'Radio Star' ratings have fallen disastrously.

According to viewer rating research company Nielsen Korea on the 2nd, the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star', which aired on the 1st, recorded 2% (national standard).

This is a 1%P decrease from the 3% viewership recorded on the broadcast on March 25. In particular, it is the lowest ratings among this year's broadcasts.

"Radio Star," starring Jo Gap-kyung, was decorated with a special "loyal trigger." Cho Kap-kyung appeared as the 'original military president' and recalled his past heyday. He said, "I have a top star spasm. A famous person can't talk well because he thinks, "How many people pretend to know?" Unexpectedly, I'm timid," he said.

This "Radio Star" broadcast was at the center of fierce controversy just with the news of Cho Gap-kyung's appearance. This is because the production team pushed ahead with Jo Gap-kyung's appearance while the sons of Cho Gap-kyung and Hong Seo-beom were recently embroiled in allegations of extramarital affairs.

The production team chose to break through head-on, consistent with the audience's request for editing and the reporters' request to understand the situation even before the broadcast. In fact, "Radio Star" has not expressed any position other than the position that it is "understanding the situation" since the controversy erupted. In the midst of this, he was criticized for distributing only press releases promoting the program.

As a result, some pointed out that it is intended to link the controversy to viewership. The ratings were disastrous. It showed a downward trend compared to last week, proving the cold turn of viewers. In other words, the public's fatigue and reluctance to consume controversial characters as entertainment materials have been shown in figures.

Meanwhile, A, the former daughter-in-law of Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung's sons, revealed that the couple's son B committed an affair during their marriage, causing the marriage relationship to collapse. A married B in 2024, but claimed that B had an affair with a fellow teacher in April of that year while pregnant.

In response, A filed a lawsuit against B for alimony, and the first trial court reportedly ordered A to pay 30 million won in alimony and 800,000 won per month in child support, judging that B was responsible for the breakdown of the marriage. An appeals court is currently in progress.

In this regard, Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung bowed their heads, saying, "We bow down and deeply apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience to the public regarding our son's divorce lawsuit."

At the time of this controversy, Jo Gap-kyung had already finished recording "Radio Star." In response, A wrote on his personal account, "I have to see him on the show again. "The victim continues to live in pain like this," and "It is wrong to ignore and appear on the show even though he knew about his partner," he said, expressing displeasure at Cho Gap-kyung's appearance on the show.
