The viewership power of ‘Around the World While I Was Born’, the program that gave Kian84 the 2023 MBC Entertainment Award, was once again proven. The latest episode recorded its highest viewer rating, recording 7.4% in the metropolitan area. In addition, it attracted attention by recording a viewership rating of 9.5% per minute, the highest of the previous season.

In particular, in this episode, eldest brother Lee Si-eon made a surprise appearance, enhancing the chemistry between the brothers. Lee Si-eon prepared a table of seaweed soup and japchae for his younger siblings, and the sight of the three brothers eating food filled with so much love from their older brother was heartwarming. The viewership ratings broke all-time records due to the close friendship of ‘Madagascar Death Penalty’, which finally became complete.

Mourning clothes also exploded. ‘Around the World’, which produced the Grand Prize, Rookie Award, and Best Couple Award at the 2023 MBC Entertainment Awards. The team was recognized overseas as well.

Kian84, who has said that Yeoju is his hometown on several occasions, filmed several times in a village in Heungcheon-myeon while appearing on ‘I Live Alone’, won the ‘2023 MBC Entertainment Awards’ and appeared on the ‘Around the World While I Was Born 3’ program, raising banners of support and congratulations. They visited Yeoju City and Heungcheon-myeon again after receiving a report that many of them had been caught.

There were not only good days for Kian84 during his broadcasting career. Sometimes, there was smoke coming out of the chimney and I was bombarded with negative comments due to my raw remarks. But in the end, his sincerity prevailed and the public accepted it. The secret to being loved by the public was the unique color he consistently revealed.

It has been less than a month since he received the entertainment grand prize. Nevertheless, there is no day when the gums are dry from the viewership ratings, topicality, and awards. This is why the energy of the grand prize has been cast for two consecutive years since the beginning of the year.
