Actors Lee JunHo and Kim MinHa have announced an exciting and personal viewership ratings promise for their new K-drama, “Taepung Corporation”. During a live broadcast on October 27, 2025, on the YouTube channel Channel 15ya, Lee JunHo revealed a special two-part pledge to celebrate the drama’s potential success, sparking considerable buzz among fans.
A Two-Tiered Ratings Promise
The commitment, made during a conversation with famed producer Na YoungSeok, involves the cast directly engaging with the public in a unique way if the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama achieves specific viewership milestones. This creative ratings promise aims to thank viewers for their support in a memorable fashion.
The 15% Viewership Rating Goal
For the first tier, Lee JunHo pledged that if “Taepung Corporation” surpasses a 15% viewership rating, the cast and staff will take to the Seoul subway. He specified that he and his co-star, Kim MinHa, would personally hand out flowers to citizens traveling on Line 1. Producer Na YoungSeok, who was hosting the broadcast, predicted this milestone could be reached as early as November 15, 2025, and offered to help coordinate the event should the ratings soar.
The Ambitious 20% Viewership Rating Challenge
Taking the promise a step further, Lee JunHo detailed a second goal. If the K-drama’s viewership ratings break the impressive 20% barrier, the event will include a special musical performance. While handing out flowers, Lee JunHo will sing the drama’s official soundtrack (OST) titled “Did You See The Rainbow?”, and Kim MinHa will perform another OST, “Eternity”. Na YoungSeok humorously suggested that this grander event might be better suited for the bustling Seoul Subway Line 2, adding to the excitement.
Fan Excitement and the Importance of Ratings
The announcement has been met with enthusiastic reactions online, with fans eagerly anticipating the drama’s premiere and the potential fulfillment of the ratings promise. Such public commitments have become a popular way for actors to connect with their audience and build anticipation for new projects. The discussion highlights how viewership ratings for new dramas remain a critical measure of success in the competitive K-drama landscape. With a compelling story and beloved stars like Lee JunHo and Kim MinHa, all eyes are on “Taepung Corporation” to see if it can achieve the numbers needed to bring this subway serenade to life.
