Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in get married in just 3 days

SBS's entertainment show 'All The Butlers' ends after about four months with poor results and the 'humiliating' title of being last in viewership ratings in its time slot. The production team of 'All The Butlers', which said they would wait for Lee Seung-gi, announced the sad news three days after Lee Seung-gi's wedding to Lee Da-in.

According to SBS on the 10th, 'All The Butlers' will conclude Season 2 with its broadcast on the 23rd. It has been about four months since Season 2 aired on January 1st.

‘All the Butlers’ is a program that deals with the life tutoring of eccentric masters. After season 1 ended in September last year, it returned with a new season after a reorganization period of about 3 months. In Season 2, Lee Seung-gi, who declined to join, was replaced by Lee Dae-ho and GOT7's BamBam.

'All The Butlers', which changed its programming time from 6:20 PM to 5 PM, performed poorly from the first episode of Season 2, recording a viewership rating of around 1%. This was the lowest figure among entertainment shows within the same time period. On the contrary, 'Running Man', which was moved to the existing 'Master in the House' slot, led to an increase in viewership ratings.

The highest viewership rating in 'All The Butlers' was the soccer coach Park Hang-seo episode, which was 2.6%. At its lowest, it fell to 1.1%.

Accordingly, SBS decided to end the show after four months of broadcast. SBS said, "No decision has been made regarding season 3 or a follow-up program. We are not planning season 3 yet, and you can view it as the end of season 2."

The reputation of 'All The Butlers', which once surpassed 10% in viewership ratings as SBS' flagship entertainment show, has long been forgotten. Was the absence of Lee Seung-gi, the leader of 'All The Butlers' and the winner of the SBS Entertainment Awards for 'All The Butlers', a big blow? Was the problem due to the lack of material and lack of chemistry between the new members? The end of 'All The Butlers', which has been running since 2017, comes with a bittersweet feeling.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung-gi, who declined to join Season 2, announced the news of appearing in other entertainment programs such as 'Strong Heart League' (working title) and 'Brother Ramen'. On the 7th, I tied the knot with actor Lee Da-in.
