‘Hong Kim Dong-jeon’, which aired for 1 year and 6 months starting with ‘Hong Kim-dong Begins’ on July 14, 2022, attracted attention for its track record of showing ‘training to overcome fate’ as its title suggests.

The viewer ratings did not exceed the basic 1% range, except for 3% for the ‘1 Night 2 Days Special’ that revealed Hong Jin-kyung’s house, but BTS Jimin appeared in the ‘Dangerous Invitation’ episode and said, “I don’t watch entertainment, but I only watch this.”He raised the topic by certifying his favorite listeners.

Since then, it has been attracting attention day after day with entertainment that top stars visit first, such as Taeyang in the ‘Hong Kim Entertainment Picnic’ episode, Skiz in the ‘Star Wars Star Wars’ episode, and the entire 2PM group in ‘Beast Idol VS Beasts’ episode.

However, the reason for the popularity of ‘Hong Kim Dong-jeon’ was not the special guests. Rather, the special chemistry of the members of ‘Hong Kim-dong Jeonju Woo Se-ho’, who realized an equal 1/N entertainment without a single top, was the main factor that formed the fandom.

The five-member gang, consisting of Hong Jin-kyung, Kim Sook, Jo Se-ho, Joo Woo-jae, and Woo-young, centered on Hong Jin-kyung and Kim Sook’s two older sisters, and the activities of the three ‘older sisters’ of Jo Se-ho, Joo Woo-jae, and Woo-young led the topic in every episode.

Hong Jin-kyung, who celebrated her 30th debut anniversary, and Kim Sook, who truly shined in variety shows, did not spare a dress code that goes beyond imagination and body gags that do not disappear, and as the playgrounds opened by these older sisters pile up, the three younger brothers’ sense of humor reaches a new high every time. went. This kind of chemistry also made her debut with producer Rado and her project group Unbalance, and she became a hot topic with her song ‘NEVER’.

The members’ performance that exceeded the viewership ratings could not have been achieved without trust in the production team. The production team of ‘Hong Kim Dong-jeon’ surprised members and viewers with clever and novel ideas in every episode.
