'I Live Alone' ranked first in overall entertainment viewership ratings in 2049 for two weeks in a row
MBC's entertainment program 'I Live Alone', which is entering its new heyday, showed its unrivaled presence by ranking first in 2049 viewership ratings among all entertainment programs broadcast in the fifth week of December 2022 following last week.

On 'I Live Alone', which aired on December 30, the second part of the '1st Palm Oil Seminar' by Jeon Hyun-moo, Park Na-rae, and Lee Jang-woo of the palm oil line made viewers' Fridays cheerful by providing endless laughter.

According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership rating research company, 'I Live Alone', which contains a full-scale seminar episode of Dr. Chewol's three Palm Oil siblings, ranked first among Friday entertainment programs, recording a peak viewership rating of 11% (based on the metropolitan area) and a household viewership rating of 9.7%.

In addition, the 2049 viewership rating, which is a key indicator for advertising officials and a key indicator of channel competitiveness, was 5.3% (based on the metropolitan area), ranking first among all Friday programs across dramas and entertainment. ‘I Live Alone’ continues its record of being the number one Friday entertainment program for 29 consecutive weeks.

As a result, 'I Live Alone' showed off its power by recording the highest 2049 weekly viewership ratings among all entertainment programs for two consecutive weeks following last week.

The best moment was the scene where the Palm Oil family, who ate a variety of foods until late at night, appeared the next day with swollen faces, and the viewership rating soared to 11%. Jeon Hyun-moo said, “What’s wrong? When asked, “Have you ever had a bee?” Na-rae Park replied, “I guess there are bees in Vietnam,” and responded, “The double eyelid surgery I had surgery on 10 years ago has loosened,” making everyone laugh. Lee Jang-woo also revealed a swelling comparable to that of Park Na-rae, making viewers laugh.

Palm Yuz, who won the Best Couple award chosen by viewers, showed off their harmony and unity when selecting the menu and happily immersed themselves in food, bringing laughter. Despite Park Na-rae's unexpected signal, Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Jang-woo showed their close friendship by moving quickly to find out the location of the bathroom, earning the envy of other Rainbow members.

Also, the three people bought various soy sauces and sauces at the supermarket, and Lee Jang-woo said, "When I travel with friends, I can't buy sauce like this," and "All three of us like palm oil, so we can buy it like that," drawing sympathy. Viewers showed great support and interest in Palm Oil Line's serious attitude toward food and the way they became less angry and happier the more they ate the food.

In the upcoming broadcast on the 6th, the 'Entertainment Awards Scene in Rainbow Members' who won 9 awards at the '2022 MBC Broadcasting Entertainment Awards' and the appearance of former Chairman Jeon Hyun-moo the day after winning the grand prize will be revealed.
