Low viewership rates mark the conclusion of JTBC’s In the Soop: Friendcation with Taehyung, Park Seo-jun, and Choi Woo-shik
BTS’s In the Soop has a spin-off called Friendcation. BTS members RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jimin, Taehyung alias V, and Jungkook appeared in the original. On the other hand, Taehyung and his Wooga Squad buddies Park Seo-joon, Peakboy, Choi Woo-shik, and Park Hyung-sik appear in the spin-off.
The audience gets to see their favorite stars throughout the series without the flash and glamour of being a part of the Korean entertainment industry.
Even though online video clips from the four-part series went viral, the show’s JTBC airing was not well received by viewers.
What were the ratings for In the Soop: Friendcation’s most recent episode?
In the Soop: Friendcation had a poor TRP at the end of its television broadcast despite having a large star cast. The episode, which aired on August 12, garnered 0.6% of the country’s total viewers, according to Neilsen South Korea. This is a decline from the 1.3% national rating for the first episode. The show has just four episodes, it should be noted.
A star-studded special series hasn’t always done poorly since its premiere. For instance, Sea Of Hope, a different JTBC music special show that even featured BLACKPINK idol Rose, did not fare well.
What happened in episode 4 of In the Soop: Friendcation to the cast members?
The five friends open up to the viewers more about their friendship in this episode, which was filmed in Gangwon-do Province. One of the memorable moments of In The Soop: Friendcation was when Taehyung revealed how he met Park Seo-joon. On the Hwarang sets in 2016, the former and latter crossed paths. He also met Park Hyung-shik at this time. Taehyung described in the show how he approached Park Seo-joon to find out more.
He had trouble playing his character because he was the actor on the set with the least acting experience. said Taehyung:
“Being a first-timer, I felt completely disoriented. When I told him that, he assisted me in selecting the appropriate feeling for each scene and voice-noted everything.”
Park Seo-joon clarified in response:
“V’s persistent questions showed that he was aware of his shortcomings, which made me grateful for him. I had never met somebody like that, but I could tell he was trying his best, so I just wanted to support him.”
Five of the show’s cast members skating on the ice rink was one of the episode’s other highlights. The cast occasionally expressed their admiration for Taehyung’s early morning presence. In truth, the BTS member tried to learn how to chop veggies with the help of Peak Boy, Choi Woo-shik, and Park Seo-jun.
