‘We Got Married’ suffers a ratings drop despite new couple

Even the appearance of a brand-new couple couldn’t stop the recent downward slide for MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘, which saw another precipitous drop in ratings for its latest episode.

According to AGB Nielson, ‘We Got Married’ recorded a nationwide rating of 6.0%, a drop of 0.3% from its previous week and a continuation of its recent trend of sliding viewership.

Although the newest episode saw the appearance of SHINee‘s Taemin and A Pink‘s Na Eun as the youngest-ever couple in the show’s history, they weren’t enough to stop the bleeding of viewers from the faux wedding variety program.

What should the show do to get higher ratings?

The newest idol couple to join ‘We Got Married 4‘ met for the first time on the April 27th episode.

SHINee‘s Taemin and A Pink‘s Na Eun definitely seemed shy and nervous to see their unknown partner, but they managed to spill their honest feelings during their first meeting.

During his solo interview, Taemin stated, “When A Pink first debuted, I pointed out Na Eun as the prettiest member. I saw her for the first time on Jeju Island, and it was like a painting,” while Na Eun revealed, “I think the first impression and meeting will be very memorable. He was so cute.”

Despite his young age and being the youngest member of SHINee, Taemin took the lead and tried to make Na Eun comfortable, surprising the studio with his forwardness. He frankly stated, “[You're] one of the ideal types I told the producers about,” which made the A Pink member a little flustered.
