SBS‘s variety show, ‘Running Man‘, has finally surpassed KBS‘s rival program ’Happy Sunday’ in ratings.
According to AGB Nielsen, the latest episode of the hide-and-seek variety show scored 18.0% in nationwide ratings, which edged out the 17.8% recorded for ‘Happy Sunday’.
‘Happy Sunday’ consists of two blocks, ‘Qualification of Men’ and ‘1 Night 2 Days‘, of which the former is in direct competition with ‘Running Man’.
While ‘Qualification of Men’ is a popular segment, it seems like it couldn’t stand up to the guest star on ‘Running Man’ this week. Son Ye Jin, who’s known to be a slightly reserved beauty, instantly sparked interest when it was revealed that she would be couple-bungee jumping with the ‘nation’s MC’, Yoo Jae Suk. Her energetic performance drew in the ratings and locked them in for the entire episode.
