"I Live Alone" ranked first in overall genre integration for weekly 2049 ratings in the third week of October 2025.
The Oct. 17 broadcast of MBC variety show "I Live Alone" showed Kian84 visiting close friends Kim Chung-jae and Chimchakman to share his concerns, and Code Kunst trying to transform from a "nonplanning person" into a "planning person."
According to ratings research firm Nielsen Korea, the core 2049 rating for "I Live Alone" was 2.9% (metro area), ranking it first among all programs on Friday and first among all programs aired during the week.
The best one-minute moment was when Kian84 visited Chimchakman to talk about his concerns. Seeing Kian84 torn between painting and running, Chimchakman proposed a performance art that combined his outrageous actions with art and suggested as a solution "put paint on the soles of your feet and run!" — calling it "running painting" — which provoked laughter and pushed the peak household rating to 6.5%.
Kian84 showed he was worried because his main work of painting was not progressing as he wished. He confessed to being in a slump, saying he could not focus on painting because various activities that have become part of his life, such as broadcasting and running, distracted him. Kian84 met close friends Kim Chung-jae and Chimchakman, poured out his honest worries and stories, and drew much empathy with his sincere words.
Meanwhile, Code Kunst spent a day as a "planning person" to complete his album. He organized and attempted to carry out as many as 10 household chores by time, but he became increasingly pressed for time, and the chores piled up in an instant, leaving the house in disarray and prompting laughter. Heading to the studio, he immersed himself in music work and said, "I finished three songs that day. In the past I moved without setting times, but now I plan my time in detail and act accordingly," describing his changed lifestyle.
The Oct. 24 broadcast has been previewed as the "1st Pure-hearted fall sports day," with the "I Live Alone" rainbow members all-out, and their competitive spirit expected to produce spirited contests that even heavy rain could not stop.
