SBS's Monday variety show 'Ain't That Real!' has seen a decline in ratings for the second consecutive week.

The episode aired on the 20th recorded a nationwide rating of 1.8%, a 0.4% drop from the previous week.

This episode featured comedian Lee Sang-jun, singer Dawn, BOYNEXTDOOR's Myung Jae-hyun, and actors Jang Keun-suk and Choi Daniel as guests. Notably, the show introduced a new segment called 'Suzy's Boarding House.' Lee Su-ji, playing the boarding house owner, captivated viewers with her realistic portrayal, humorously showing favoritism towards EXO's Kai.

Lee Sang-jun, Dawn, and Myung Jae-hyun delivered various episodes within the show's concept. Myung Jae-hyun surprised everyone by accurately referencing Tak Jae-hoon, saying, “Tak-sama, Espa Papa, Country Kko Kko.” He added, “My mom liked him. She went to the school next to his.” Tak Jae-hoon responded with a knowing smile, “Jae-hyun, I actually know your mom,” prompting Myung Jae-hyun to humorously say, "Dad, turn off the TV."

The cast continued with a skit guessing Myung Jae-hyun's mother's surname, to which he replied, "I won't answer anymore. Don't mess with my family," showcasing his unique variety show skills. Myung Jae-hyun also showed a firm stance on dating, while Tak Jae-hoon mentioned producer Zico, saying, “Didn't Zico date publicly?” referring to Zico's past relationship with Seolhyun. Myung Jae-hyun explained, “Zico meant for us to experience only good things,” but Tak Jae-hoon retorted, “What he experienced was good.”

In another segment, Jang Keun-suk was summoned for the 'crime' of loving himself too much, and Choi Daniel for 'celebrity impersonation.' Jang Keun-suk stated, “A man without bravado lacks guts,” and revealed he coined the term 'Asia Prince' for himself. He candidly shared a past relationship issue, saying, “My ex-girlfriend told me I couldn't be reformed, and I wondered why.”
