Invincible Youth’s ratings drop

Invincible Youth

It seems like the power of the G7 is not working! The show Invincible Youth on KBS is not as popular as the girl groups starring in the program.

The show debuted with a viewer rating of 9.9% last week, but has dropped down to only 8.8% this week. I'm sure the fans of these girl groups are consistently showing their love for the girls by watching, but it seems as though they are not earning the love of Korea as a whole.

SBS program Honey airs during the same time slot and has successfully beat out Invincible Youth with an impressive rating of 10.9%.

Did the producers rely too much on girl power? Or is the concept of famous people going to live in the suburbs not original enough?

The ratings arn’t too bad. I think the show just needs more time.

They have the same girl groups on TV all the time. If they had 2NE1 or some other groups maybe the ratings wouldn’t have dropped. Besides, I’m not really a fan of girl groups. The only girl group I actually like a lot is 2NE1. Also, It seems too much like Family Outing, but not nearly as good (no offense).


Anyway, I wonder if the ratings will still go down or go up? only time will tell I guess…

xD… Poor KBS…
The G7 just can’t be as dorky as 2PM’s 7 boyz…. teehee…
Hope the show will be higher rating next week :D>.

To have high ratings for such shows, a very good mc like jae suk or ho dong like in FO or 1n2d is needed.
Depending on the girls can onli get fans to watch, not the whole population.

it’s sad- the shows really good- but honestly nothing compared to something like idol army- 2pm :D:D or something else along those lines- lets just hope that they add more man power to this- as there are not a lot of fan boys and a lot of fan girls- so—BRING IN MORE BOYS!!! we need them! only problem might be is that the girls may get anti’s O_O i cant wait for idol maknae rebellion!!! :D super excited

Idol group members aren’t funny enough. The initial ratings were only that high due to curiousity. If a program wants to last a long time it can’t rely on idols, as many shows have proven so far. Idols are too boring to attract viewers.

well, didn’t they learn from Family Outing? I mean if Family Outing has so many top stars on it and same concept and still has dropping rating, they should have taken the hint that the concept has been done already and people are tired of it….even if its hot girls *rolls eyes*

if they did it on the beach instead of the suburbs the ratings would skyrocket

Not original enough. Even though you have famous casts it will only take you so far.

Lol, yeah take them to the beach.

All the fangirls that keep on mentioning 2PM in every fucking article need to grow up and get a life. Seriously, we all feel bad about it, but quit BITCHING

Omg
I love this show
but yeah i think theres too many shows w/ girl groups on now

 
Leonis's avatar

The concept has already been done so many times, there’s really nothing new with their show.

I’m actually a little surprised by this.

I think it’s partly because we’ve already got two or three shows with the same basic premise, and most people (most, I’m saying) would agree that Family Outing is the best among them.

Personally, I’d love to see more variety shows like Love Letter or X-Man.  The couplings of male and female celebrities on Love Letter was interesting and hilarious.

Were we really surprised?
Then again, a lot of variety shows start off with low ratings. I mean just look at the popular ones now, FO, 1N2D.. who would have thunk(?) LOL

Isn’t 9.9% according to AGB ratings? Most people don’t rely on that for accuracy. AGB ratings usually seem lower than TNS ratings. So I’m guessing it’s even lower for TNS. 8.8% is average ratings for variety shows. Look at Star Golden Bell, so many guests and idols yet they still only get around ~10%. Honestly, I’m not making excuse for this show. I find it boring as hell, but that’s how it is for most variety shows.

i think the producers did rely to much on the girls and that they chose a bunch of wrong girls too. well some.

Bring in 2NE1 & Wonder Girls !!!!!!!!!!

i don’t know i kind of liked it. i really like GoHara on the show she seemed to be funny. i’m tired of seeing snsd though. i think we should wait until they get a little bit more chemistry together. But i think they also chose the wrong MCs for the show. i like the old guy (he’s like the hard ass dad) and kim tae woo (is like the soft older brother). but the short fat girl and the guy with the crazy eyes are really odd to me.

The show is boring…I watched them pick peppers…and gather lychees or something after massaging a 103 year old mans feet wtf?
- -
Maybe if they took the HMF route (after they stopped doing anything horror related) the show would be more successful. Have them do goofy ass challenges together…or at the least, interact more with each other. Oh and more Narsha…

Maybe they need more chemistry, or maybe they need more 4D girls.

¬¬. I agree with #26.

Yeah, Haven’t watched the epsiode so some may say that I have no right to comment but reading the articles and the promotions, I personally would find it a little boring of the same girls, same groups doing similar things every week.  It would be better to perhaps change the groups around or change the members of the different groups around so people who are fans of different members/ groups will possibly help boost the ratings up that way?

I tend to prefer seeing boy groups and bands doing this kind of variety shows.  As no, its not just because I’m a girl and that I’m biased.  I just think that Boys tend to be much funnier and much more carefree with their images.  They tend to do much more stupider things and dorky things while girls will be girls and will always be that little more cautious.

Yeah, they need for 4D characters-such as Kim Hyun Joon from SS501 who justs says random comments but are so funny!

 
GrandmaXD's avatar

if it was a hot boy group i’ll last all the way..
but hot girl groups only go so far

 
chyeahxamy's avatar

agree with 37.

 
rainbowpenguin's avatar

noooo, why? it seems as though Korean people are not as interested in there pop culture as say American’s or Filipinos are

 
no avatar

its NOT as fun. i mean all they do is work and help others, they dont really do any games nor do they do anything that is really funny. like, its not wat guys do u know. they’re girls, it’ll take time for them to “ruin” their image.

 
dainty_love's avatar

they should add a 2ne1 and a Wonder Girl member on the show. that would be interesting.

 
no avatar

Are 2PM fans the new 2NE1 fans? They’re fuckin’ annoying.
@KalexiS - Why would you suggest this show to follow the route of a show that got canceled because of low ratings anyway? It’s only 2 eps. I still enjoy the show and the show can still improve.

 
theoretically's avatar

It’s because there already shows that are doing this concept, only much better.
I think it would’ve been more interesting if they tried to do something different and used someone that we DON’T see fifty times a week.
