Secret Audience Ratings Surge

Actress Shin Hye-sun will appear on the tvN entertainment program 'You Quiz on the Block' to discuss her recently popular drama 'Secret Audit'. Shin Hye-sun will reunite with host Yoo Jae-suk after three years, and following her appearance in 2023 where she garnered attention for her unpretentious wit, she is expected to showcase her honest and diverse charms once again. Introduced as a "​box office guaranteed actress" in the preview video, Shin Hye-sun elicited laughter by saying she hasn't gotten used to reuniting with Yoo Jae-suk and asked for time to adjust.

On the broadcast, Shin Hye-sun honestly admitted she doesn't know much about recent K-pop, but then revealed a behind-the-scenes story from a 'Secret Audit' drama dinner scene, making Yoo Jae-suk burst into laughter. She also showcased her candid speaking style by sharing the pressure she felt and the difficulties she had portraying her character during her appearance in the Netflix original series '​Lady Doua', a thriller genre. Shin Hye-sun and Yoo Jae-suk also found common ground by sharing their experiences with the past popular snacks 'Dubai Jjondok Cookie' (Djjok) and 'Butter Rice Cake'.

Meanwhile, Shin Hye-sun is currently showing a new charm in the tvN drama 'Secret Audit', playing a character with comedic elements. She is being praised for expanding her acting spectrum by consecutively appearing in works with different atmospheres. Through the drama '​Secret Audit', she has been receiving positive reactions from the beginning of the broadcast, leading the upward trend with ratings of 6.3% within just two episodes.

In the third episode of the drama 'Secret Audit', No Gijoon (played by Gong Myung) began an '​intimate audit' of Joo In-ah (played by Shin Hye-sun), simultaneously presenting cracks in their relationship and a twist. Although the investigation began to exploit her weaknesses, Joo In-ah's unexpected daily life and attitude instead swayed No Gijoon's gaze. This episode recorded an average viewership rating of 5.0% and a peak of 6.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, maintaining its number one position in its time slot. The 2049 target viewership rating also ranked first for two consecutive weeks.

The office rumor incident heightened the drama's tension. The company fell into chaos as rumors spread about the relationship between Team Leader Mu Gwang-il and a cafeteria employee, and it was even revealed that the HR department had fanned the flames. Joo In-ah, following protocol, disciplined Mu Gwang-il, but the audit team 3 protested and took collective leave. Joo In-ah reversed the situation with an extreme choice to cover up a bigger rumor, even enduring a physical altercation with the head of HR, which shook No Gijoon's judgment.
