‘I Live Alone’ tops ratings as Kim Shin Young’s impact draws attention

MBC’s 'I Live Alone' has once again proven its dominance, ranking No. 1 in the key 20–54 demographic for the fifth week of April.

The May 1 broadcast recorded a 5.1% household rating in the Seoul metropolitan area and 3.3% in the 20–54 rating, placing first among all Friday variety shows as well as weekly entertainment programs.

The episode featured Jun Hyun Moo and the “Fun Run Crew” delivering comedic moments, with his fitness test scene peaking at 6.3%. Meanwhile, Ahn Jae Hyun drew attention for his heartfelt time with his 13-year-old cat, Anju, adding emotional depth to the episode.

The show had previously faced a dip in ratings following Park Na Rae’s departure in late 2025, but has since rebounded. Kim Shin Young has been credited as a key factor in the recovery, gaining attention for her strong presence as a panelist.

With its ratings on the rise again, ‘I Live Alone’ continues to solidify its position as a leading Friday night variety show.
