‘Book of the House of Gu’ faces stiff competition from ‘God of the Workplace’ in the battle for ratings

 

The competition to be the #1 Monday-Tuesday drama continues to rage on, and the latest episode MBC‘s ‘Book of the House of Gu‘ managed to beat out KBS 2TV‘s ‘God of the Workplace‘ again, but just by a hair.

 

According to AGB Nielsen Media Research, the May 7th broadcast of ‘Book of the House of Gu’ achieved a 14.4% viewer rating, which is a 1.0% decrease from its previous day’s rating of 15.4%, but still managed to edge out the competition.

 

‘God of the Workplace’ is definitely catching up though, gaining 14.0% viewer rating, which is only 0.4% shy of ‘Book of the House of Gu’, leaving viewers to wonder who will come out on top next week.

 

SBS‘s ‘Jang Ok Jung‘ came in last place with 8.0% viewer rating.

Andy showed his undying love for the group he produced, TEEN TOP!

 

On the May 8th installment of ‘Radio Star‘, Yoo Se Yoon pointed out, “You would go onto any kind of broadcast just to promote for TEEN TOP. There’s even a rumor that you’ll appear anywhere they promise to play their music video.” Even though everyone laughed, Yoon Jong Shin agreed, “Producers have to be like that!”

Even Yoo Se Yoon admitted, “I think this is a lot of effort.” In reply, Andy confessed, “To be honest, I hope TEEN TOP doesn’t watch this broadcast. I’ve lied to TEEN TOP before, telling them that I went on a promotional activity because it was requested.”

 

Then Yoo Se Yoon asked, “How far can you go for TEEN TOP?“. Andy then listed the various programs he’d gone on just to promote TEEN TOP. Junjin then joked, “Personally, I hope Andy does the same for our promotions this time around“, causing everyone to laugh and joke that he cared more about TEEN TOP than he did about Shinhwa.

Shinhwa claims Eric is addicted to cross dressing

 

The Shinhwa members had viewers cracking up with their entertaining episode of ’Radio Star‘ covering a variety of topics.

 

One topic that was brought up was the subject of cross dressing. Hyesung revealed, “When Eric is bored, he puts on a skirt and cross dresses. He even has a specific stocking color that he likes“.

 

As host Yoo Se Yoon joked about high heels, Junjin revealed, “[Eric] actually likes wearing high heels. They’re 285mm size [US shoe size 10.5].”

 

Eric tried to defend himself against his members’ attacks saying, “Honestly, I only started cross dressing because Minwoo kept telling me to during ‘Shinhwa Broadcast‘.” The other members admitted that Minwoo is very good at coaxing people into doing what he wants them to do.

 

Despite insisting that he’s not really into cross dressing, as soon as he was asked which color he liked best for stockings, Eric promptly answered, “I like black.“ And when Dongwan said, “But Eric’s legs are really pretty. Hyesung’s legs are pretty, too“, Eric chimed in, “My legs are prettier than Hyesung’s,” bringing laughs on set.
