TV Viewership Ratings:
"SungKyunKwan Scandal"
Breaks Through 10%


KBS2's Monday/Tuesday drama [SungKyunKwan Scandal] has finally hit the double digits for the viewership ratings.

The episode of [SungKyunKwan Scandal] released on the 28th increased by 1% from the previous day's episode, to achieve nationwide ratings of 10.2% (according to AGB Nielson's media research on the 29th), which makes it the first time the drama broke through 10% since it started airing on 30 August.

[SungKyunKwan Scandal], which started airing after [My Girlfriend is a Gumiho] began airing, faced a lot of pressure as it had the same broadcasting time slot as MBC's [Dong Yi] and SBS's [Giant], only recording a rating of 6.3% for its first episode.

However, with a group of young actors as the cast, like TVXQ's Yoochun, Song Joongki, Yoo Ah In, Park Minyoung and Jeon Tae Su, the drama has attracted viewers who are in their 10-20s, causing the ratings to increase and finally hit the double digits, preparing to catch up with [Dong Yi] and [Giant].

On the other hand, [Dong Yi] maintained its 24.4% rating from the previous day, while [Giant] climbed 0.8% from the previous day to record a rating of 23.1%, resulting in a close contest for the #1 position for Monday/Tuesday dramas.
