According to Nielsen Korea, 'My Little Old Boy', which aired on the 1st, ranked first in Sunday entertainment in 2049 and household viewership ratings with a 2049 target audience rating of 5.1%, a household viewership rating of 13.2%, and a peak viewership rating of 16.9% per minute.
On this day, actor Shin Hyun-jun appeared and drew attention with a story about his late daughter. Shin Hyun-jun smiled and said, "I raised two sons and then got a daughter at the age of 54. It's so precious to me that I'm just thankful every day." Seo Jang-hoon, who was next to him, was delighted and said, “You are a role model,” making everyone laugh.
Shin Hyun-jun then confessed that he was very nervous before his daughter was born. “It was even more so because it was my daughter. I thought, ‘I hope my nose looks like my mother’s.’ My nieces and nephews all got surgery during vacation when they grew up. But fortunately, my youngest daughter’s nose doesn’t look like mine,” she said, making people laugh.
Seo Jang-hoon also mentioned that Shin Hyun-jun's theory of everything is floating around, saying, "There is a lot of resemblance because of the trademark nose." Shin Hyun-jun said, “The walrus is an animal that looks like me. And when there was a real-time search term, there was a time when it ranked first in real-time searches because of Zlatan, a soccer player who looked like him.” He then said that even the table handles on the airplane were mentioned as having a similar look, and made people burst into laughter by saying, "They even say that inanimate objects resemble each other."
On this day, Tak Jae-hoon, Kim Jun-ho, and Kim Jong-min competed to determine the 'Golf Throne'. Kim Jun-ho said, “I’m excited to beat you two,” and took off his rank insignia and provoked him by saying, “Let the loser kneel.” Tak Jae-hoon said, “I would like to suggest one thing. Here, the last place should get out of ‘My Little Old Boy’,” and mentioned the penalty of leaving ‘My Little Old Boy’ for the loser.
The three people who competed in a close competition on the field ended up with Kim Jun-ho taking first place, Kim Jong-min taking second place, and Tak Jae-hoon taking third place. Kim Jun-ho was thrilled and said, “It was really a drama without a script,” and Tak Jae-hoon had no choice but to leave the humiliation of kneeling in front of his younger siblings in the name of observing the situation, making them laugh.
Meanwhile, the best minute, which soared to 16.9% on this day, was taken by Lee Sang-min and Kim Jun-ho's Jirisan Ramen mukbang. Lee Sang-min and Kim Jun-ho attempted to climb Cheonwangbong Peak in Jiri Mountain with mountain leader Eom Hong-gil on the day of the coldest wave of the year. Kim Jun-ho complained from the beginning, saying, "We once walked around Jiri Mountain, but we gave up on that as well. I hope you know." However, Eom Hong-gil expressed confidence, saying, "If a leader controls the pace of his team members well, he can reach the top. Faith and trust are important, and who is the leader? Why do professionals exist?"
When the hike actually began, Kim Jun-ho revealed his poor physical strength within an hour, saying, “I feel like I have a cold,” and Lee Sang-min looked old and clearly showed signs of difficulty. While taking a break, Lee Sang-min took out the kimbap he brought from home, and Kim Jun-ho couldn't help but take out the thermos and cup ramen he brought with him to eat at Cheonwangbong Peak. Kim Jun-ho said, “This place seems to be worse than Hallasan Mountain. “I don’t think I can do it anymore,” he groaned, and in the scene of Lee Sang-min’s ramen mukbang, where he was barely able to eat it after Captain Um Hong-gil gave in, the score soared to 16.9%, making it the best minute of the day.
Continuing from last week, Super Junior was depicted at the year-end unity rally. First, we played the 'guess the choreography for 1 second' game, and the vocal-oriented team of Kim Hee-chul, Yesung, Choi Si-won, and Kyuhyun lost 3 to 1 to the choreographic-oriented team of Leeteuk, Donghae, Eunhyuk, and Ryeowook. Next, we played 'long-term curling', which had various penalties on the game board. Through this, Shindong's dark history photo was revealed in 'Reveal 1 member's dark history video saved on Donghae's cell phone', making everyone laugh. In addition, Shindong's current weight of '108.5 kg' was revealed to the world through 'Disclosure of Shindong's weight', and the members' actual heights were also revealed through Shindong's fraudulent(?) height gain, attracting attention.
