'Master in the House' Season 2 to Conclude This April
SBS delivered sad news to the public as the production team of the famous entertainment program "Master in the House" announced that the show will wrap up season 2 after the April 23 broadcast. Since the first episode was released on January 1, the second season has been airing for four months already.
Following the conclusion of Season 1 in September 2022, the production made a hiatus and spent three months reorganizing the show then made its comeback with a new season. In Season 2, GOT7's Bambam and Lee Dae Ho joined the cast to fill the vacancy left by its former host Lee Seung Gi.
Part of the reorganizing was changing the show's airing time from 6:20 p.m. to 5 p.m. (KST). However, "Master in the House" failed to maintain high ratings and kept having sluggish viewership ratings. Their 1 percent record is said to be the lowest performance among entertainment programs of the same broadcasting time.
