MBC’s iconic variety television show Home Alone has once again dominated the rankings for Variety Show Brand Reputation Index. In the November edition of the rankings released by the Korean Business Institute recently, the show has for the second consecutive month ranked first.
The index of the most popular variety television shows is formed by the Korean Business Institute by conducting an in-depth analysis of several factors such as consumer participation, interaction with the audience, media coverage, community awareness, and viewership index.
In the rankings, 50 popular variety shows over the course of a month have been shortlisted. The data for this analysis was collected between October 6 and November 6.
The reality show Home Alone gives viewers an up-close and personal look into the lives of their favorite celebrities as they go about their normal routines. Viewers are invited into the participants' homes, giving them the opportunity to examine the participants' daily lives more intimately.
