A new episode of 'Ssul Jeon' aired on December 26 and this time, they talked about variety programs.


Heechul talked about the secret to the successful viewer ratings of MBC's 'Real Men.'  He pointed out how the viewer rating would increase whenever they had a female narrator.  When IU was the narrator, the rating was at an impressive 18.8%. It was 17.4% for Suzy, 17.8% for singer Park Ji Yoon, and 17.5% for Kim Sung Ryul. On the other hand, the show achieved lower ratings of 13.2% when Baek Chul Soo narrated and 12.6% for Kang Suk Woo.


Heechul said, "One ambiguous part is when singer Lee Eun Mi narrated, the show got 14.5%, which is in-between the two extremes.  Maybe because her voice is rough."

Fellow cast member Park Ji Yoon suggested that this disparity may be due in part to 'Real Men' having a dominantly male audience.
