In MBC 'I Live Alone' (directed by Heo Hang Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, and Lee Kyung-eun), which aired on the 22nd, Gian84 was shown challenging the 'New York Marathon'.
According to Nielsen Korea on the 23rd, the household viewership of 'I Live Alone', which was broadcast the previous day, was 8.5 percent in the Seoul metropolitan area, ranking first in the same time period and No. 1 in entertainment programs on Friday. In addition, the core 2049 viewership, which is a major indicator of advertising officials and measures channel competitiveness, recorded 4.2 percent (based on the Seoul metropolitan area), ranking first in the same time period and No. 1 overall program on Friday.
The best minute was when Gian84 arrived at the starting zone of the New York Marathon and got ready to run (23:44~23:46). He ate two bagels for breakfast on the ground to replenish his energy and prepare to run, such as a boat number and knee taping, was relaxed as it was his second full-course challenge, but the tension among the viewers reached its peak. As a result, the ratings soared to up to 9.5%.
Gian84 once again held a touching life race and delivered a hot resonance to viewers. Gian84, who succeeded in completing her first full course in the Cheongju Marathon a year ago, gained confidence and challenged her second full course with the goal of 'Completion within 4 hours'. He participated in the "New York Marathon", the largest of the world's six major marathons. The enormous scale of the site, where as many as 60,000 people gathered, surprised everyone.
Gian84's eyes, who has been practicing systematically for a year to keep his promise, were different from before. Kian 84, who started with his own goal with the signal, greeted and smiled at the cheering citizens, and began to speed up to get ahead of the runners.

Gian84 running in a lonely fight with himself can be "Gian84" at the finish point!," he said, pouring his last energy into the appearance of Korean residents cheering for him. Gian84's appearance, which finally succeeded in completing the race by running with the Korean national flag given by Koreans, was touching itself. He said "I'm not a member of the national team, I'm not an Olympian, but there was a strange feeling when I spread the Korean flag"He also expressed his feelings at the time.
The rainbow members also celebrated his completion with everyone clapping. Gian84's record is '4 hours 48 minutes 16 seconds'.
The next day, Gian84, who engraved the record on a medal containing sweat and effort, burst into laughter when he saw his name not published by about five minutes on the New York Times page containing the names of the runners of the New York Marathon. Gian84 also complained, saying, "'Is the record after 4 hours and 44 minutes not even a person?' and "'If you say you'll do it for me, I'll do it until the end.'"
Nevertheless, Gian84 signaled that he would continue to run for his goal, saying about running "what allows me to find myself completely". Although he did not meet his target record, his unwavering persistence made him anticipate constant challenges and new beginnings.
Next week, Key's practical test site for farm cooking technician and Ko Jun's struggle for a good night's sleep were announced, raising questions.
