'Heart Signal 5' popular man Park Woo-yeol has even won over the heart of the 'catfish woman'.

Recently, Channel A's variety program 'Heart Signal 5' is demonstrating remarkable buzz.

Premiering on the 14th of last month, 'Heart Signal 5' dominated various buzz indicators, portal site search terms, SNS, and YouTube from its first episode. In particular, the fifth episode, which aired on the 12th, broke its own record for peak viewership. The peak viewership in Bundang soared to 1.3%. The 'best minute' was a scene where 'fox man' Park Woo-yeol and 'catfish woman' Choi So-yoon exchanged text messages and confirmed mutual interest.

Thanks to the intense interest from viewers, 'Heart Signal 5' achieved a 'clean sweep' of popular search terms and hot keywords on portal sites immediately after the fifth episode aired. 'Heart Signal 5 Park Woo-yeol Fox Man', 'Catfish Woman Choi So-yoon Occupation Age', and 'Park Woo-yeol-Kang Yu-kyung Carpool Date' occupied portal sites for two consecutive days.

Steady performance on OTT also promises strong box office momentum. Currently, 'Heart Signal 5' is exclusively released on TVING, maintaining 1st to 2nd place in the 'Weekly Content Rankings' in the variety category for five consecutive weeks. Furthermore, it has topped the 'Real-time Popular Live' within TVING every episode, with a market share exceeding 40%, proving solid interest among younger generations.

Figures from the 'Fundex Chart' compiled by Good Date Corporation also support the solid popularity of 'Heart Signal 5'. 'Heart Signal 5' ranked 2nd in 'Tuesday Non-Drama Buzz' for the first week of May (May 4 to May 10) and also appeared at 6th place in the 'TV-OTT Non-Drama Search Issue Keywords TOP10' ('Heart Signal 5 Kang Yu-kyung').

'Heart Signal 5' will present deeper emotional arcs, dramatic narratives, and love lines starting from the sixth episode. At the end of the fifth episode, a trip to Tokushima, Japan for the eight residents was announced, signaling the start of 'Chaos Romance Act 2'.

Earlier, 'catfish woman' Choi So-yoon, upon her first appearance, chose Park Woo-yeol as her first date partner, saying, "I decide within three seconds." She has also exchanged text messages with him and is expected to join the 'Park Woo-yeol' alongside Kang Yu-kyung and Jung Kyung-ri. During her date with Park Woo-yeol, Choi So-yoon boldly flirted, saying, "Let's drop the formalities," and "For now, call me 'unnie'~," shaking up Park Woo-yeol. Until now, Park Woo-yeol had displayed exciting chemistry with both Kang Yu-kyung and Jung Kyung-ri, earning the title of 'fox man', but curiosity grows as to who he will continue his relationship with during the upcoming Japan trip, now joined by 'catfish woman' Choi So-yoon.

The new love line between Kim Seo-won and Jung Kyung-ri is also a key viewing point receiving viewer support, to the extent that comments like "Rediscovery of Kim Seo-won" and "I've joined the Seo-ri couple (Seo-won + Kyung-ri)" are being made. Additionally, Kim Min-ju, who had shown disappointment toward 'Yu-kyung-lover' Kim Sung-min, sent a text message to Kim Sung-min again in the fifth episode, marking a twist. Interest now focuses on how their relationship will unfold during this Japan trip.
