Recently, fresh concept and format entertainment show off their charms, but viewers have not forgotten the "national entertainment".
KBS2 entertainment "2 Days & 1 Night Season 4" which was first broadcast on the 8th, approached viewers with familiarity by borrowing the format of the previous season. It was a return to the past: The retro winds are also blowing on YouTube. Beyond 'Online Topgol Park', which plays real-time music programs in the past, the Highlight broadcasts of Infinite Challenge', Running Man' and '2 Days & 1 Night' are gaining popularity on YouTube.
The first broadcast of '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' was literally 'big hit'. The ratings of "1 Night, 2 Days Season 4" were 14.4% in the first part and 17.6% in the second part (TNMS, national households); 2.2% p higher than the 14.1% of the season 3 final ratings. Last season, which was popular, was a better result even though it suddenly ended due to the involvement of the performer Jung Jun-young's sex crimes, Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jun-ho's betting golf controversy. It is more meaningful as it has become difficult to break the double-digit ratings of terrestrial TV programs in recent years.
'2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' was named as a new member of Yeon Jung Hoon, Moon Se Yoon, Kim Sun Ho, Dindin and Ravi, starting with Kim Jong Min. The new members played Bokbulbok Show Game' as they used to, and they played on the somewhat absurd mission of the production team. In particular, the members who are suffering from the famous "Canaricano" (Canary Activated + Americano) of "1 night and 2 days" were still "2 Days & 1 Night".
At the end of the broadcast, the evening Bokbulbok Show and outdoor mission scenes were foreseen, and the return of 'national entertainment' was expected. Attention is focusing on whether to bring viewers to the living room TV on the weekend afternoon.
Next up is "The Arts Topgol Park." Each terrestrial broadcaster has opened a channel that collects Highlight from past entertainment programs and the response is explosive.
The representative channel is MBC's YouTube channel 'Five Minutes'. In the 'Five Minutes' channel, programs such as Infinite Challenge', 'High Kick without Restraint', 'Come to Play' and 'We Got Married' are edited and posted in about 5 minutes.
The most popular of these is by far Infinite Challenge', with the 'Mudo Legend' five minute-successes averaging 700,000 and the highest number of views of 2.43 million. It is overwhelming compared to the average number of views of about 200,000 high kicks without hesitation and about 130,000 average views of 'We Are Married'.
Viewers' reactions are also hot: Comment windows include 'Editing and uploading certain episodes of the Infinite Challenge' and 'Five minutes is too short. Comment is running, asking to increase it to 50 minutes. Comment number is as high as 2,000 and the number of subscribers is 280,000.
SBS also operated 'SBS retro channel - Straw' and stimulated past emotions. The channel mainly posts the early episodes of the entertainment Running Man', the sitcom 'Sunpung Obstetrics and Gynecology' and 'We can not stop them'. The number of views on the edited version of "Running Man" reached a record 5.31 million times; KBS also reveals the previous seasons of "2 Days & 1 Night" with the channel "Kalkalibi".
Recently, TV channels have become more popular and viewing platforms have become more diverse. The tastes of viewers are getting complicated. Broadcasting companies are producing entertainment programs targeting specific viewers in line with this. Examples include 'Internet broadcasting entertainment', 'dog entertainment', and 'beauty entertainment'.
But there is no new "national entertainment." Instead, we are returning memories to the past "national entertainment."
