JTBC's weekend drama 'King the Land' has witnessed a significant surge in ratings, according to Nielsen Korea.

The second episode, which aired on June 18th, garnered a nationwide paid broadcast household rating of 7.544%.

This impressive figure indicates a notable increase of over 2 percentage points (P) compared to the 5.075% rating of the first episode.

The burning question now revolves around whether this positive upward trend in ratings can be sustained in the long run.

Featuring Lee Junho and Yoona in lead roles, 'King the Land' revolves around the story of Guwon, a man who disregards laughter, and Cheon Sarang, a smile queen who must maintain a perpetual smile.

Together, they strive to bring genuine laughter to the coveted VVIP lounge, 'King the Land,' which serves as a dream destination for hoteliers.

In the latest episode, viewers were captivated by the blossoming excitement between Guwon (played by Lee Junho) and Cheon Sarang (played by Yoona). Their chemistry added a new layer of intrigue to the series.

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'The Real Has Come!' achieved an impressive nationwide household rating of 20.2% for its 26th episode.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
