'Strong Heart League' viewer ratings trend down
Comedian Ji Seok-jin was selected as the 1st strong heart of SBS 'Strong Heart League'. The viewership rating was 2.4%, slightly down compared to last week (2.9%).

In the 'Strong Heart League', which aired on the 30th, Ji Suk-jin drew everyone's attention with the thumbnail, 'I cursed at the day I received the grand prize.' At the time, the glory of the '2022 SBS Entertainment Awards' went to Yoo Jae-seok of 'Running Man', and Ji Seok-jin, who was present with him, gave Yoo Jae-seok a 'congratulatory whisper' and made Yoo Jae-seok burst into laughter, arousing curiosity.

Ji Suk-jin said, “Weren’t there public opinions last year? There was talk of me or Tak Jae-hoon,” he said. “As the award ceremony progressed, the candidates I thought flew away one by one. Me, Tak Jae-hun, and Shin Dong-yeop remained, but Tak Jae-hoon was called as the winner of the PD award right before the grand prize. At that time, my hands were sweaty.”

Ji Seok-jin then said, “When I was presenting the grand prize, I saw the mouth of the head of SBS entertainment. It seemed to curl up a bit, and then he sang 'Yoo Jae-seok'. I put it into my ear and thought, 'As expected, Jaesuk put an end to my pain' and said, 'Congratulations. He said, ‘This dog XX,’” causing laughter. It was a possible greeting because the two were best friends among best friends. In Ji Seok-jin's candid talk, the 'strong heart' judges gave him a total of 12 votes and gave him the 'first strong heart'.

The talk of Park Ji-ah, an actress who became famous as Dong-eun's mother in 'The Glory', also touched the hearts of viewers. Regarding the thumbnail that she stepped on the Cannes red carpet before actress Jeon Do-yeon, Park Ji-ah said, “I was officially invited to the Cannes Film Festival in 2007 for the movie 'Breath'. It's embarrassing, but the screening schedule was earlier than the movie 'Secret Sunshine' starring Jeon Do-yeon."

He also mentioned his unknown days and said that he still receives pocket money from his mother. Park Ji-ah said, “My mother still takes care of my allowance. When it was very difficult, I went home on purpose to get pocket money.” He continued, “I gave you my allowance because it went well this time. He gave me back half of it, but it said 'You worked hard, daughter' on the envelope.”

The girl group Fifty Fifty chose 'Strong Heart League' as their first terrestrial entertainment show and revealed the behind-the-scenes story of entering the Billboard chart. Member Sana said, “The song ‘Cupid’ was introduced by a famous tick talker and became popular. ‘Cupid’ is not K-Pop. I keep humming it with a melody that is comfortable and addictive to listen to.”

In addition, 'heretic expert' Kim Kang-lim raised awareness of pseudo-religion, and 'drug expert' Kim Dae-gyu, head of the drug crime investigation team at the Gyeongnam Police Station, raised awareness about drugs.

In the third episode of 'League of Strong Heart' next week, the love story of actor Shim Hyung-tak, the return of Bove Girl, and the current situation of actor Shim Eun-ha, whom comedian Kim Young-cheol met, will be revealed.
