tvN's entertainment show 'Boop Boop Earth Arcade 2' showed off its potential as a trustworthy entertainment program from its first broadcast.
'Boop Boop Earth Arcade 2', which first aired on the 12th, met viewers' expectations with the unstoppable high tension and upgraded chemistry of Earth warriors Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin, who returned to the drama kingdom worldview. The unpredictable entertainment sense of not knowing where the warriors will go made me look forward to their future activities even more.
The viewership rating for the first episode of 'Boop Boop Earth Arcade 2' exceeded an average of 4.0% and a high of 5.0% for households in the metropolitan area, and an average of 3.5% and a high of 4.7% for households nationwide, marking a good start by ranking first in the same time slot, including comprehensive cable channels. tvN's target audience rating for men and women in their 20s and 49s was an average of 2.6% in the metropolitan area, a high of 3.2%, a national average of 2.5%, and a high of 3.3%, ranking first in the same time slot for all channels, including terrestrial channels.
On this day's broadcast, Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin gathered together to celebrate the programming of Season 2. Those who were happy about going to Frozen Finland were given 'Coffee Prince's 1st Store', 'SKY Castle', 'Boys Over Flowers', and 'Goblin' as works to dress up as drama royal characters, as befits Korea, a drama kingdom. We each talked about the character we wanted.
The random play dance solo exhibition, held for the first time in history to determine the order of character selection, was a lot of fun. While not a single person was eliminated until the third round, Lee Eun-ji, who coveted 'Goblin''s Park Joong-heon, was eliminated in the fourth round, causing laughter by asking, "Please don't take it away, it's a disaster."
In the 6th round, Lee Young-ji was suddenly eliminated after hitting a 'hyeon-tae' (reality awareness time), causing laughter. Lee Young-ji, who was dancing, faced the faces of the production crew who were watching her and 'Hyeon-ta' came to her and remained frozen in place, making only crackling laughter. Afterwards, in the random play dance that lasted until the 8th round, An Yu-jin defeated Mimi and won.
Ahn Yu-jin chose Go Eun-chan from 'Coffee Prince's 1st Branch', Mimi chose Kim Joo-young from 'SKY Castle', Lee Young-ji chose Gu Jun-pyo from 'Boys Over Flowers', and after much deliberation, Lee Eun-ji chose Ji Eun-tak from 'Goblin'. A week later, the four people who met in Sangam-dong, Drama Kingdom, each appeared as the drama character they had chosen. Among them, An Yu-jin not only boasts a visual that is highly synchronized with Go Eun-chan, but also showed off her sense of parodying the scene where chestnuts fall on the road using pine cones.
Arriving in Finland as their first adventure destination, they played the 'Tell Me in a Line' game to eat Finnish home-cooked food, and with their hilarious wrong answers and tiki-taka, they became the clowns of those who showed off. Despite several opportunities to try again, the third food was missed due to a parade of wrong answers, and the wait for the name of the tree for the fourth food began. They had to leave out the pine tree and the ginkgo tree, but when Lee Young-ji failed by saying the ginkgo tree, Mimi shamelessly said, “We didn’t hear that,” causing a sea of laughter.
In addition, at the end of every round, Mimi was given a final chance to win food by saying three words ending in 'dang'. In response, Mimi devastated the scene with an unexpected answer and obtained food.
‘Pung Pung Earth Arcade 2’ airs every Friday at 8:40 PM.
