According to viewer rating research company Nielsen Korea on the 17th (Korea Standard Time), the "2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics" broadcast by JTBC on the 16th soared to 11.2% of average household ratings and 17.6% of maximum viewers per minute based on paid households nationwide, and the Seoul metropolitan area standard also recorded an average of 10.6% and a maximum of 16.9%, ranking first among all programs broadcast on the same day. The national target audience, a key indicator of advertisers, averaged 4.1% and up to 6.1%, and the target audience in the metropolitan area also rose to an average of 3.7% and up to 6.0%, indicating that both households and targets are No. 1 in all channels. In particular, Kim Ki-li's women's 1,000m final scene was considered the best scene of the competition and peaked in viewership.

At 8:50 p.m. on the 17th, Korea's snowboard's new hope Yoo Seung-eun will once again make a golden aerial leap in the snowboarding slopestyle final.

The women's curling team, which has reached its peak with consecutive defeats to China following its archrival Japan, will meet Switzerland at 10:05 p.m. on the 17th. The whole nation is paying attention to whether the national team will be able to continue the Miracle of Milan by winning a ticket to the semifinals.

At 2:30 a.m. on the 18th, Lee Hae-in and Shin Ji-ah, who follow the "Figure Queen" lineage, will participate in the women's single short program. Whether the two athletes will perform their best on the first Olympic stage will be the key to entering the medal table.

Finally, at 2:50 a.m. on the 18th, Kim Jin-soo, Kim Hyung-geun, Seok Young-jin, and Chae Byung-do in the men's two-seater bobsleigh will compete in the 3rd and 4th final races.
