According to Nielsen Korea, the first episode of the reality TV show Apartment 404 aired on tvN on the evening of February 23, recording an average nationwide rating of 2.7%.
This is a fairly low starting rating, especially for a variety show that was expected before its launch like Apartment 404.
Since October last year, as soon as it introduced the participation of artists including Yoo Jae Suk, Cha Tae Hyun, Yang Se Chan, Oh Na Ra, Lee Jung Ha and Jennie (Blackpink), 304 Apartment has soon attracted public attention.
In particular, this is the first reality TV show Jennie participated in after she decided not to renew her individual contract with YG Entertainment and established her own company ODD ATELIER. Fans expect Jennie to have a successful show, thereby proving the singer's influence and reputation in many fields.
But it seems that 401 Apartment did not have a very smooth start. Under Allkpop's post, an audience member said that they left the show unfinished after the first 15 minutes because the developments were too slow and the introduction was too long.
Another viewer commented that the games in Apartment 404 are similar to recycling games of Running Man or How Do You Play.
However, there are also opinions that a starting rating of 2.7% for cable stations like tvN is not too bad. In addition, flat 404 is also a show that is receiving attention on the Tving streaming platform.
