Sitcom “High Kick 2” sets another new high

MBC’s daily sitcom “High Kick 2” once again set a new record by reaching a viewership rating of 22.8 percent last night, according to TNS Media Korea on Friday.

The popularity of the sitcom had been picking up every week since its premiere in early September and more recently so, with the development of romantic relationships between characters.

Figures by AGB Nielsen Media Research also showed that more viewers are tuning into "High Kick", just a fifth of a percentage away from breaching ratings of 20 percent.

“High Kick 2,” a sequel of “High Kick 1” had continuously set high viewership rating records. The sitcom is not only liked by Korean viewers but it has been sold to SoNet, a Sony-affiliated Internet and television service provider in Japan for the highest price ever.
