• What Netizens Say About "Today's Webtoon" Extremely Low Viewership Ratings Despite Having Kim Sejeong

    Kim Sejeong and Nam Yoon Soo's "Today's Webtoon" on SBS is not gaining as much attention as anticipated.

    The sixth episode of "Today's Webtoon" on SBS, which aired on August 13th, received an average national rating of 2.8%, according to Nielsen Korea.

    This is not only the lowest rating for the drama, but also the lowest rating for a Friday-Saturday drama produced by SBS since February 2015.

    "Today's Webtoon" is declining in popularity despite the fact that Kim Sejeong, who became a "reliable actor" after achieving success in OCN's "The Uncanny Counter" and SBS's "Business Proposal", plays the major part.

    On August 20, a post about Today's Webtoon began trending on TheQoo's community board under the title, "SBS Friday-Saturday Drama On The Verge To Hit 1%".

    The netizen then listed the following ratings from Episode 1 to 8:

    Nationwide / Metropolitan Area

    Ep.1 4.1 / 4.0 ?️Best
    Ep.2 3.1 / 3.0
    Ep.3 3.6 / 3.6
    Ep.4 3.1 / 3.6
    Ep.5 3.4 / 3.7
    Ep.6 2.8 / ???
    Ep.7 2.5 / ???
    Ep.8 2.2 / ??? ?Lowest

    The netizen added, "It seems that the drama is not getting enough support from the original fans".

    Meanwhile, other netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

    It's really boring ㅠㅠ.

    The acting… Is not that really good.

    The story is interesting, but the actors don't stand out.

    It's fun, but the main male character is such a bad actor… I have no idea what he wants to say ㅠ I need subtitles.

    It's boring, the characters aren't very interesting, and neither is the acting.

    I thought this would be a home run because Kim Sejeong's last drama was a big hit.

    They really can't match the style of the original work.

    I can't watch the male lead or female lead act because it makes me cringe.

    I can't watch Kim Sejeong for very long because her acting is so fake.

    I'm not trying to say anything good about the Japanese version, but it's so dull.

    They made a new version based on the Japanese one and probably thought it would do well, but it's so stupid that I hope they stop….

    It's boring as hell

    They all act the same, which is boring.

    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.
