In MBC's 'Home Alone,' Yoo Seung-jae showcased the distinct tastes of a 'black fanatic' and flaunted his extraordinary charm. Consequently, the household rating recorded a peak of 6.6%, ranking first among all programs on Friday in the 2049 demographic.
On the 30th, MBC's 'Home Alone' (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Kim Jin-kyung, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Gi-young) revealed the 'cave house' of Yoo Seung-jae, who has lived alone for 8 years as a 'black fanatic.'
According to a rating survey company, Nielsen Korea, on the 31st, the household rating for the previous day's broadcast of 'Home Alone' was 5.6% based on the Seoul metropolitan area, ranking first in its time slot and among all variety programs on Friday. Additionally, the key 2049 rating, an important indicator for advertisers and a measure of channel competitiveness, was 3.3% (based on the Seoul metropolitan area), also ranking first in its time slot and among all programs on Friday.
The highest one-minute segment featured Yoo Seung-jae enjoying a satisfying first meal, his favorite menu item, 'pork cutlet,' in the dark (23:36), with a peak rating of 6.6%.
Yoo Seung-jae's home, where he has lived alone for eight years, caught attention as it was decorated entirely in black, including the floors, sofa, dining table, chairs, custom-made black furniture, refrigerator, and trash can. He noted, "I often work late into the night and sleep in the morning, so I've liked living in darkness for a long time. I thought, why not decorate the house itself in dark colors?"
Yoo Seung-jae's morning routine in the black-filled 'cave house' was also revealed. He humorously described himself as a bear living in a cave and spent some time turning on the TV and zoning out on the sofa, taking care of his health with a spoonful of honey. He then stated, "Lunch must definitely be pork cutlet," and enjoyed his first meal robustly with this soul food.
Yoo Seung-jae also attempted a self-interior renovation to turn the house's white walls and white air conditioner into 'black.' He even bought an electric drill to hang a black clock, drilling into the wall, while proudly showcasing his 'handyman DNA' as he applied black adhesive film to the air conditioner.
After sticking the black adhesive film entirely on the air conditioner, Yoo Seung-jae intended to cut it to shape, but when things didn't go as planned, he jumped up with the film, amusing viewers. Even if it wasn't perfect, his relentless determination to turn things 'black' drew admiration from the Rainbow Club members. However, a problem arose when the air conditioner's remote control stopped working, causing laughter.
Yoo Seung-jae expressed, "I have a variety of aspects to me. When 'red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet' all mix together, it's black(?). All my features are soon black," sharing his thoughts about his tastes. Kian84 humorously corrected him, noting, "When all combined, it turns gray," bringing more laughter. Although his preferences are distinct and not perfect, Yoo Seung-jae's willingness to do whatever he wants piqued Park Na-rae's curiosity, as she remarked, "He seems to be an extraordinary person," and viewers responded warmly to his unexpected charm.
