SBS's 'Mountain Bachelor Young-woong' conveyed singer Im Young-woong's sincere confession.
The second episode of 'Mountain Bachelor Young-woong,' which aired on the 30th of last month, soared to a household rating of 4.5% and a peak per-minute rating of 6.1%, securing not only the top spot in variety show ratings for the same time slot but also the number one position among all variety programs broadcast that day.
Additionally, Im Young-woong climbed to second place in the non-drama category of the 'Fun Dex' released in the first week of the broadcast, proving his status as a 'variety trendsetter.' (Nielsen Korea, Seoul Capital Area, household basis)
In that day's broadcast, alongside Im Young-woong's sincere confession, the first friends of the mountain house, comedian Heo Kyeong-hwan, actor Hyun Bong-sik, and the duo live performance by singer Jo Jae-jeu, were presented.
As night fell and the '(Jo) Jae-jeu Bar' began, Im Young-woong and the members sang songs such as 'Confession' and 'I Love You,' heating up the summer night. As the atmosphere matured, Im Young-woong confessed his inner thoughts. Jo Jae-jeu introduced, "Recently, Young-woong called me. He asked how I felt when my song 'Don't You Know' became a hit," drawing attention.
In response, Im Young-woong added, "Actually, I think fans like my songs now, but I am not a singer like you who has hit songs," surprising everyone. Im Young-woong then expressed his deep concerns, saying, "I need to go somewhere unexpected, but it feels like I'm just doing the same thing over and over." Jo Jae-jeu encouraged him, saying, "I was surprised. Even as a vocalist, he is recognized by other singers, and I felt that 'he is looking further ahead, he has such concerns.' It's cool that he keeps worrying."
