• "Crazy Love" Starring Krystal and Kim Jae Wook Premieres To Promising Viewership Ratings

    KBS 2TV's new Monday-Tuesday drama "Crazy Love" started with a rating of 3%.

    According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company on March 8th, the first episode of "Crazy Love", which aired at 9:30 pm the day before, recorded 3.4% in viewership.

    In the broadcast, Lee Shin Ah (Jung Su Jeong), the secretary of Noh Go Jin (Kim Jae Wook), the representative of high-top education, the No. 1 private education industry in Korea, was sentenced to death.

    Shin Ah, who has lived with headache medicine for a year under Noh Go Jin, who has a personality and perfectionist tendency, was diagnosed with a brain tumor at a health check-up and went to Noh Go Jin's house with a blunt weapon, heralding a reversal.

    "Crazy Love", which had a lot of expectations among viewers due to the meeting of Kim Jae Wook and Jung Su Jeong, gave laughter with its comic acting and directing, but also made it more fun to guess who was the person who sent the murder notice to Noh Go Jin for a long time.

    With the addition of "Crazy Love", the Monday-Tuesday drama started a three-way battle with SBS TV's "Business Proposal" and tvN's "Military Prosecutor Doberman".

    In a situation in which "Business Proposal" and "Military Prosecutor Doberman", which started broadcasting last week, first gathered viewers, the reaction to the latecomer "Crazy Love" is paying attention.

    On March 7th, "Business Proposal" recorded 8.1% and "Military Prosecutor Doberman"'s ratings were 7.2% (non-terrestrial paid households).

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
