MBC‘s entertainment show ’Good Day‘ swept the popularity rankings from its first week on air.

‘Good Day (directed by Kim Tae-ho)’ ranked 2nd in the TV-OTT non-drama category topicality survey for the 2nd week of February announced by Good Data Corporation FUNdex in just its first week of broadcast. It ranked 1st in the news category among the four categories that make up topicality, and also showed a strong presence by ranking 1st in the TV Sunday category.

‘Good Day’’s explosive firepower can also be seen in the cast category. Not only did ‘Good Day’‘s cast member G-Dragon take 1st place in the non-drama cast category, but Kim Soo-hyun and Jung Hyung-don ranked 7th and 11th, respectively, proving their high topicality.

In addition, the reunion video of G-Dragon, Jung Hyung-don, and Defconn, who met again at Dongmyo after 11 years, garnered 1.3 million views (as of the 18th). It is continuing its hot popularity, rising to the top of YouTube’s In-Geup-Dong (a video that is rapidly rising in popularity). Butterfly, which Kian84 mentioned during the broadcast that he enjoyed listening to, also ranked first in popular searches on Melon, the largest music platform in Korea. Along with this, G-Dragon and Big Bang also ranked first in Melon‘s popular searches, drawing attention.

‘Good Day’, which succeeded in capturing both viewership ratings and topicality, ranked first overall on Sunday in the 2049 viewership ratings, a key indicator that measures channel competitiveness and topicality, among all programs including dramas and entertainment shows. The best minute was the preview scene of ‘88 Nation’, a gathering of people born in 1988 of the same age, including G-Dragon, Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Hae-in, Im Si-wan, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Kwanghee, which soared to 6.2% in viewership ratings per minute.

In addition, On the OTT platform Disney+ (Plus), where ‘Good Day’ can be found, it immediately rose to the top of ‘Today‘s Korea TOP 10’ after its release, capturing the explosive interest of domestic subscribers.

The first episode on the 16th featured a meeting with the legendary lineup centered around G-Dragon, including Jung Hyung-don, Defconn, Code Kunst, and Jo Se-ho, as well as a story with his true fan Kian84 and actor Kim Soo-hyun, who was born in 1988 and is the same age. G-Dragon’s endless genuine laughter is spreading laughter to viewers and drawing favorable reviews.

MBC‘s ‘Good Day’ is a music project in which G-Dragon completes the song of the year with people from various fields, and is broadcast every Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
