With just two episodes remaining, crime-thriller 'Tunnel' recently set a new record in viewer's rating for cable channel OCN, despite skipping a week.

The May 14 broadcast recorded a peak 7.1% rating, and an average rating of 6.3%, marking OCN's highest rating in its history. The previous record was held by OCN's 'Voice' which recorded a 5.6% rating. Prior to the this, actor Choi Jin Hyuk commented during a press conference that the show 'will exceed 6%' which has come true. He responded to the great news with, "I had just mentioned that in order to encourage everyone to work hard.  It all feels like a dream.  I too have fallen for 'Tunnel', not as an actor but as a fellow viewer," expressing his desires to continue to present a high-quality project.
