KBS announces position after petition appears over schedule change for ”Men Who Do Housework 2”: ”It was an unavoidable measure”... TV series starring Ma Dong Seok will be broadcast at current time

The variety show "Men Who Do Housework Season 2" has responded to viewers' petitions regarding changes to the programming.
In July, a viewer posted on the viewer message board on the official KBS homepage,
I am a devoted viewer of "Men Who Do Housework." Recently, I came across a report that the broadcast time of "Men Who Do Housework" may be adjusted to one hour later, and I expressed my deep concern and regret.
Currently, "Men Who Do Housework" is recording stable viewership ratings that are second among all variety shows, and is achieving great success. This is not due to simple luck.
Rather, I think it is a valuable result of the hard work of the cast and production staff who are dedicated to the show, and the loyal audience. The main audience of "Men Who Do Housework" is families and middle-aged and elderly people.
"There are many different demographics. It may be difficult for these people to watch TV late into the night, so if the broadcast time is delayed, there are concerns that they may drop out."
He continued, "Recently, the audience has expanded from people in their 20s to younger generations, and the current broadcasting time is designed to accommodate a variety of age groups.
Above all, singer Koo Ji-Sung has been actively promoting the show by encouraging viewers to watch "Men Who Do Housework" in real time at various stages and events.
Fans are also taking the initiative to promote the show in a variety of ways, such as hanging banners." "It's rare to see the cast and fans united in this way to support a show.
We sincerely ask the KBS production team to maintain the current broadcast time so that our efforts do not go to waste."
The petition received over 1,000 signatures, and KBS recently published a response.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the deep love and interest shown to us by our viewers," he said. "'Men Who Do Housework' is a program that has been loved by viewers for a long time, conveying the importance of family and heartwarming stories about everyday life.
As the listener said, KBS is well aware of the efforts of the cast and production staff, as well as the spontaneous support from fans for the show, and it is this combined enthusiasm that has led to the current success.
KBS fully sympathized with the concerns and feelings of distress, but added, "This adjustment is a strategic step for the competitiveness of KBS's channels as a whole."
"We ask for your understanding that this was an unavoidable measure due to the decision," the company said. "Even with the changed time, we hope that 'Men Doing Housework' will continue to deliver the same excitement and excitement that it already has."
The production team will make further efforts to ensure that viewers can enjoy the show. KBS will also work hard to find ways to reduce the inconvenience and regrets of viewers."
We ask for your continued interest and warm support for KBS programs, including "The Men Who Love You," and we would like to once again express our deepest gratitude to viewers for their valuable opinions."
