MBC’s popular reality show, “I Live Alone,” has experienced a significant drop in viewership, hitting a new low for the year. The episode featuring NCT’s Doyoung, which aired on September 27, only managed to attract 5.1% of the national audience, according to Nielsen Korea. This marks a significant decline from the previous week’s 7.2% rating.
Doyoung’s Appearance Fails to Boost Ratings
The episode featuring Doyoung, known for his quiet and introspective personality, seemed to have failed to resonate with viewers. The episode’s focus on Doyoung’s daily routine, which included activities like cooking and reading, was perceived as “boring” by some viewers, contributing to the decline in ratings.
Possible Reasons for the Decline
While Doyoung’s appearance might have contributed to the lower ratings, other factors could also be at play. The overall decline in viewership for reality shows in general, coupled with increasing competition from other entertainment programs, might have also played a role.
Future of “I Live Alone”
Despite the recent setback, “I Live Alone” remains a popular and long-running show. The production team will likely analyze the reasons behind the decline and adjust future episodes to attract a wider audience. Whether the show can regain its former glory remains to be seen.
