Chun-gil makes history with second consecutive Golden Cup win

Singer Chun-gil secured the third Golden Cup on the 6th during the 44th episode of 'Golden Friday' after earning 10 golden stars. Despite Kim Yong-bin and Nam Seung-min both scoring 100 points, Chun-gil became the first person to achieve two consecutive wins in the program's history.

Singer Chun-gil has achieved the first consecutive two-time Golden Cup win in the history of the TV CHOSUN variety program 'Golden Friday'. During the 44th episode broadcast on the 6th, Chun-gil secured 10 golden stars to become the owner of the 3rd Golden Cup.

Song Ga-in appeared as the Golden Star in this episode. Amidst a fierce competition between winner Kim Yong-bin, runner-up Cheon Rok-dam, and Chun-gil, Chun-gil selected 'The Moon of Seoul' by Song Ga-in and received 96 points, defeating Son Bin-a. Although Kim Yong-bin and Nam Seung-min both received 100 points, Kim Yong-bin failed to obtain golden stars after spinning a 'loss' on the roulette, and Nam Seung-min also failed to stage a comeback.

In the final confrontation, Yang Ji-eun and Cheon Rok-dam both recorded 96 points, resulting in no additional golden stars being awarded. Consequently, Chun-gil took home the 3rd Golden Cup following his previous win as the 2nd holder.

The broadcast recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 3.9%, with a peak rating of 4.3%, ranking first in daily viewership ratings among general programming and cable programs. Next week, the Wildcard Squad episode will be broadcast.
