Just two weeks into its broadcast, KBS’s “Immortal Song 2” met with a sharp drop in viewer ratings, placing last for its time slot overall.
According to AGB Nielsen Media Research, the show’s newest episode received 6.0% in viewer ratings, a 1.9% drop compared to the last episode, which received 7.9%. The episode saw the departure of artist IU and the addition of SECRET’s Ji Eun.
Other shows within the same time slot, MBC’s “Infinity Challenge“, MBC’s “We Got Married“, and SBS’s “Star King“, both received higher views, at 15.4%, 8.5% and 9.8%, respectively.
PD Kwon Jae Young stated that he had expected the drop beforehand, “The first episode aimed to show what kind of program ‘Immortal Song 2′ was so we made the episode longer than normal. For the second episode, we wanted to show more about the preparation process the singers were going through, so we expected the drop in viewer ratings. We won’t be paying any concern to the viewer ratings and will continue to show what we have as planned.”

Not suprised. People only watch for their favorite idol and could care less about the others. And most people want Oh My School back

I think you'll be paying concern when your show gets cancelled . . .

Date: 2011-06-12 08:52 pm (UTC)I love music & I enjoy listening to beautiful voices whoever the artist is & though Yesung is the reason why I was first interested in this show, I'm gonna still watch it
We won’t be paying any concern to the viewer ratings and will continue to show what we have as planned.
fighting Mr PD! but I know the cruel reality of ratings will probably/evetually make you do otherwise

Date: 2011-06-12 09:05 pm (UTC)My biggest concern for this show is that it seems to require a whole lot of preparation. But at the same time, that's part of what makes it such a great watch.
And I think part of what makes this show more enjoyable for me is that I was mostly only interested in OMS when people I cared about were on, whereas regardless of whether my biases are on Immortal Song or not, I'm excited to hear the music.
Although, I do have to admit I was hoping Yoseob would stay on longer...
So there could be more Yoseob/Jieun...no subject
