• tvN’s “Our Blues” Surprisingly Drops 3% In Ratings After Episode 4, What Could Be The Reason?

    Our Blues has now aired for 6 episodes and in the latest developments, the drama has witnessed a significant drop in ratings compared to the highest record achieved by the series in episode 4, which is 9,182%.

    Specifically movie rating

    Nationwide/Urban Area:

    Episode 1: 7,324 / 8,107

    Episode 2: 8,736 / 10,189

    Episode 3: 7,897 / 9,022

    Episode 4: 9,182 / 10,064

    Episode 5: 7,126 / 7,233

    Episode 6: 7,722 / 7,870

    It's no exaggeration to say, Our Blues is the movie that gathers the biggest cast on the Korean screen in 2022.

    Right before the movie aired, the audience was "sure" that the rating of Our Blues would be "rare".

    Unfortunately, in the current situation, the number is not really positive with the reputation of the cast, so the rating has also dropped significantly. 

    Talking about this decline, many viewers think that because the story in episodes 5 - 6 revolves around two young actors who are not well-known in the profession, they cannot attract the audience.

    Others think that the script is not interesting, even outdated, and the fact that the stories are interrupted also makes many people uncomfortable.

    Audience comments:

    -The ratings aren't that bad but considering the reputation of the cast, it's bad

    • The content of the last 2 episodes is too old, the story of students falling in love, having sex, and having abortions is very old, the movie does not give any new perspective.
    • Personally, I find the drama quite boring, the last 2 episodes can't watch anymore, the first story is the best

    -I'm upset because the story suddenly jumps, Han Ji Min's story can't be solved

    -The rating is just a reflection of the reality of the drama, this week both the kids and the Lee Byung Hun couple's stories are boring

    Some viewers thought that because the main couple in episode 5 was not hot, the ratings dropped

    Our Blues airs every Saturday and Sunday on tvN.

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    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.
