"Better Late Than Single" has become a hot topic following its conclusion.
According to a report released on July 6 by Good Data Corporation, Netflix's "Better Late Than Single" ranked 2nd in the 5th week of July in the TV-OTT integrated non-drama sector.
The program has shown a significant increase in popularity for three consecutive weeks since its release. Additionally, cast members Ha Jeong-mok and Park Ji-yeon ranked 3rd and 5th, respectively, in the popularity ranking for participants. There was also attention on whether the final couple would stay together, but Jeong-mok announced his breakup with Ji-yeon along with his feelings about the show's conclusion.
Compared to the popularity of Netflix's other dating shows "Single's Inferno 3" and "Single's Inferno 4" up to the 4th week, the score of "Better Late Than Single" in the 4th week has shown the highest popularity. The growth rate compared to the first week after its release is also 381.3%, showing a significant difference from "Single's Inferno 3" at -28.2% and "Single's Inferno 4" at 43.5%.
A researcher from Good Data Corporation, Oh Yoo-sun, noted, "While a 'motaesolo' has appeared in previous dating programs, the way 'Better Late Than Single' depicts a 'motaesolo' has clear distinctions from other shows," adding, "The naive nature of the 'motaesolo' is retained, but the makeover shows a transformation and growth, which seems to have made it even more of a topic."
Meanwhile, the non-drama with the highest popularity was Mnet's "Boys Planet," which has ranked 1st for three consecutive weeks.
In 3rd place was TVING's "The Great Escape: The Story," which saw a slight increase in popularity compared to the previous week. Positions 4th to 6th were occupied by ENA/SBS Plus's "I Am SOLO," MBC's "Home Alone," and SBS's "Running Man," respectively.
In 7th place was KBS2's "The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile," which achieved the highest rating during the week of its conclusion. Positions 8th to 10th were held by MBC's "How Do You Play?", KBS2's "Home Alone," and MBC's "Omniscient Interfering View."
