‘Rookie Manager Kim Yeon-kyung 2’ simultaneously secured first place in both ratings and buzz from its very first broadcast.

According to the ‘FunDex Report’ released by GoodData Corporation, MBC’s ‘Rookie Manager Kim Yeon-kyung 2’ claimed the top spot for TV-OTT Sunday non-drama buzz during the second week of October. The show, which follows Manager Kim Yeon-kyung’s challenge to establish a professional baseball team and the beginning of the new ‘Must-Win Wonderdogs,’ drew intense attention, reaching the pinnacle of buzz from its debut episode.

The ratings also achieved notable results. According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey institutional investor, the first episode of MBC’s ‘Rookie Manager Kim Yeon-kyung 2,’ which aired at 9:10 p.m. on Sunday the 11th, recorded a 3.0% rating in the 2054 demographic—a key indicator of channel competitiveness reflecting changes in the media consumption environment. This figure ranked first among all variety programs broadcast that day, marking a strong start by reaching the top of Sunday variety shows from the very first episode of Season 2. The household viewership rate in the metropolitan area was 5.0%, a higher figure than the first broadcast of Season 1.

In particular, when the world’s number one youth player affiliated with Shujitsu High School appeared and issued a declaration of war against the Wonderdogs, the rating surged to 6.6%, recording the ‘Best Minute.’ As they are set to face off again against the opponent who defeated them in Season 1, anticipation is building over whether the newly formed ‘Must-Win Wonderdogs’ will succeed in their revenge in the first match, a game against Japan.

MBC’s ‘Rookie Manager Kim Yeon-kyung 2’ is a desperate and passionate chronicle of the founding challenge by ‘Experienced Manager’ Kim Yeon-kyung and the ‘Must-Win Wonderdogs.’ From the tryouts aimed at ‘founding the eighth professional team’ to the departure ceremony, Manager Kim Yeon-kyung’s cool-headed evaluations and the players’ desperation to seize another opportunity delivered tension and immersion from the very first episode.

Having captured both ratings and buzz, MBC’s ‘Rookie Manager Kim Yeon-kyung 2’ has successfully opened Season 2, building anticipation for the unscripted matches and passionate team narrative that will unfold ahead. Attention is focused on what growth and moving moments Manager Kim Yeon-kyung and the ‘Must-Win Wonderdogs,’ who are now heading ‘beyond wonder’ after ‘from underdog to wonder,’ will show in the face of even greater challenges.

Meanwhile, in the second episode of MBC’s ‘Rookie Manager Kim Yeon-kyung 2,’ airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 18th, the Japan-Korea revenge match between the ‘Must-Win Wonderdogs’ and Japan’s Shujitsu High School will officially unfold.
