What ratings were confirmed for Episode 57?
The ratings performance of ‘Teumsae,’ Episode 57 can be summarized as a metropolitan-area peak rating of 5.8%, a household rating of 3.6%, and a metropolitan-area 20–49 rating of 1.4%. Of these figures, 5.8% is the episode’s peak rating, while 3.6% is its household rating. Because the three figures are not single metrics measured on the same basis, they should not be read interchangeably.
The 20–49 rating of 1.4% also carries a metropolitan-area condition. Therefore, when describing this episode’s ratings, the metric and regional condition should be presented together, such as “a metropolitan-area peak rating of 5.8%,” “a household rating of 3.6%,” and “a metropolitan-area 20–49 rating of 1.4%.” In particular, describing 5.8% or 1.4% as a nationwide rating, or presenting the household rating as if it were the 20–49 rating, would not match the basis of the confirmed figures.
What does the same-time No. 1 ranking cover?
Episode 57 was publicly reported to rank first among all same-time variety, drama, and culture programs. This was not a comparison limited to the variety genre; it was a ranking calculated by considering variety, drama, and culture programs airing in the same time slot together.
The basis for the No. 1 ranking in the 20–49 metric should be considered separately. The 20–49 rating of 1.4% was reported as the top rating overall on Tuesday in the metropolitan area. Therefore, this result cannot be expanded into a nationwide No. 1 ranking, a No. 1 ranking among all viewers, or a result based on the same metric across every genre. The episode’s performance should be interpreted by attaching each relevant condition separately: the metropolitan area as the region, 20–49 as the viewer metric, and the same time slot as the comparison range.
What was Episode 57 about, and who appeared on it?
SBS’s official VOD page identifies Episode 57 as the broadcast that aired on September 8, 2026. The episode was introduced as “A Hongdae niche mission with Joo Woo-jae and John Park.” The central figures identified in the official episode description for the Hongdae mission are Joo Woo-jae and John Park.

SBS’s official article and public reports also confirm the appearances of Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Joo Woo-jae, and John Park. This is episode-cast information separate from the ratings ranking. Accordingly, Episode 57 should be described on the basis of the official VOD introduction about the Hongdae mission and the four confirmed cast members, without asserting that the cast itself caused the ratings result.
Who are the Teum Friends announced in the next-episode preview?
Seung-ho Yoo and Young K were previewed as the Teum Friends for the next episode. They are separate from Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Joo Woo-jae, and John Park, who appeared in Episode 57.
The key point in the currently confirmed follow-up information is the preview of Seung-ho Yoo and Young K as the next Teum Friends. The provided confirmation does not include the next episode’s air date, so no specific date can be added. Since Episode 57’s ratings record and the next-episode casting preview concern different episodes, it is accurate not to describe Seung-ho Yoo and Young K’s preview as part of Episode 57’s cast or performance.
