• "2 Days & 1 Night" Without Kim Seon Ho Reached 12% In Viewership Ratings After Changed To A 5-Member System

    KBS2's '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4', which changed to a 5-member system, attracted attention by showing an upward trend in viewership.

    KBS2's '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' led the program with Yeon Jeong Hoon, Kim Jong Min, Moon Se Yoon, Dindin, and Ravi when Kim Seon Ho left last year due to controversy over privacy.

    '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4', which entered the five-member system, is steadily gaining popularity, ranking first in viewership ratings in the same time period.

    In particular, '1 Night 2 Days Season 4' gradually increased in viewer ratings, and the 108th episode aired on the 9th recorded the highest viewership rating of 12.8% so far.

    This is a relatively high figure compared to the ratings exceeding 8-10% when the 6 members were together.

    The program has recently maintained an average viewer rating of 11% to 12% while showing the stronger members' breathing and attractive entertainment characters from the eldest brother Yeon Jeong Hoon to the youngest Ravi.

    In addition, '1 Night 2 Days Season 4' recorded the highest viewership rating of 17% per minute in succession, showing the side of KBS's signature entertainment show.

    At the '2021 KBS Entertainment Awards', '1 Night 2 Days Season 4' also won the grand prize with 7 awards.

    The attention is focused on whether '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4', which is getting more and more fun with the chemistry of the members who have worked together for three years, can continue to maintain its popularity.

    Meanwhile, Kim Seon Ho was embroiled in a privacy controversy last October due to the revelation of his ex-girlfriend Ms. A.

    At that time, as the controversy did not subside easily, Kim Seon Ho got off from KBS2's '2 Days & 1 Night', which he was appearing in, and his upcoming films, 'Dog Days' and '2 O'Clock Date'.

  • Choi Si Hoon dragged into queer dating show drama—netizens claim he’s the shady CEO, fans beg Ailee to check

    Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

    Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

    The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

    “I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
    Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

    Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

    However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

    Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

    Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
    This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

    Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

    On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

    As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

    Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

    So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
