateway to new trot stars as it produced Lim Young Woong, Young Tak and Lee Chan Won at the time of season 1.

In particular, the trot entertainment show craze is continuing as “Mr. Trot 2” recorded the highest viewership rating of 21.8% (based on Nielsen Korea) in episode 7 broadcast on Feb 2nd. “Mr. Trot 2” airs every Thursday at 10 PM.

The preference of “The Glory”, which ranked second, declined compared to the previous month, but considering that Part 2 is scheduled to be released in March, it is expected that its topicality and far-reaching power will be amplified again.
