'In The SOOP: Friendcation' is off to a strong start after its first episode garnered favorable reviews and debuted high across several Disney+ territories.
The travel variety program stars the 'Wooga Squad' members Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, actors Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik, Park Hyung Sik, and singer-producer Peakboy. The show provides a deeper look at the close friendship between the five guys, which has endured for nearly a decade.
According to the Korea Communications Commission's broadcast content value information analysis system RACOI, Taehyung ranks at #10 in the category of "Male Entertainment Performer Rankings" with 57 points after less than three days of tracking.
The data was collected between July 18 to 24, and after 'In The SOOP: Friendcation' aired on July 22, V (#뷔) rose to 10th place among male entertainers in South Korea, based on searches and mentions.
The RACOI rating system is considered the most reputable ranking chart for actors and entertainers and reflects the public interest in a particular celebrity. It estimates broadcast program contents based on viewing rates combined with viewers' responses from social media activity.
Taehyung was the only cast member to enter the Top 15 rankings after his maknae charms in the show won hearts. Many male cast members from other well-known variety programs have yet to make it to the list, much less the Top 10. For Taehyung to rank high shows public interest and a promising glimpse into his future in the acting and film industries.
