A viral meme that leads to sold-out shows Following “Mouse Lola,” Hong Lola’s video hits 5 million views!
The all-time legendary show musical KINKY BOOTS THE MUSICAL, which reached its 10th anniversary this year, is achieving sell-out records. CJ ENM has participated in the planning and development stage of KINKY BOOTS, and it has achieved significant accomplishments, such as winning six Tony Awards. It stays strong even after ten years, ranking first in the Domestic Musical Trend Index with a total audience count of over 500,000. Thanks to the tremendous buzz generated by the birthday cafés and mini-concerts to celebrate its 10th anniversary, it stirred the hearts of many musical fans, causing the “Kinky fever”.
I became interested in musicals thanks to short-form content and challenges!
“And like Shazam! And Bam!” Even if you haven’t watched the musical yet, you must've heard this through short-form content. It’s the video of “Mouse Lola,” which hit 7 million views. Comedian Lee Chang-ho’s addictive parody of the musical’s signature number, “Land of Lola," spread among people and became a meme.
Not to mention Mouse Lola’s “Land of Lola” performance, the exceptional lineup for this season’s Lola is drawing a lot of attention. There’s Kang Hong-seok’s version of “Hong Lola,” who makes us think if Lola were a real-life character, she’d look like this, and Seo Kyeong-su’s version of “Kyeong Lola,” who sets new records every season. It’s hard to decide on a version, so make sure to watch it more than once!
It's On Fire, From Hardcore Stans to Light Fans!
To mark the 10th anniversary of KINKY BOOTS THE MUSICAL, the entire cast who have written the history together has participated in showcasing a 150-minute-long festival-like performance. Having captivated the hearts of the musical core fandoms and light fans, the Kinky Revolution will continue forever. “Everybody say, ‘Yeah!’”

Highest Viewership Rating
When the cast is at ease, the viewers are as well
Easily ranked first among all shows in the same time slot
The famous series Three Meals a Day, a long-time beloved show that took place across the country, has returned fresher and lighter as Three Meals a Day Light to mark its tenth anniversary. The first episode hit an average viewership rating of 11.7% and the highest of 14.2% in the metropolitan area, achieving the highest ratings among all shows across all channels in the same time slot, including over-the-air channels. Cha Seung-won and Yoo Hae-jin’s chemistry exploded when Lim Young-woong, the “viewership rating booster,” visited them. More special guests are expected to join them, adding anticipation to the show.
I liked the characters, who were so genuine even after ten years!
Even without a dopamine rush or a provocative setting, you’ll find yourself smiling as you watch the duo. It’s Chef Cha and “Mr. Real Sea,” the duo who’s been on the show for ten years now. The two seem like they’re far from being compatible in terms of style and personality, but when they bicker as they cook or clean, they remind us of an old couple.
In the first episode of Three Meals a Day Light, Cha Seung-won became angry when he found out that Yoo Hae-jin secretly added kimchi into the gochujang jjigae and looked like they were an actual middle-aged couple. It was heartwarming and fun to watch Yoo Hae-jin trying to make up for his mistake, handing Seung-won a cool glass of makgeolli as a way to apologize.
Won the hearts of Gen X and Gen Z
#VarietyShowWithMomAndDad
When the Three Meals a Day series first started, it attracted much interest because it aligned with the rural life trend. But now, it’s important to note that it’s one of the very few entertainment shows that Gen Z can enjoy with their parents. Special guests like “Lim Young-woong” added freshness to the light, simple, and calming charms of Three Meals a Day, and it has become the number-one show to sit down and watch with Mom and Dad.

Most Buzzworthy Person
Synergy created by shifting between two extreme characters
Heading towards the 10 million viewer mark with buzz
Jung Hae-in stepped foot in his first-ever romance comedy role through the tvN drama Love Next Door. With enthusiastic support from Gen Z, it topped first in viewership ratings and recorded high buzz scores. In the movie I, the Executioner, Jung Hae-in appears as a creepy villain, a starkly different character from the “Mr. Perfect” character he depicts in Love Next Door. Succeeding the fame of its prequel, which recorded 13M viewers, it’s continuing its journey towards the 10M milestone. It premiered globally at film festivals including the Cannes Festival, and tt even earned a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Uprightness VS Madness, Finding the Actor’s “Personal Color”
“Seung-hyo,” the textbook Mr. Right, who makes our hearts flutter with a perfect visual, is the rising star in the architecture scene in Korea. However, only one person can make him grumpy and flustered. That’s “Seok-ryu,” the daughter of his mother’s friend. Whenever Seung-hyo revealed his feelings for Seok-ryu the viewership rating skyrocketed.
While Jung Hae-in melted the hearts of Gen Z in Love Next Door with his pure and innocent charms, he unleashed completely different charms in I, the Executioner. Officer Park Sun-woo, played by Jung Hae-in, is a complicated vigilante villain who shifts between good and evil, unlike the one-dimensional absolute evil and is getting reviews that he’s an unfamiliar yet intense character.
Living A Double Life: Choi Seung-hyo in the day, Park Sun-woo in the night
At the center of I, the Executioner, which received a standing ovation at the 77th Cannes Festival and is now sweeping the theaters, and the sweet and therapeutic romance comedy, Love Next Door, is Jung Hae-in. The two opposite characters are blowing our minds at the same time: the Mr. Perfect character, which maximizes his existing pure and innocent image, and the extreme character, which maximizes the unexpectedness through the “fighter villain.”
