Korean Stars No Longer Want To Appear On “I Live Alone” As Ratings Continue To Plummet 

MBC’s long-running variety show I Live Alone is facing an uphill battle as it struggles with falling ratings and a diminishing lineup of celebrity participants. Once a major hit, the show has seen its viewership numbers drop sharply, leaving the production team searching for solutions to revive interest.

Recent episodes have not managed to capture the public’s attention as they once did. While the show’s ratings previously peaked at impressive levels, they have now slid into the 5% range, marking a significant downturn. I Live Alone’s decline has raised questions about the show’s ability to maintain its relevance, especially as it competes with newer, more exciting programs airing in the same time slot.

One of the main challenges I Live Alone faces is convincing well-known celebrities to appear on the show. Many stars are reluctant due to concerns over their privacy, particularly the exposure of their personal living spaces.

Additionally, some worry that their quieter, everyday routines may not be entertaining enough for viewers, making them hesitant to participate. These concerns are compounded by the ongoing issue of obsessive fans and potential stalking, which has made some celebrities even more cautious about public appearances.

Reports indicate that even when approached, many stars express uncertainty about whether their home lives can engage viewers, fearing their segments might be perceived as uninteresting. This reluctance has left the production team in a tough spot, relying on previous guests who may not draw the same level of curiosity they once did.

As the show marks over a decade on the air — since its debut in 2013 — expectations for fresh content and a revitalized approach are higher than ever. Without significant changes, I Live Alone risks losing its long-held spot as a household favorite.
