Every Sunday evening, a battle commences between the three national broadcasters - KBS, MBC, and SBS - with their heavy-hitting lineup of variety shows and programs, all aiming to draw as much as the highly-coveted Sunday evening viewership as possible.
KBS is currently trotting out a quality roster filled with '1 Night 2 Days' and 'Qualification of Men', while MBC is betting the table on 'I Am a Singer' and 'House Dream', an elimination challenge with a house as the grand prize. SBS is focusing its efforts on the currently high-flying 'Running Man' and its new program 'Diet Survival Victory', a Korean version of 'The Biggest Loser'.
So who won, and who lost on the latest edition of television gladiator?
Despite seeing a 4% drop over the past week, '1 Night 2 Days' maintained its position as the reigning king of Sunday variety with a whopping nationwide rating of 20.7%. Coming in second place was SBS's 'Running Man', which scored 13.2%, enough to secure its first place position in its timeslot. 'Qualification of Men' followed closely behind with 12.2% viewership.
MBC's 'I Am a Singer' seems to be continuing its pattern of roller-coaster ratings, depending on the content of the episodes. The latest performance episode drew 11.4%, a marked increase over last week's episode, which didn't show any performances.
Bringing up the rear were MBC's 'House Dream' and SBS's 'Diet Survival Victory', with crash-and-burn ratings of 3.6% and 3.2%, respectively.
