Suzy Sooyoung's Idol Investigations premieres to record breaking ratings!

Suzy enters the town of Quiet Hill in Idol Investigations

jTCB's new docu-drama series Idol Investigations debuted to record-breaking ratings earlier tonight. The two-hour premiere achieved a 3.2% share in the ratings, making it the highest-rated episode on jTCB since Queen Insoo scored a 1.183% last December.


The impressive debut has already solidified Idol Investigations as the network's new flagship series, leading many television analysts to speculate that Queen Insoo will no longer be renewed for another season so the network can invest more resources into Idol Investigations.


The first half of the show's premiere episode focused on leading lady Suzy Sooyoung as she set up her own private detective agency in Seoul, which included recruiting a staff of fellow idols to help her, but the drama and excitement amped up by the second hour when glamorous receptionist Sunhwa and geeky forensic investigator Boram got into an office argument after Sunhwa accused the T-ara starlet of treating her like a bimbo. The episode wasn't without its scares either, with Suzy and her partner Jang Hyun being stalked by a menacing car while investigating the haunted town of Quiet Hill for clues on Tiffany Taeyeon's disappearance.

Analysts are attributing the early success of the show to several factors, including the continued media attention around Tiffany Taeyeon, the show's unique premise, the respective fanbases of the main cast members, and the fact that TaeTiSeo's "OMG" was used as the show's opening theme, causing many Sone's to tune solely to support Girls' Generation.


Comments from netizens who turned in to watch the show included, "This show is so scripted, I can't believe they're trying to pass it off as reality", "I got so scared when they went to that haunted town because it proved ghosts really do exist", "It was easy to break ratings records on a flop channel like jTCB", and "I think Sunhwa overreacted when she screamed at Boram and made her cry, which also made me cry too."
