Actor Yoon Kyung-ho keeps his word. to mark Manager Kim surpassing 13% in ratings, he will begin a "13-hour silent retreat."
On the 5th, OSEN reported that Yoon Kyung-ho will begin the silent retreat that was a ratings pledge for the SBS Friday-Saturday drama Manager Kim (written by Nam Dae-joong, directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun, planned by Studio S, produced by Studio S, Fantagio).
Yoon Kyung-ho's silent retreat will take place on the 13th. after appearing on the live broadcast of SBS PowerFM's "Escape at Two Cultwo Show," he will perform the silent retreat after the broadcast and continue filming content. Choi Dae-hoon and Son Naeun, who agreed to join the pledge, are also checking their schedules.
Earlier, Yoon Kyung-ho's pledge was mentioned at the production presentation. when asked about the desired ratings and the pledge, he said, "It would be a hit if we just pass 10%, but since So Jisub returned to SBS after 13 years, I will set 13% as the goal. if it exceeds 13%, I hope Manager Kim season 2 will be produced."
However, for season 2 there was a consensus that simply using it as a ratings pledge would be too limiting and that it needed to be a pledge the actors could fulfill. at that time Joo Sang-Wook suggested, "How about doing a silent retreat if it reaches 13%?" and Yoon Kyung-ho agreed, saying, "Then I will do a silent retreat for 13 days. no, I will do a silent retreat for 13 hours."
Yoon Kyung-ho kept this promise very quickly. Manager Kim started at 9.5% nationwide and 9.8% in the metropolitan area in the first episode, and recorded 15.7% nationwide and 15.9% in the metropolitan area in the second episode. the most recently aired fourth episode achieved 21.6% nationwide and 21.3% in the metropolitan area.
Yoon Kyung-ho said on social media that he would keep the ratings pledge, saying, "On reflection, the '13' in '13 hours' was intended to commemorate the return of hyung So Jisub to SBS after 13 years, but in the end I ended up pointing to myself. my wife's repeated warning to 'watch your mouth' finally hits me deep in my heart now," he said.
He continued, "to get straight to the point, I am really, really happy. knowing how high a wall the 13% rating is, it was a number that I secretly hoped for but hardly dared to aim for," and added, "as much as I want to start right now and practice the silent retreat for 13 hours with gratitude, I am currently on a family trip, so I will definitely take on the challenge as soon as I return," he pledged.
Ahead of the "13-hour silent retreat," a full teaser was released. in the released teaser, Yoon Kyung-ho said, "If this kind of meeting process is shown, people might think we prepared a bit," as he spoke with staff, and a staff member said, "We can't turn on the live stream today and do it continuously for 13 hours, can we? so this is a meeting to show how sincerely the 13 hours were filled and how we can present that."
In response, Yoon Kyung-ho said, "I understand," and "I sincerely thank the viewers. as I promised, if Manager Kim surpasses 13% in ratings, I will earnestly carry out the pledge to do a 13-hour silent retreat, so we had a meeting to seriously plan it. we will prepare well in a short period and faithfully fulfill the pledge. please watch over us," he said.
Yoon Kyung-ho's pledge is scheduled to take place on the 13th. the public is full of anticipation about how Yoon Kyung-ho's silent retreat will be revealed.
