‘Seojin’s’ successfully opened its business and successfully entered Bacalar, Mexico.
The first episode of tvN's entertainment show 'Seojin', which aired for the first time on the 24th, got off to a good start by exceeding the average viewer rating of 10.3% and a maximum of 13.3% for households in the metropolitan area, and an average of 8.8% and a maximum of 11.4% for households nationwide. tvN's target audience rating for men and women in their 20s and 49s recorded an average of 4.7% in the metropolitan area, a high of 6.5%, a national average of 4.6%, and a high of 6%, ranking first in the same time slot for all channels, including terrestrial broadcasting, in both household and target viewership ratings based on the metropolitan area.
On this day's broadcast, the members' exciting first meeting and the ups and downs of opening a business unfolded. In particular, it was refreshing to see the opening process, which was full of crisis before welcoming the first customer, and the employees performing their duties in an orderly manner.
First, Lee Seo-jin, Jung Yu-mi, Park Seo-joon, and Choi Woo-sik, who gathered for the first time in a while before heading to Mexico, were delighted with PD Na Young-seok's proposal for a new entertainment show and cheered at the fact that Lee Seo-jin was the president. Then, when it was announced that they were selling Korean soul food snacks in Mexico, he looked excited and nervous at the same time.
As news of new intern BTS V's joining spread, the members' conversation turned to hierarchical order. Under Lee Seo-jin, who became the president, Jeong Yu-mi was promoted to registered director and Park Seo-joon was promoted to manager, but only Choi Woo-sik, who had no experience at 'Youn's Kitchen', was unable to get the intern title. A rough sketch of 'Seojin's House' was drawn under the leadership of novice president Lee Seojin, including a higher rank and thoroughly divided tasks.
The executives and employees of 'Seojin's' who arrived in Bacalar, Mexico, were mesmerized by the scenery of the jade-colored sea of the lake. The buildings built closely together in a small alley gave off an exotic atmosphere and made viewers feel like they were on a trip.
'Seojin's', who spent the first night preparing the ingredients for the menu they had worked so hard to learn in Korea, expressed difficulty with the order from owner Seojin Lee to finish preparations for business within two hours the next day. In response to the boss' tight work style, Manager Park Seo-joon cried at the change in Lee Seo-jin, saying, "The older brother I knew has become the boss."
Finally, on the first day of business, the executives and staff of ‘Seojin’s’ came to work dressed in matching uniforms and began preparing for business at a faster pace. Seojin Lee kept checking his watch as if he was nervous while watching the employees doing everything on their own, and then started nagging them. The unfamiliar behavior of new CEO Lee Seo-jin, who was clearly nervous, made viewers' mouths twitch.
The opening process was not easy, with difficulties preparing endless ingredients and feeling gloomy due to pouring showers. After a long wait, the first customer appeared, and the staff worked hard to prepare a delicious table for the guest. The situation of the kitchen staff secretly watching the customers' reactions made my mother smile. The executives and staff of 'Seojin's', who were taken aback by the looks of customers who seemed satisfied with the taste, soon received more customers and successfully completed the opening, which was like a ceremony to enter Bacalar.
On this day, 'Seojin's' showed the chemistry between Lee Seojin, the novice CEO, and the employees, making them quickly melt into their unique atmosphere. In particular, the quirky and honest nature of BTS's V, a new intern who caught Lee Seo-jin off guard, caused laughter and announced the birth of a perfect combination with great expectations for the future.
In addition, the delicious food prepared by the employees not only stimulated the mouth, but also showed a harmonious combination of the professionalism of Jung Yu-mi and Park Seo-joon, who showed their sincerity in preparing the food, and the hidden performance of BTS V, who played the role of the youngest member. It is expected that if intern Choi Woo-sik is added in the future, a fantastic employee Avengers will be created.
In addition, there were a variety of things to see, including the picturesque scenery of Bacalar, Mexico, the quiet and peaceful village atmosphere, and the cool, open interior of 'Seojin's', making it fun to watch. I look forward to seeing what kind of guests I will meet here in the future and what kind of experiences I will have.
The next story of ‘Seojin’ will be broadcast at 8:50 pm on March 3.
